    Fortunately, that is one area in which Wii Play succeeds admirably. The control of each game manages to prove how accurate the remotes are; Shooting Range’s crosshairs, Table Tennis’ paddles and Billiards’ cue control all feel natural, and anyone can pick up a remote and play along. Nintendo’s philosophy for the Wii has been backed up, at least. Read more

    Pose Mii does exactly what it say on the tin as it asks you, by twisting and turning your Mii in various directions, to match up with a silhouette in a bubble. The bubble with the silhouette starts at the top of the screen and then falls down, waiting for you to twist the Wiimote in the right direction to match up with what’s inside. Some of the silhouettes show Miis with their arms held out or their legs twisted in different ways and you must change yours to match... Read more

    Wii Play’s overall lasting appeal will centre around trying to beat you mates high score or visa-versa as all the games are based around the ‘keep going as long as you can’ gameplay of yore but ultimately as the game is lacking in any form of depth it will gather a whole load of dust over the coming months. It is only fun to play in the shortest of short bursts and even then can get boring rather quickly. The old adage that you get what you pay for probably sums up... Read more

    We'll be honest, we weren't expecting much from Wii Play. But it turns out all nine games are surprisingly addictive, and if you're planning on buying another Remote you really should go for this. Read more

    Being informed on a subject you intend to spend a lot of time with is important. Manuals should be read signs acknowledged and tests taken when deemed necessary; Nintendo has decided that the Wii Remote is also such an object. And so,Wii Play was born; a selection of mini-games that sees you fish, shoot and play laser hockey with a friend to make people remote-savy. It’s sounds fair, but you can’t help but feel that this simple task has been made a little too simple... Read more

    A mix of the good, the bad and the ugly. Look on the bright side, at least the bad and ugly don't last long! Read more

    Some games you can hardly use the wii remote for example ping pong. Ping pong is very hard to use. The fishing game is fun but childish. I would not suggest this game though wii sports is a VERY good game and pretty much everyone has it. Also if your looking for a game for the wii mysims is a very good game. Hope this review will help you! Read more

    I just bought Wii Play with Wii Remote for $49.99. I agree with reviewer Bipi101 "... this is a 10$ game bundled with a remote. Only worth buying because it comes with remote, other than that, it should be in the 15$ bin." The games are fun and good for learning Wii controls and movements, but they are not very in-depth. Each game lasts only 2-5 minutes. I expected more. I would definitely not pay over $10-15 for this game, but with the remote, it's a good value. I do... Read more

    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 Read more
