Wii Play

Wii Play Wiiview

I Know this review is a little late considering that it came out 2-3 years ago. But any way this game could have been good but the peoples were to lazy to make more than 8 games. Some games had some potential but most of them got boring after a few times of playing them. Two games actually are good such as Skeet and Pool. But this game still is pretty bad so I give it a 5.5/10
Single Player-5
Multiplayer-6
Presintation-5

Great Purchase If Only For the Remote

Ever since the release of the Nintendo Wii and the rise in popularity of Wii Sports, Nintendo fans and casual gamers alike have been searching for the perfect follow-up in which to import their Mii's and have some more party game fun. Unfortunately, despite the hype surrounding this title, this isn't the game you're looking for. Wii Play is essentially a collection of nine mildly entertaining minigames for up to two players to play. Here are the games and how they stack up:

Shooting: This game was obviously inspired by Duckhunt, as they actually had similar looking ducks fly around in the background as you're trying to hit targets. Other than that, this was a rather entertaining diversion made more so if you have a second person playing as well.

Find Mii: Essentially a Wii version of Where's Waldo which can be played with two players. Kinda neat at first to see all your created Miis running around waiting to get spotted, but gets old fast.

Pose Mii: I absolutely hated this one. Your cursor becomes your Mii as bubbles fall from the sky with various poses on them. It's your job to get your Mii in the right pose and then place them into the bubble. Easily the worst game in the entire package.

Ping Pong: Don't expect this to be another Wii Tennis, because this is much more simplistic. You don't have to swing your paddle at all, you just have to make sure it's in front of the ball when it starts heading your way. This game could have used a lot more depth, but is still enjoyable to play with two players.

Laser Hockey: The physics on this game are really crazy, but I think that's where a lot of the enjoyment of it comes in. You will have a load of fun playing with a friend as you will most likely spend the duration of most games scoring points on yourselves.

Billiards: Much to my disappointment, this is not your standard game of pool. Actually, it's just a game of 9 Ball which you have the option of playing with another player. It's cool trying to pretend your Wii remote is a pool cue for a little while, but when you realize how limited this particular game really is, the magic wears off fast.

Fishing: This one is merely okay and is somewhat enjoyable with another player. You use your Wii remote as a fishing rod and slowly place your hook in the water. On the top is a desired type of fish that the game wants you to go for and you just wait on a fish to grab your line. Once it does, you jerk your arm back to catch the fish, and depending on the type, you will earn points. This continues for a few minutes and whomever has the most points when the time runs out is the winner.

Cow Race: Not as cool as it sounds. Each player hops on the back of a poorly controlled cow and races towards the finish line, trying to hit all the scarecrows they can. The winner is not determined by who finishes the race first, but rather who hit the most scarecrows on the way through. It's a humorous game to start with, but once you realized how poorly cows are at racing, the charm wears off quickly.

Tanks: Easily the best game in this entire package. Each player controls a tank placed in a tiny obstacle course littered with destructible walls and other enemy tanks. You can fire a barrage of bullets, or lay mines, but you must destroy the enemy tanks by any means necessary. It's a mindlessly addictive experience that can only be described by trying it out yourself.

Although there aren't that many great games in this package, it is still a great deal and worth picking up. It comes with a Wii remote, which in itself is $40. And considering that this entire purchase is only $50, it doesn't take a math expert to realize what a great bargain this is.

Creative but boring

this game was very unique with fun minigames, but it got boring EXTREMELY fast. I'll be first to admit that I basically only got it for the remote.

A Wii bit fun?

Wii play is the game that you play when you really dont feel like playing a game but dont really want to do anything else. Some games are fun like shooting the targets, racing cows and a couple other but most really aren't any good laser hockey, find the matching miis come on just lame.but the up side it's really only a $10 game only purchase if you need the wiimote this game is not worth the $40 but if you justify it because you needed the wiimote anyway it is tolerable for $10. not even a good rent.

It's fun, but you can only play for so long.

Instead of having 9 awesome games they've got a couple that just suck. The ones worth playing are actually a lot of fun (Tanks, billiards, shooting, charge). Ping pong and laser hockey would be a lot more fun if the controls weren't so awkward. Don't even get me started on that stupid ass Pose Mii game, that game takes the cake for bad minigames. The fishing is pretty fun, but you can only catch so many fish til it gets boring and that tiny gray one that gives you -50 gets really annoying. Your controller vibrates so you reel it in only to find out that it's worth less than nothing. Without a doubt though tanks is my favorite, such a fun little game, even by yourself. I love the fact that you get a Wii-mote. That's the only reason people buy it..haha
