Advantages: The price is brilliant, some games are fun.

Disadvantages: Many of the games seem rushed and single player is boring

Bundled with a wii remote which often costs more on it's own to buy makes this game a no brainer to buy. Unfortunately, Nintendo have used this as more of a tech demo than a game. In terms of price and value it certainly reaches the 4 or 5 stars, but as a game, it seriously lacks the Nintendo magic. It makes you wonder if they give 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 free, but this could have been a lot better with the inclusion of party modes, and more games that weren't basic tech demos.

Summary: Quick game bundled in with the wii remote to sneakily sell more.
