Wii games.
Wii sports, Free with console.
This game contains five mini games.
Tennis, golf, baseball, bowling and boxing it also contains a fitness checker and a training program.
Tennis:
Players - 1 to 4.
You take control of your Mii and play doubles matches against the machine controlling two people with no lag.
Incredibly responsive when using forehand, backhand, over or underarm shots this is a fantastic game that can be played while leaping around your living room or sat on your sofa, but where's the fun in that.
Golf:
Players - 1 to 4.
It's Golf, You need to stand up, strike the pose and hit the ball.
Sounds easy doesn't it.
It's not! The Wii picks up your angle, power and therefore you will need to spend a little time adjusting your golf game. The only area this game falls down on is the putting which can sometimes loose sensitivity.
Baseball:
Players - 1 or 2.
Very responsive when batting or pitching, on one player mode you play your whole team while batting and then become pitcher when you switch sides with the Wii taking control of your fielder's.
Bowling:
Players - 1 to 4.
Adjust your stance, adjust the direction, swing that arm and bowl.
You will get the hang of it in no time and start learning some tricks.
Boxing:
Players - 1 to 2.
This is the only Wii sports game that requires both the wand and the nunchuck.
The basic idea is to hold both controls (one in each hand) and beat up the opponent with vigour. This is a great game but go easy, my shoulders were sore for about two days.
Health and fitness:
A little series of tests that give you a health age. Errrr i wont tell you mine but needless to say Bognar may be calling me.
Summary:
Graphics: 10/10
fantastic, nothing over complicated and in Nintendo's typical style.
Gameplay: 10/10
great fun on your own but better with mates. Loads of room to improve and build up your stats.
Longevity: 10/10
This is one of those games that you will keep playing on and off, it will come out at Christmas or when you have mates round.
Overall: 10/10
Conclusion:
A cracking good game for all the family and one that is a great way to kill 20mins.
