 It's Basically Another Tech Demo February 22, 2007
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
Wii Sports was a marvelous way to show people what the Wii could do. Wii Sports is also a fairly addictive game that just about anyone can pick up and play. Wii Play is somewhat like Wii Sports. It's basically another game to give you a preview of what the Wii can do. Unlike Wii Sports, however, the games aren't nearly as good and they aren't as memorable. Part of what made Wii Sports so great was its simplistic, yet involving, gameplay. Wii Play doesn't make you feel nearly as involved as Wii Sports does. To its credit, however, it does come with a Wii Remote packaged inside, but if you really really loved Wii Sports, you're definitely going to be let down Wii Play.
There are nine games in Wii Play. One is very similar to Duck Hunt in that you have to use the Wii Remote as a gun and shoot things. Fairly simple, but it leaves an empty feeling in you. Another game involves you having to find certain Mii's (imagine Where's Waldo). There's Table Tennis, a game where you pop bubbles, billiards, laser hockey, fishing, some game where you ride a cow and Tanks. With Nine games you're bound to find something good, but Laser Hockey may very well be the best of the lot.
None of the games are really that bad, they're just not as involving or as fun as Wii Sports, nor can they hit that level of addiction that Wii Sports gives you. Which is why I say that if you really do love Wii Sports, then Wii Play is a let down. You get a Wii Remote packed in with the game, though, so it's almost like buying the game itself for ten dollars. Sadly, the Wii Remote alone may be the reason to buy this seeing as how as this review is being written, Wii Remotes in your local retail store are still pretty hard to come by.
None of the games are horrible, but none of them have any lasting appeal. You'll grow bored with most of them after a couple of plays. It's not bad, but we've already been exposed to what the Wii can do, and I don't think most people need a second tutorial.
Not bad, but only get it if you need another remote. February 22, 2007

Wii Play, as the description states, is a collection of mini-games bundled with another Wii remote control. For only $10 more than a remote on its own, it is a pretty good deal.
The games are simple, and mostly there to instruct the user on ways in which the remote can be used.
1. Shooting Range: Pretty fun, and shows the potential for future "Duck Hunt" style games, but unfortunately is too short. 2 player on this one is pretty fun.
2. Billiards: Cool, but the controls are difficult.
3, Cow Racing (Charge!): Silly, but my 2 year-old son laughs hysterically when me and my wife race against each other, so I guess that's good for $10.
4. PingPong: Too difficult to control acurately.
5. Laser hockey: Boring.
6. Find the Miis: Pretty decent brain-teaser type of game, again more fun with 2 players.
7. Tanks: Fun, in an atari 2600 "Combat" style. (That's not a bad thing... "Combat" was a sweet game, as anyone over age 35 will recall)
8. Fishing: Super lame.
9. Pose Mii: OK. Again, our 2 year-old loves to watch us play it, but otherwise it loses its fun pretty quickly.
All in all, not a bad use of the $10 extra, but if you don't need any more controllers, it isn't worth getting for just the game. You will likely be able to find this game used pretty soon, at a cheap price.
 This is fun but not as much exersize as wii sports February 21, 2007

This is way worth the money since it comes with a free remote. We have had fun playing these games but I really liked the sports as it gets my kids up and moving. These games are not as active and only 2 people can play so I always have one kid left out.
 Meh... February 21, 2007

I would have to agree with most of the reviews here.
Here's the bottom line.
If this was a standalone title without the WiiMote and was in the bargain bin for $10, I would have probably given it a shot anyway.
At that price, I guess you're getting what you pay for.
The ping pong game had alot of promise, but they spoiled it by not expanding the options. I mean, who cares about returning shots until you miss? That's a game?
Billiards is alot of fun at first, but again, NO variety!
One of the reasons Wii Sports is so much fun has to do with variety. If you get sick of the regular games, you have Training Mode, etc.
Wii Play could have benefited from having more options and depth.
With MP 8 coming out sometime this year, I needed another WiiMote anyway, so it's not a total loss.
Atleast the Controller comes with the Game February 20, 2007

The controller is the only good part of it becuase I needed another one. The minigames are awfuland get very boring. FIrst of all, you have to go through all the stupid mini games just to unlock each. By finishing it all, you can then go back and play the 1 or 2 mini games that you actually liked but by then you are bored out of your mind and want to go to sleep. The only possibly good game is the tanks game. THe pool is awful and the rest of the games are long and boring. I was looking foward to ping pong and hockey only to find them both boring because the ping pong you just hit it back and forth but the hockey is boring. The fishing is awful. The cow charge was somewhat fun until you don't reach the end because you are supposed to knock down scare crows and reach the barn in the small amount of time. Overally, I would save my money and just buy the remote which you can get
