Wii Play with Wii Remote

Buy this game if you need another remote. In fact, you should not buy a remote on its own if you could get a deal on this game. The game is obviously a $10 quality game, but its well-made nonetheless. The simplicity of the game would attract the newbiest of the gamers as there is almost no learning curve to overcome just to be sufficiently able to have fun. The laser hockey is definitely a multiplayer favorite as it provides endless addiction of trying to get back with each other as you beat them and they beat you back and forth. The billiard is also very nice as it translates your thrusting motion to the power of your billiard stick. The shooting game reminisces of the very old NES duck shooting game, I wish they would just had that whole duck game in there as the version here is way too short. This game quickly replaced our wii sports resort as our multiplayer game of choice that provides simple fun rather than competing in sophistication of wiimoting techniques. However, like the other reviewer said this game is mainly sold for the wiimote, and the games are just slightly more than a demo-like that will last you an hour or two before you get really bored, or hooked, depending who you play with.

We bought this because it came with the remote and its actually a pretty good game! I would recommend it to others, but purely because we only ended up paying $10 more than the remote to get the game as well. Im not sure if its worth much more than that, but I think wii knew this when they created the game as well :) Anyways, I would get this game with the remote to see the variety of things that the wii can do and to play duckhunt :)

I received the Wii Play with Wii remote today. Following are the contents of the package: 1)Wii remote with Jacket 2)Wii Play game disk. 3)Instruction manual for Both Wii remote and Wii Play Games. I was able to play for only 5-10 minutes then we had to leave for shopping. So far so good, might update more later. Now regarding excellent customer service from amazon.com, I had checked with Amazon.com whether the unit comes with Remote Jacket and they told me it does not. So I kept my order with Amazon merchant for Remote jacket as it is. When I got the unit the Jacket was in there so I called amazon and they readily refunded the order total for my jacket only order. Its awesome. Amazon always make sure that the customer end the call with a happy face. Thanks Amazon !!

A nice set of arcade games, and I bought this to get a 2nd wii remote! There are a couple 2 player games. My 4yr old is able to play everything on here w/out a problem except billiards. He esp loves the cow racing game and fishing. My 10 yr old has no problem at all. Great for adults as well if you like the short arcade games. I think there are 9 of them. They all use the standard wii remote.

This purchase is almost too easy. You get a remote control for the Wii and a gamepack. Granted, the games are by no stretch of the imagination hit releases, but they are some good classics made to Wii format. Duck hunt? Yes! Pool? Awkward, but fun! Ping pong? Yao! If this package included the Wii remote attachment piece, it would have been the perfect set. Remote, attachment and a game - all for a very reasonable price. Now, Wii technology is getting a bit long in the tooth, but the games are still pretty fun and honestly, it is the first console to incorporate motion into gaming, so it should get kudos just for that. Overall, the games arent stellar, but fun - the remote is a nice bonus and the price is hard to beat. And to ensure you know what you are getting - this is a real licensed Wii remote, not some generic knockoff that will stop working after 2-3 uses. If youve been looking for another remote and fun way to kill a day inside with the family - get this gamepack and play to your hearts content.

This game should be packaged with the Wii itself. It is FANTASTIC for learning how to use the remotes. Its also fun if you just need a few minutes to chill. Beyond that it gets dull fast. Played it for hours when we got it. Then I was pretty much over it for good. Oh, it has a nice variety of games, but each game has only one variation. After youve run the gamut youre done. There are no expansion levels, no real options. Kids will get a kick out of it, especially in groups. Just dont expect it to hold their attention long.

This is definately worth the money. Picture buying a Wiimote with a $10 game. The most of the games take about 10 seconds to get used to, and are generally better for a younger crowd. There are 9 minigames in all on it, but about half of them are useless. Find Mii and Pose Mii might as well not even exist. The cow racing game is fun for about 5 minutes, then gets old. The same thing can be said about the table tennis. The fishing game is good for working on your reflexes and is fairly entertaining. The laser hockey and shooting game is really fun. But the highlights of this game is the billiards and the tank game. Billiards is really fun, but should have had a 9-ball version as well. The tank game can keep you entertained for hours, and is the only challenging game in the whole thing. If nothing else, get it just for these four games. Its worth the ten extra dollars.

If youve played Wii Sports and are expecting Wii Play to be more of the same fun, think again. Wii Plays games are much less involved, and while there are 9 games overall, there arent any hidden games or fun features that made Wii Sports so enjoyable, just mindless medals you can collect as you pursue high scores (Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum). While Wii Sports was a game in which you could unlock features as you progressed, the only thing you unlock in Wii Play are the 9 games, and youre forced to do this unlocking process when you begin. Instead of being able to play all the games, you start with one, have to play it, then you can play the next one, until you end up in the ninth and final game. What is really annoying about this is that your score during the first run does not count toward the medals you get, so dont worry about doing well in any game until you have them all unlocked. Also, once you get a gold medal, you have to play again to even have a chance to get a platinum medal. Every time you get a medal your Wii gives you a hint about the game. However, if you get a Silver or Gold medal before you get a Bronze for example, then you lose out on a tip. Very poor design if you ask me. Of the nine games, I found Shooting Range, Charge!, Tanks!, Billiards, and Fishing rather fun, but Find Mii, Table Tennis, Pose Mii and Laser Hockey are not that great. Five decent side-games for $10 isnt too bad though. The Enjoyable 01. Billiards -- There is a bit of a learning curve here and its awkward because there doesnt seem to be any penalty for sinking the wrong balls, but with time youll love it. Just find some music to play because this game has a terrible soundtrack. 02. Tanks -- While Tanks! is by far the most complex game on the disc, it is also annoying to have to start from scratch all the time. Nice freeform play though and there is no time limit for single player mode. Pretty addictive. 03. Charge! -- While there is only one course, riding a weird looking cow is pretty cool. Unlike the other games, you decide where you are going the whole time, and the freeform design, despite the time limit, is a lot of fun. 04. Shooting Range -- This game will make you want a Wii Gun, lots of fun but limited playback. Just fun to shoot targets with Wiimote. 05. Fishing -- Very limited hungry hungry hippo like game, casting can be awkward due to the fish running out of room to swim, but an interesting game. The graphics are odd though. The Boring 06. Find Mii -- There are some interesting scenes, but very easy to get bored. Great for puzzle seekers and memory building though. For the odd Miis out, just look for something like Miis looking the wrong way at tennis. 07. Pose Mii -- Once again, great for the puzzle-loving crowd, but not my style of fun. 08. Table Tennis -- All you do is move the remote back and forth like pong, no swing, no skill involved except twitch gaming. Much better for the Wiimote actually than Laser Hockey since you move left and right rather than up and down the whole time, but still rather boring after awhile. I mean, if you have Wii Sports, Tennis is just so much better than Table Tennis. 09. Laser Hockey -- Worthless to play in single player, youll end up watching the CPU score goals for you because the puck ends up weirdly getting past the paddle too easy and it becomes impossible to save. Youll do the same back sometimes for the CPU. Better in multiplayer but the game dynamics just suck. Its hard to play a game with the Wiimote when you are controlling the left or right side of the screen and the game would have probably been more fun to use with traditional controller rather than a Wiimote.

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.

This product is a bargain-priced game ($10) bundled with a not-so-bargain-priced WiiMote ($30). It is an excellent novelty for adults AND children, but the fun wears off after a few weeks of play. I gave this product a 4-star fun rating because though some of the games bombed, some of them are truly fun to play. The WiiMote that comes with the game worked fine for me, and came with batteries and a clear protective cover (unlike my first WiiMote.) Sometimes the connection with the game is a little patchy, but not very often. Now, for the 9 minigame overviews... SHOOTING RANGE- 7/10 Quick and fast-paced. The goal is to shoot ducks, targets, balloons, and UFOs. It becomes a little repetitive, with the targets going in nearly the same order every time, but other than that its a lot of fun. Slow players be wary! FIND MII- 5/10 A little slow, but still all right. The goal is to find the Miis with certain characteristics- look-alikes, sleepyheads, fastest Mii, etc. The modes of play are all pretty much the same, but the settings are varied. Its especially fun to play with someone else, but you need sharp eyes to win! POSE MII- 2/10 Boring and slightly confusing at first. The goal is to pose your Mii and insert it in little bubbles before they pop. The bubbles go faster and faster until youre eventually beaten, so theres no real winning on single player. I didnt really get this game. PING PONG- 6/10 Fast-paced, but can be confusing at times. The goal is to keep returning each others serves, but its much different from real Ping-Pong. In this you simply block the ball from flying off the table- no swinging serves, spinning, etc. Still, its interesting enough and has good replay value. LASER HOCKEY- 6/10 COOL sums it up pretty well. The laser effects are a great touch, and this game is a lot of fun with another person. Sometimes the puck is slow, however, and its frustrating when it gets stuck in the corners or right outside the goal. Quite realistic, though! CHARGE!- 7/10 Hilarious at first, but the fun does wear off after running on the same track every time. At first the concept of riding a cow, collecting scarecrows, and leaping over hurdles is enough to make you want to play over and over again, but once you get used to it the funs gone. PLAY WITH ANOTHER PLAYER! FISHING- 4/10 A little odd. The goal is to catch the fish that they want you to catch, but for players who havent mastered their Wii controls properly, its confusing and difficult. Its really nothing like fishing, because all of the fish fight to bite the hook. The graphics are interesting, though! BILLIARDS- 8/10 For pool/billiards fanatics (or even dabblers) this game is a dream come true. Its realistic and has fairy simple conrtrols. The only problem is that the mode of play (9-ball pool) cannot be changed. Good for people who are beginners or novices, too! TANKS- 9/10 HILARIOUS and a TON of fun! I personally like this game the best. You steer your little toy tank around a battlefield of bricks, shooting and bombing enemy tanks (the goal is to blow them up.) You get lives on single player, but on multiplayer (where you work as a team) you dont. The Nunchuk can be used if you are really intent on winning, but for casual gamers the D-pad should suffice. Overall, I think this game has something for everyone! Adults will like Billiards for sure, and kids will enjoy Charge!. If youre thinking about purchasing a new WiiMote, I suggest you get this bundle (its not really worth it alone.)
