Wii Play with Wii Remote

I was fortunate to find this item on sale here for the same price as the Wii Remote. So it was a great value for me since I needed another controller. The games are not great however they meant to make you more familiar to handling the Wii Remote. Bottomline - If you need another remote and this package is on sale for the same price as the remote, buy it. Otherwise dont spend the extra $10.00.

Over all a good set of games. The only knock I have is the lack of directions. It took calling a friend to find out I had to play all the games once before I could pick the game I wanted to play. While playing pool it can be difficult to get the hang of how to move the cue stick. Its easy to point the controller away from the screen as you draw the cue back and then nothing happens. Over all Id say this is a buy.

I just got a Nintendo Wii that came with Wii Sports and needed another remote so I got this bundled product. I did some research before buying it and I found that in Japan it is actually called Introduction to Wii in Japan ([...], scroll down to the part where the interview is asking why they used the word training for Links Crossbow) so I knew exactly the quality of the game I was getting. This, I think, made it more fun because I wasnt expecting some wondrous game. I take it for what its worth and its a bunch of little games to show you how to use the remote. Thats it plain and simple. Most are pretty fun too!

the game itself is alright. Its no wii sports thats for sure. The best thing about this game is that it comes with a controller and for the price, its a bonus. I really only bought it for the controller but surprisingly some of the games are actually pretty good. The billiards and the shooting game are the ones we play, the bubble game and the matching are good for the little ones.

Well since christmas of this year, I have went to multiple stores, online and all, and could not find a wii remote, the only ones ive seen are the generic colored ones. Call me crazy but I like my things to match and the name brands. But everyone was out of them, the only way to get one was to order this game. With that being said, the game itself is a little cheesy for an adult, but great for small kids. My 2 favorite games on here is the cow race, and the hunting game, its similar to the old duck hunt on NES. Ping Pongs not bad, but I had the worst time trying to figure out how to maneuver my wiimote to play the 9-ball pool. If your buying this just for the wiimote, then great, but I wouldnt suggest paying more than 10 bucks for the game itself.

If you need to buy an extra remote, this is a good deal. Id recommend it for those who are new to the Wii. The games included are really good for learning how to use the remote and getting your hand-eye-pointer coordination down for the real games. Overall the games included are pretty simple and have no replay value other than trying to beat someone else score. In most cases I could see people playing through the 9 games a few times till they get bored of them, then putting the disk away for good.

First, dont let the overall rating for this game fool you. I admit that I am not a hardcore gamer, but I do like fun simple games. However, this game (or collection of games) is way too simple, in fact I feel as though I may have lost some of my IQ just playing this worthless game. I am ashamed to have this title in my game collection, what is worse is that I cant get rid of it unless I am prepared to lose at least half of what I paid for it! Virtually every game on this CD should be rated for age 6 and UNDER as not a single game even lives up to the game collection that comes with the Wii. The only reason I may keep this game is for the extra Wii remote since it would have cost me about what I paid for this game. In fact the only reason I rated this game with one star is because the rating system would allow for 0 or -10 stars. STEER CLEAR OF THIS GAME!! Anyone who tells you otherwise must either be high on crack or is trying to sell their copy.

We have so much fun with these little games -- just pick them up & enjoy! I am not very competitive, so I enjoy playing for fun, not to beat everyone else in the room! The race is amusing & the faster you go, the crazier the ride. I had to work at it a bit to get my score up, since the scarecrows pop up & skid away quickly I like the other games as well, and found I was pretty good at some of the shooting challenge... even though I have never done anything like that before. The ducks always surprise you... and are a bit tricky. The shape matching is a bit tricky - until your auto-reflexes kick in. Fishing -- Now over 2,000 pts and cruising~ Doesnt frustrate younger players, fun to pick up and play a few rounds, but if you are super competitive - move on.

Ok, let me start, a wii remote on here is 45.99. This package is 44.99,free shipping and you get a fun,entertaining (free) game. For everyone bitching about how lame it is, just shut up already. The shooting and the tanks are great, tanks are fun and challenging and my only complaint with the shooting is it isnt longer. This is a fun game, and I wouldnt hesitate to buy this package again. I guess if you are a serious gamer that sits around and plays games 24/7 then this wouldnt interest you, but we are enjoying it.

The Wii Play games are pretty fun and, for us, its worth the cost to have the billiards, ping pong, and ice hockey (they call it laser hockey). Wii Play on its own is probably not worth more than about $15-$20, but we bought because we also got the free remote. What I didnt realize--having gotten a Wii and another remote that had a rechargeable battery for the holidays--is that all remotes are not rechargeable. It seems one has to buy a separate battery pack, which costs another $10. Nintendo seems to have mastered the art of make them buy more.
