Wii Play (Wii) ... friends and family. Wii Play consists of a selection of nine very different mini-games on one game, which are designed to help you master the unique Wii Remote, whilst also providing hours of entertainment. To ensure you can enjoy Wii Play with your friends, the game comes bundled with a free Wii Remote. Wii Play consists of a variety of quirky games that can be played either alone or with a friend. This includes Shooting Range, which is the first game unlocked and is reminiscent of the classic Duck Hunt (released on the NES). In order to unlock the next game the player simply needs to complete the previous one (this sequence continues throughout). When all of the games have been unlocked players can start earning medals for their performance. Find Mii involves picking the right face out of a crowd in an environment that constantly changes - it’s a race against the clock and each other! Pose Mii requires players to make their Mii characters fit into the shapes in the Wii bubbles. To do this they must swing the remote to the right angle to make it fit inside. The psychedelic colours and quirky graphics involved in this puzzle make it instantly addictive. Other games included are Charge, where players have to hold onto a rampaging bull and try not to fall off! Players steer their bull and make it jump by moving the Wii Remote in the right direction, attempting to knock over scarecrows on the way. Tanks, which also makes use of the Nunchuk controller, tests a player’s strategic skills encouraging them to leave trails of mines for other tanks to stumble across. Wii Play also features faithful recreations of real sport games demanding precision and skill with the Wii Remote. In Table Tennis players hold the Wii Remote like a bat and use it to move their on-screen character’s hand and return balls. In Fishing players cast their line with similar moves as they would in real life and then wait for a bite before jerking the remote back to hook and reel in a fish. As a pub favourite, Billiards will be an instant hit with older Wii owners. In this game players hold the remote like the back of a snooker cue and use a smooth sliding motion to hit the cue ball. Finally Laser Hockey is a cross between air hockey and ping-pong. Gentle flicks of the wrist are picked-up by the Wii Remote making the pace of the game as relaxed or as frantic as required. Wii Play takes simple concepts and demonstrates how much fun they can be by using the Wii’s unique control mechanism. The Wii’s unique Mii channel also allows players to build their own customised avatar that can then star as the central character in Wii Play and other games.

 ... that golden seal to just about anything! The highlights of this package include games such as table tennis and a modern day lightgun game. Both are endless fun in multiplayer, and you will always strive to shoot that one extra can on the light gun game. That's how the whole game is designed to be, fun in multiplayer. Playing solo however, you become bored after 10 minutes, games such as Fishing and the poorly implemented Pool with fiddly controls detract from the experience. Sure you're getting the game essentially...more

Premium Review Wii Play (Wii): Great fun games with a Wii remote (788 words)
by - written on 22/08/07 (Very useful, 171 readings)
Rating:

I bought this game a few months after getting my Wii when I decided I wanted something similar to Wii sports (included with the Wii console), since I loved being able to use my own Miis - the little characters you create on the console - as playable characters. Wii play offers this with nine new mini games, plus a Wii remote included. Reviews I'd seen of this game before buying it didn't look good but since it came with the remote I thought it was worth buying anyway. This game was released in Europe on the 8th of December 2006. It comes packaged in the usual disc case that all the Wii games are packaged in but with an extra box around it to hold the Wii ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Wii Play, Wii wish (553 words)

The only real reason i bought this is due to the fact that it comes with a free Wii controller, and that is still he only reason i bought it. Wii play is barely worth the box that it came in. The games are primarily aimed at getting you used to how the Wii control works and it accomplishes this goal, but nothing more. he games are not very fun to play, and you will get bored of them very quickly: Shooting range: 6/10. This is one of the better, more challenging games on Wii play. You fing yourself shooting targets in a frantic manner whilst trying to obtain a hi score. Both one and two player this game is alright but the novelty wares off after a little ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Wii Play (Wii): Simple Games Can Be The Most Fun (622 words)
by - written on 01/02/08 (Very useful, 374 readings)

I was lucky enough to receive a Nintendo Wii for Christmas despite all of the shortages (and at the correct retail price). However a lot of the Wii games are much more fun and often designed with two or more players in mind. We all know that Wii Sports comes as a freebie and a very good one at that but the Tennis and Boxing are much more fun two player. So I decided that another controller would be practically essential. I had read that the game Wii Play comes with a bundled controller. It costs about £5 more than just the controller so I thought that for the difference I might as well get it. The ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review WiiPlay: Short and Sweet. (208 words)

WiiPlay is a simple but effective title that demonstrates the basic functions of the innovative Wii controller through a series of simple, enjoyable games. Players can choose to play from a range of games including a Shooting Gallery, Table Tennis, Billiards and 'Laser Hockey'. These games are a good, fun introduction to the way in which the Wii controller can be used (usually be replicating the object used in the game: eg, in 'Billiards' the Wii controller becomes a billiard cue, in 'Table Tennis' a ping pong bat etc.). There are also slightly different games, such as a game in which users are required to perform a variety of tasks such as 'spotting the odd ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Wii Play (Wii): Wii play and remote (204 words)

This game comes with a Wii contoller and this is the only thing that the game has going for it, but then i did not expect that much for around a fiver. It retails for around 40 pounds and that is for the wii remote and the game where as the remote on its own retails at 33 pounds so there really is not that much difference and you get a game with it as well. You have 9 games on Wii play which vary from Tanks, Laser Hockey, Table Tennis, Shooting Range, Billiards and Fishing these can be single or two player. This game is great for the kids and it would keep them entertained for hours and all the games are simple to play and the remote is easy to use, ...  Read the complete review
