[Wii] Wii Sports

Wii Sports

Maximum 4 Player – Minimum 1 Player

Type of Player To Accommodate: Sport/Fitness

For a launch game – this is immense. For a freebie thrown in the box to make up space and give you something to do whilst waiting for games to come out – its unbeatable!

This game is based around fitness – with the option of doing a workout mode – which monitors your ‘age check’ in real time (I started at 48, and got down to a slender 27 – although I’m 24!) this really tests you and I don’t believe anyone who doesn’t break a sweat playing – isn’t playing properly!

Each sport comes with a skill point level. Everytime you play, depending on how well you do – gives you skill points. They will rack up quick at low levels, but once you start getting higher – you get a handful for even the biggest workout!

Ranged from 0-2000 points, reaching the 1,000 will get the rank of ‘Professional’ in the game (your player gets tagged and everything!) Depending on your skill level this will determine the level of your opponent – usually around 50-100 points higher then you. Except in Pro – for instance… I reached 1,100 in Tennis (I’ve got natural racket sport skill!) and once you reached 1,000 the computer is automatically set to 2,000 skill point difficulty. So although I still win the games – its chuffing hard to beat the computer at that level!

But if the computer were to hammer me in a game, then you would LOSE skill points too! A bad day on the bowling alley will cost me lots of points! So it adds massive amounts of pressure!

Boxing – very fun, very addictive, good work out, lots of movement, bobbing and weaving required! Bowling – awesome! Not at all life like, but adding flare and hook and spin, can make it very cool and is difficult to master – but fun when you do! Tennis – excellent work out, quick reflexes, lots of follow through and you’re there! Baseball – so VERY difficult to get the hang of to start with, but once you get the ‘swing’ of it – it’s a good laugh, and trying to ‘clang’ one out of the park when the bases are loaded is pressure its self! Golf – want a pile of cod! The golf is embarrassingly difficult, a nightmare to control and impossible to get good at. The slightest wrist movement can cost you a massive swinging slice – and can cost you the game! Its rubbish! I love golf in real life – but hate the gold on Wii Sports! Haha!
