126 4 Ok this is my first review so give me an easy time . I have had a lot a fun with this game i never play this game alone its too boring by yourself . With more people your laughing having fun just having a good time . Dont get me wrong the games awesome just not so great by yourself its a 3 out of 5 by yourself with more people 5 out of 5 this game is a must own for anyone with the wii or loves the wii . If you liked the first wii sports or wii play you will LOVE this one this one also has some of the mini games from the first wii sports this one has some new mini games like sword play and wave boarding both a lot of fun also this one uses the new wii motion plus witch works great its awesome it just annoying that you cant leave it in to play other wii games if you have this in when try too play other wii games that arent compatible it wont register the nunchuck and it gets annoying that sometimes that you have to place down the wii mote so the wii motion plus can register bottom line have a wii like party games ? Get this game .
049 4 This is definately a must have if you like the free sports game you have to own this , plus it comes with motion plus for your controller a great deal ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
111 4 This is one of the funnest games to play at a get-together . I only wish that there were more games that came with it . Have fun !
124 4 This is a very exciting game . never a dull moment . The more you play , the more options you unlock . Great fun whether solo or with friends and family . Highly recommended .
140 4 This game is a fun family game that's meant to be played in groups . By yourself , it only has limited value before it gets old .
155 4 The only think I don't like about the new motion plus is that you have to calibrate it every 10 - 15 minutes , it's not hard , you just lay down the control on a flat surface and it took like 5 seconds . But this game is awesome for the whole family and all ages .
170 4 Great game . I got it for my kids for Christmas . It came with one wii motion motion plus , which was nice , but if you want to compete using other remotes in the game , you must have a motion plus for your other remotes as well . This should be made clear when buying the game .
175 4 This game has been used more than any other that we got for Christmas ! Santa left it for the entire family and we play it quite a bit ! The bowling and archery are really fun , and my 7 year old loves the sword fighting !
192 4 This has been a great game for the entire family . You do need to purchase additional motion plus connectors if more than one person wants to play , and I recommend that as the games are so much fun to play together . Our 4 year old likes this game and can be successful playing it , but it is still challenging for the 11 year old . And grandma and grandpa even enjoy playing it . There are several levels to each of the games so it stays challenging too . For our family this is on the must have list of games for the Wii .
228 4 This game has been the most fun I have had compared to most other Wii games . I am not crazy about the wakeboarding game but the rest of the games are just fun and I mean fun for all ages ! Out of 5 stars , I gave it a five but I would really love to give it a 10 . Great bundle for a great price .
233 4 We have played this game for hours with all ages of my family ( ages 8 - 60 ) . Everyone has loved it . If you can find the game with 2 controllers - get it ! The original game comes with one motion controller and you have to buy another one for an additional $20 . That is the only part I hate is having to spend even more money to buy the gadgets to even play . Later , we bought the limited edition 2 controller game on Amazon for $59 and saved $10 . This will be a christmas gift for our niece and nephew . I have seen these advertised in stores with both controllers for $49 . but it is a limited edition and already out of stock ! ! If you can not find the limited edition set , it is worth the $69 to get all you need .
237 4 We bought this game about a month ago . . . and have yet to touch any other game since ! It is amazing fun . . . and has tremendous staying power ! !
245 4 All out fun for me and the family . I especially love the dog and frisbee game . Good clean fun for hours .
312 4 the game is great especially if you have others to play with . If you're bt yourself get ready for boredom after the first hour .
321 4 The whole family had a wiikend of fun . Everybody took turns playing wii and had a blast . We actually made plans to have a wiikend at least once a month .
339 4 The game is great . I did not try all the games on the disk , the ones I did try were great . I would give it 5 stars only some sports are common , but some you will not find anywhere else .
341 4 This game is fun . It's a bit annoying that you must buy the motion plus remote to play it but , otherwise , it's good .
347 4 This game is a great add on to the basic unit with basic games . Good family fun . Hat the octogenarians using it too .
353 4 This game has created a stronger bond within my family . We sat aside time every night to play . We don't answer any phone calls , it all about us . We have fun competing against each other in a loving way .
359 4 This is a great game . I especially love the archery and my kids love the sword fitting and basketball . There are a lot of great games in this one .
Wii Sports Resort ( Video Game )
With much anticipation , I opened my new copy of Wii Sports Resort . I ran through all of the games and I am satisfied overall . If you enjoyed Wii Sports and find yourself popping it in your Wii every now and then , you will certainly like Sports Resort . These games are great when you have a few people around and you just want to pass the Wiimote around and give everyone a chance to have fun . The game lengths are kept short so you can play several games of each type . The Wiimotion add on does improve the accuracy of the Wiimote but you will have to experiment a little to notice it . Once you do , you will like it . I noticed quite a bit of diffence in the new bowling game . I twisted my wrist slightly to simulate a spin and this translated fantastically using the Wiimotion remote add on . Another great use of the Wiimotion add on is in the Jet Ski game . If you hold the wiimote like it's a handlebar on a motorcycle , it allows you to throttle the jet ski just as you would a motorcycle by twisting the right handle . That worked great . Other stand out games include frisbee throwing which was quite accurate with wiimotion , 3 - point basketball , and canoeing . I didn't see how the canoeing event used the wiimotion but it was a good game nonetheless . The basketball free throwing for points is like being at an amusement park where you go from station to station and each station has 5 balls you shoot within a certain time limit . This was a great crowd pleaser .
Like a previous review mentioned . I do wish there were more variety in the games . Not more games , but just more courses and more events withing each game but don't let that stop you from picking up a copy . I predict a lot of wiimotion games will soon be out and Wii Sports is a great start .
Update ! ! ! 8 / 3 / 09 . . .
Ok , I've had Wii Sports Resort for over a week now and wanted to give some more insight into a few games since I have played them for awhile . I'm listing pros and cons but I still stand on my initial review that Wii Sports Resort is a great addition to my library of games .
SWORDFIGHTING : I like this game but for newbees on the wii , it appears that it is difficult to understand that this game isn't all about slashing your opponent as fast as you can . Blocking plays a key role and if you don't get that then the game isn't nearly as interesting . Just imaging boxing where you just keep swinging the remote with no finesse just blow after blow . Not really fun but good exercise . The blocking in swordfighting , if done right by both participants , eliminates the frenzied movement of the wiimote to slash your opponent and makes the game a little more strategic . It's difficult to train a newbee not to just want to attack attack attack and they end up losing and don't even know why .
WATERSPORTS : The jetski games is good and takes practice to ride your jetski through the rings . However , the water ski game just didn't stay on the screen long as it is only fun for a short time . The type of tricks you can do on the water ski are limited and repetitive . With better courses this may have been a stand out game such as dodging obstacles or jumping over ramps .
BASKETBALL : Both the free throw and 3 - on - 3 pickup games are good . This will be played alot the 3 - on - 3 games has blocking capabilities that generates a lot of laughs . One improvement here would be that if a ball is blocked that the blocker shouldn't automatically get the ball but it should be a free for all and given to the first player who can get to it .
ARCHERY : I love the potential of this game the most but feel it also needs a lot of improvements that could have made this THE standout game . First , the controls are a bit awkward . The wiimote simulates the bow and the nunchuck simulates the string . Not sure why but quite often once you have the string pulled all of the way back and try to aim the bow at your target , the wiimote is pointing in some obscure way like way to the left or almost pointed to the floor when you are directly aimed at the target . With practice this can be controlled but it seems like this could have been improved . Re-calibrating the wiimote did not help . I believe the game picks up the target when you pull the string back with the nunchuck regardless of where your wiimote is and then when you move your wiimote around to aim at the target it is usually not facing the tv . I also believe this game needs a little more variety . It's fun shooting at the targets from further distances but it needs more . How about baloons on the target that have to be popped in order to score points . The targets move in later stages but almost so slow that it isn't any more challenging than if they are still targets .
FRISBEE : Both the toss game where you pop baloons and land on a target and the frisbee golf are good . I found that after playing frisbee golf this is one of the standout games if not THE standout game of the bunch . You play on regular golf courses and there are situations where trees are in the way and you can toss the frisbee in a forced curve to go around the trees . This is much easier and translates better then trying to do this using a golf club . Just tilt the frisbee like would do on a real one and toss away . It's really something to see the frisbee curve ( and I mean curve ) around a group of trees and move up the course to make par .
BICYCLING : Very good game . More fun than I thought and quite challenging . This is one game that is just plain fun to cycle around the Island on a rather long course . It gives everone a fair chance to win even if they get behind . I lost to a complete newbee even after being in first place because my character got exhausted towards the end and when he stopped ( as it will do automatically ) I was passed by several bikes to lose the race . The drafting behind other bicyclists to conserve energy works well . This is a great party game .
TABLE TENNIS : I love playing table tennis ( ping-pong ) on a real table and must say that the game translates well on the wii sports resort . The games are short but always exciting . I love that you can actually put top spin on the ball by flicking the wiimote just as you hit the ball and it translates well on the game as the ball goes to your oppononent with an actually spin that is more difficult to return . The only thing I couldn't get the ball to do was to lob in the air . Not sure why but I'll keep at it . It seems that lobbing the ball so it arcs up in the air just translates as a regular hit and the ball goes just above the net . Placing the ball where you want it to doesn't work so well either . It works but could you a little polishing .
CANOEING : This is where the games get weak . I don't see this one played much because it's too difficult to control . You will constantly run into the side barriers because the controls don't track well on this game . Often times when you paddle on the left , the character on screen paddles to the right and wham ! you're into the side barrier . Not much fun unless the courses were more open and more varied . The instructions say to paddle wide to get more power in your paddle but that didn't seem to make much of a difference .
AIRPLANE : This is the most disappointing . This game had the greatest potential for being fun but unfortunately it comes up short . The biggest problem is that you spend most of your time trying to find the other player in the dog-fight episode and without a radar you cannot find them that easily and spend most of your time just flying around . The controls on the game respond well and it is fun to fly around the island . Better than other flight games I've owned on other platforms but without much to do it gets old real fast . I'm really disappointed in the airplane because of it's lost potential . Maybe they'll come out with a game that has both players flying through an obstacle course to see can control the plane the best . The dog-fighting just didn't cut it without a radar and even with it , it needs help .

Wii Sports Resort ( Video Game )
I recently purchased Wii Sports Resort along with the included Wii Motion Plus , and it has been an excellent game so far . Included are 12 games , 10 of which are new and two of which are updates to the classic Wii Sports games - golf and bowling .
Starting with the updates , I feel that Wii Motion Plus adds a lot to the gameplay for the golf game . More sensitive controls make it far more challenging endeavor , adding somewhat to the realism of the game . Also , I find that it is a lot more enjoyable to swing the club in this game than it was in the original . In bowling , it is much easier to add a spin to the ball . Of the additions , I would say that archery and swordplay are standouts , and I wouldn't be surprised if they make it into other Nintendo releases ( i.e . Zelda ) . The game captures the illusion of actually playing with swords or a bow-and-arrow really well . I also really enjoyed most of the water sports , especially power cruising , which reminded me of Wave Race . Some of the sports , on the other hand , are less satisfying , such as cycling , since pedaling with your arms does not feel natural .
The Wii has seen a lot of waggle-fests released , and the nice thing about including Wii Motion Plus is that it really improves the motion-sensing fidelity of the Wiimote . I hope more games use this accessory in the future . For some of the multiplayer events , you may need to purchase additional copies of Wii Motion Plus ( or get it bundled with another game ) , while others simply allow you to pass one Wii remote around . The graphics of the game are simple and colorful , and the game features nice water effects .
However , here are a few aspects of the game that I wish were better . Although this game has more depth than the original Wii Sports , with more games , multiple game play modes , and achievements , I still wish that there was some additional depth to some of the games ( i.e . more courses , objectives , etc . ) , especially considering how enjoyable some of the activities are . Some people found that the original Wii Sports did not have sufficient depth , and those individuals may be disappointed . Also , it would have been nice to have online play for this game , since the game really seems to shine in multiplayer , and it is not always easy to find others to play .
Overall , I think that most people who enjoyed Wii Sports will similarly enjoy Wii Sports Resort .

Wii Sports Resort ( Video Game )
Wii Sports Resort , which was released in stores this past Sunday , 7 / 26 , is a delightful spin on the Wii Sports favorite . There are 12 fun activities in this game and it comes with the special attachment , Wii Motion Plus , which you snap into the bottom of the Wii-mote for a better playing experience .
The Wii Motion Plus sensor is better at picking up your subtlest movements than the Wii-mote by itself . This makes for less frustration and easier game-play . With longer use though , the Wii Motion Plus sensor may lose calibration and won't be as sensitive to your movements . There is an easy fix , though . All you have to do is pause the game and set your Wii-mote down on a flat surface for it to re-calibrate . This shouldn't take much longer than five seconds to right itself . The more sensitive sensor works great in games like Bowling , ( which is back in this game in an updated version ) , because you can get a better spin on your throw . However , it can also work against you in games like Golf , ( which is also back and updated ) , since you actually have to swing straight and even , like a real golf club , or you will have a serious angle to your strike . No more flicks of the wrist in this golf game !
The game opens with an adorable , interactive sky-diving movie where you meet up with all of your past Miis . Once you get to the main menu , you will see the plethora of games that lie before you , however not everything is unlocked yet . You have to earn certain scores to unlock different modes of certain games . This is akin to Wii Sports ' Training section , where each sport had three different modes you could try out . Below is a brief synopsis of the mini-games included in Wii Sports Resort .
Cycling - - this can get a bit frustrating in two person mode . Both of you have to try to pedal in unison to keep your energy up and depending on which way you tilt the Wii-mote depends on which way your wheels will turn . So you really have to make an effort to work together ! But it can be hysterical when you don't !
Sky-Diving - - this is really cute . You have to try to link up with as many people as possible . The minute you link up with someone , the shutter on a camera will start timing you for a picture . Every person you hook up with re-sets the camera's shutter . Once you hook up with four people , it's considered perfect , and the camera will take your picture . You have to make sure that everyone's faces are looking at the camera for maximum points . After a few rounds of this , it will conclude with you trying to hook up with everyone in the air for a huge finish .
Basketball - - the initial game is a basic dunking game , trying to see how many balls you can dunk before the timer runs out . Once you have reached a certain score , you will unlock a 3 on 3 pick-up game , which is a lot of fun . You can jump up in the air and block people's shots as well as steal the ball away from the other team .
Canoeing - - this one seemed to be the hardest of the mini-games , especially in two-player mode . Like cycling , this relies heavily on both of you moving in sync to get as far as you can in the canoe course .
Waverunning - - in this game , you are on a jet ski and your points are calculated by the stylish jumps you can do .
Frisbee - - there are two exciting versions of Frisbee . The first one you get to play with a very cute dog . You throw the Frisbee as close as you can to the center of the bulls-eye and where the dog catches it determines where it lands . This gets increasingly challenging , as you later on have to pop a balloon and try to hit the bulls-eye for maximum points . After you reach a certain score in this game , you will unlock Frisbee Golf , which is a ton of fun . You have a choice of three Frisbees designed like golf clubs and you play Frisbee within the rules of Golf .
Swordplay - - this is great fun . The game plays like the tv show American Gladiators in that you have to knock your opponent off of the board to win . Later on , you can unlock other games like a one-player mode where you try to hit as many people as you can , forming as high of a combination as you can , without getting hit three times . This is a great game for getting out aggression and would be surreal with a light saber attachment .
Archery - - the fun of this mini-game lies in its challenge . Not only do the targets get further and further away , but you have to work with the wind mileage also , ( like in Golf ) .
There is so much to do in this game , yours truly hasn't even unlocked everything yet and I've owned the game for two days ! This is definitely an improvement on Wii Sports , if even for the Wii Motion Plus alone . There is much more of a challenge in this game , since you aren't handed everything from the beginning and you have to unlock most of the modes . There are so many things to do in this game , it is guaranteed to please . Even the old favorites of Golf and Bowling have been made more interesting . The 100 - pin mode that you had to build up to in Wii Sports is a 10 - frame game in this version . And Golf includes the classic boards from Wii Sports , or you can play on the newly designed Wii Sports Resort green ! Bottom line , if you enjoyed Wii Sports , you should definitely consider picking this up .

Wii Sports Resort ( Video Game )
I love Wii games .
I love Wii fitness games .
Granted , no one is saying this is a fitness game . . . you will want it because its FUN but . . .
While this is most assuredly tops in player fun , even if you are as thin as you ever wanna be and don't count a single calorie and don't buy it for anything but to have fun . . . but if you happen to be like the majority of Americans you are gonna get one great unexpected bonus to really fun play : BIG calorie burn . Whether you want to or not your body will MOVE and that makes it all the more fun anyway ! You are totally engrossed in play !
I wear a bodybugg to accurately measure my daily calorie burn . I mention this only because my statement isn't an assumption or that it felt like my heart rate was up . . . I wasn't even thinking of it as a workout the first time I played . But I played my first few games for 30 minutes , looked down at my wrist display . . . and I'd burned as much as I do with my workout dvds ! ! But I didn't care . . . I wasn't playing it for that . . . this game is GRAND ! In fact , I wouldn't have stopped so soon had it not been hijacked by my honey . I took it back over as soon as I could and , with the other games , got the same results . Big fun . Big caloric burn . It's truly two in one . We've both laughed and wooo hoooed ! and had a blast with the games . This one doesnt feel rushed in the designers planning and putting it together . . . there are not only tons of games ( you unlock more as you improve ) but they are so full of action and stimulus that it will fast become a favorite in any Wii collection , no doubt .
First , you'll begin to see the wonder of the Wii motionplus as you are dropped into the island via parachute . . . start playing with the controller right then and you'll witness the difference in it truly tracking your movement in supreme accuracy and time over the old remote . The cost of the Wii motionplus isnt ' cheap so for it to be included in the game is a bonus because , to me , the game alone was worth the price . You know how , before the motionplus , you'd wanna yell at the tv Hey ! that's now what I was doing ! when you did one move but your mii did another ? The motionplus will morph true time and reality with what you are actually doing with the remote . I've been blown away in all games in which I've tried it .
Then pick one of the many games offered for fun play on your island vacation adventure here . The detail and accuracy of every one of this could bear witness to too long of a review if I went into each one but they can't go without mention . . . for example , you won't just wakeboard through the ocean , you'll pass cruise liners and hear the passengers aboard cheer for you if you do a smooth jump as you pass by , you'll pass by islands , see birds and hear them and the waves will crash around you in both sound and visual . You'll see the Wii blimp fly by . . . so the accuracy of visual game play surrounds you while the game takes you in by feeling as though you really are behind a boat and seeing that what you do with your remote as your wakeboard handle changes the game play . . . do jumps in the air , try to land smoothly , become a wakeboard God . . .
. . . but here's the thing . . . for those who care . . . while you don't realize it , you are getting your heart rate up and doing ab moves ! The same moves I used to jump the wakes twisting my arms and body are the same I do in my core workouts ! You just don't even think about it much until you watch someone else do it and see what you've burned !
Wanna play basketball ? Twisting your body to bend down , grab a ball and then throw it through the hoop gets your same ab moves workin and your arms moving for great cardio . But few would even notice that . BUT IS IT FUN ? HECK YEAH ! I don't care if you don't care at all about fitness every game is so detailed in all you can do , unlock , and accuracy with the motionplus that it's just filled with visual and physical and mental stimulus that makes it way beyond addictive for this household ! Unexpectedly though . . . you may just wind up with some MUSCLE .
Wanna swordfight ? You'll burn calories like upper body kickboxing moves but you'll have a blast knocking your opponent off a platform , hearing drum beats , the roar of the crowd then slicing through other objects with your sword in other games .
The crowd is so in tuned to what you do in every game that you'll even hear them count for you sometimes when numbers matter . This doesn't sound canned . . . YOU FEEL like you have a live audience .
The graphics stand out throughout the game to bring each game to life . . . take bowling , for example , you see the sheen on the polished wooden floor and wood grain and feel like you are truly in a real bowling alley within your livingroom because of the sound and graphics and accurate movement to bowling . The camera pans in as your ball moves , and their is always color , movement , and crowd noise through each game . .
. . even more than crowd cheering , there are visual clues in the games as well . Such as when , in basketball , you break your record , fireworks explode before you . Unlock the full out basketball game and you may even smack your face on the court when you fall .
After every game you'll see how you did and your results or awards .
this is made to be a game but beats the heck out of any of the other Wii fitness games on the market because you just have so much fun and expend an incredible amount of energy doing it just is a side bonus you don't even think about whereas the others are fitness with a little bit of fun as a side bonus . . . this just feels like PLAY .
Take cycling , you'll furiously move your hands up and down but feel competitive to beat the other bikers , hear your pedals and gears , ride over rocks but through mountains and water and trees then hit the city and see patio cafes and hear the wind and take sips from your water bottle . it's amazing all that goes on while you just play ! Petal too hard ? Your head turns red and starts throbbing ! So much going on in every game . . .
We have been playing non-stop and have yet to have found a game we could deem unfun . I kid you not .
I always try to end every review with a negative . I feel no product is perfect . For the game , I wracked my brain and couldn't come up with one so I'll add that I wish it had a second motionplus . you don't want to play it without it and if you have someone else in your house watching you play this game , they will no doubt hijack it within minutes or whine a whole bunch . ( UPDATE : At the time of my review , they had no game that came with 2 motionplus ' . I recently saw one in a store that had 2 motionplus attachments inside the game so they are out there if needed .

I love Wii games .
I love Wii fitness games .
Granted , no one is saying this is a fitness game . . . you will want it because its FUN but . . .
While this is most assuredly tops in player fun , even if you are as thin as you ever wanna be and don't count a single calorie and don't buy it for anything but to have fun . . . but if you happen to be like the majority of Americans you are gonna get one great unexpected bonus to really fun play : BIG calorie burn . Whether you want to or not your body will MOVE and that makes it all the more fun anyway ! You are totally engrossed in play !
I wear a bodybugg to accurately measure my daily calorie burn . I mention this only because my statement isn't an assumption or that it felt like my heart rate was up . . . I wasn't even thinking of it as a workout the first time I played . But I played my first few games for 30 minutes , looked down at my wrist display . . . and I'd burned as much as I do with my workout dvds ! ! But I didn't care . . . I wasn't playing it for that . . . this game is GRAND ! In fact , I wouldn't have stopped so soon had it not been hijacked by my honey . I took it back over as soon as I could and , with the other games , got the same results . Big fun . Big caloric burn . It's truly two in one . We've both laughed and wooo hoooed ! and had a blast with the games . This one doesnt feel rushed in the designers planning and putting it together . . . there are not only tons of games ( you unlock more as you improve ) but they are so full of action and stimulus that it will fast become a favorite in any Wii collection , no doubt .
First , you'll begin to see the wonder of the Wii motionplus as you are dropped into the island via parachute . . . start playing with the controller right then and you'll witness the difference in it truly tracking your movement in supreme accuracy and time over the old remote . The cost of the Wii motionplus isnt ' cheap so for it to be included in the game is a bonus because , to me , the game alone was worth the price . You know how , before the motionplus , you'd wanna yell at the tv Hey ! that's now what I was doing ! when you did one move but your mii did another ? The motionplus will morph true time and reality with what you are actually doing with the remote . I've been blown away in all games in which I've tried it .
Then pick one of the many games offered for fun play on your island vacation adventure here . The detail and accuracy of every one of this could bear witness to too long of a review if I went into each one but they can't go without mention . . . for example , you won't just wakeboard through the ocean , you'll pass cruise liners and hear the passengers aboard cheer for you if you do a smooth jump as you pass by , you'll pass by islands , see birds and hear them and the waves will crash around you in both sound and visual . You'll see the Wii blimp fly by . . . so the accuracy of visual game play surrounds you while the game takes you in by feeling as though you really are behind a boat and seeing that what you do with your remote as your wakeboard handle changes the game play . . . do jumps in the air , try to land smoothly , become a wakeboard God . . .
. . . but here's the thing . . . for those who care . . . while you don't realize it , you are getting your heart rate up and doing ab moves ! The same moves I used to jump the wakes twisting my arms and body are the same I do in my core workouts ! You just don't even think about it much until you watch someone else do it and see what you've burned !
Wanna play basketball ? Twisting your body to bend down , grab a ball and then throw it through the hoop gets your same ab moves workin and your arms moving for great cardio . But few would even notice that . BUT IS IT FUN ? HECK YEAH ! I don't care if you don't care at all about fitness every game is so detailed in all you can do , unlock , and accuracy with the motionplus that it's just filled with visual and physical and mental stimulus that makes it way beyond addictive for this household ! Unexpectedly though . . . you may just wind up with some MUSCLE .

Wii Sports Resort ( Video Game )
Overall this game is definately worth it . I would have payed the full 50 dollars if it was sold alone , but the addition of the Motion Plus is a great deal . You can use it with other games that are already out such as Tiger Woods , or for upcoming games like Red Steel 2 and possibly the next Zelda . Let me give you a reveiw of each game .
Swordfighting - This activity is easily the best . The controls are great and you actually have to use stragey to beat your opponents , something that was unheard of in the first version . You press B to block . When you block your opponents swings , that gives you an oppurtunity to strike . It's very realistic and fun . There is also speed slice mode and showdown mode . Speed slice is when you have to slice things a certain way before your opponent . It got very intense . Showdown is when you fight through an army of Miis . It's fun getting combos .
Wakeboarding - This is one of my favorites as well . Catching big air and landing tricks was a blast . The controls were very responsive . At first it is simple , but once you unlock the harder difficulties it becomes more complex . You have to dodge obstacles and stuff .
Frisbee - This looks simple , but it was pretty hard.I could never get the frisbee to go where I wanted it too , even after going through the tutorial multiple times . I'm even good at frisbee in real life . There's a large learning curve to this game . There's also frisbee golf .
Archery - This was surprisingly a great game . It is slow paced , but it showed just how precise the Motion Plus can be . I love the feeling of accomplishment I get when I almost get a bull's eye . It requires focus and is a fun challenge . The controls are really tight .
Basketball - One of my least favorites . As a basketball fan , it was dissapointing . You can do the 3 - pt shoot out which wasn't really fun , but I was surprised at how realistic my shooting motion had to be . The pick up 3 on 3 halfcourt games weren't terrible but were very slow paced and boring .
Table Tennis - This is just like the original Wii Sports Tennis , except on a table . The controls worked well for the most part , but it was sometimes frusturating when the motion plus didn't register that I switched hands . That only happened occasionally though and the game is still fun .
Golf - You get a new course plus the original course , and improved controls . I thought it made hitting from far away harder but putting a lot easier . It picks up every little curve you make , so hitting a nice shot with your driver is difficult . I didn't think this game had to be remade .
Bowling - I really did not see the point of doing this over . It is easier to put spin on the ball but other than that there was no change from the regular Wii Sports . There is also 100 pin mode and Spin Control mode . This game is still fun with friends like in the original Wii Sports .
Power Cruising - This was kind of dissapointing . You go through a bunch of rings to the finish line . It got boring and repetitive . I guess it was still enjoyable but I won't be coming back to it very often . I felt the controls did not take advantage of the Wii Motion Plus .
Canoeing - This was a surprise hit . I never expected canoeing to be this much fun . You have to go through the obstacle course in the pond and get to the goal . It was a challenge in the upper difficulties but was still really fun .
Cycling - This definately isn't one of the best sports , but it isn't as bad as everyone says . You pedal by moving the wii remote and nunchuk like you're pedaling , and tilt it to turn . It was very realistic because you can catch tailwind , run out of energy , sprint , and all that fancy stuff . I found it enjoyable , and it was very competitive . The problem is since it's so realistic , you might as well just go out on your real bike . It's a better workout , more fun , and is the same thing .
Air Sports - Island flyover is one of my favorites . You fly over beautiful Wuhu Island and find points of interest . It sounds boring , but it was very relaxing and pleasant . Wuhu Island has a ton of neat stuff . Skydiving also falls into this category , but it is the worst sport . Dogfighting is also in this , but I haven't tried it yet since it's multiplayer only .
Ok , almost done . Here are the pros and cons :
+ Great Variety
+ Sport for everyone
+ Tight controls
+ 12 sports
+ comes with Wii Motion Plus
+ Most of the sports are fun
+ Game is deeper than original with unlockables , difficulties and stamps ( much like Xbox 360 achievements )
+ Great with friends
- Poor , poor graphics
- limited multiplayer ( why can't I do multiplayer sky diving ? more co-op options would be nice as well )
- It's annoying how you have to go through so many reminders and have to calibrate the Motion plus a lot
- Sports have a learning curve , so isn't as much of a pick up and play game
Definately worth it for both hardcore and casual players .
EDIT : Well I've had the game for a little over a week now , and I have to say my impression hasn't really changed . The only problem is , I haven't played it very much . I usually play games I just got a lot more than this . I still reccomend it , but not if you have friends over to play rarely . Multi player is what makes the game shine .

I picked this game up this morning at game crazy and im going to have to say its one of the funnest games ive played for the nintendo wii ! Its just as amazing as Wii sports if you enjoyed that and theres more games to enjoy !
A list of the different games :
Wake boarding
Archery
Frisby
Bowling
jet skiing
Basketball
Cycling
Canoeing
Parachuting
Sword fighting - My favorite
Ping Pong
and golf !
Most of the games have unlockable extras like frisby starts with you throwing to a dog then it unlocks frisby golf . I haven't tried most of the extra's yet but im sure there just as fun ! . Most games either have 2 extra games that are unlockable or different difficulty levels such as Beginner , Intermediate , and Pro .
If you liked the original Wii sports try this it was loads of fun 5 stars !

Wii Sports Resort ( Video Game )
I bought two copies - - one for my mother for her birthday and one for my family . All of us ( 5 adults , 3 kids ) love it ! My 80 + old grandmother loves the bowling game . My parents , both in their 60s , love several of the games and are still exploring all of the offerings on the disc . My husband , a good friend and I have played it every night since we bought it . Our group of three loves to play the sword duels , archery , frisbee dog , frisbee golf , and dog ( plane ) fights . My husband and I currently find ourselves strangely addicted to the island flyover game . That's where you fly a little prop plane ( a cessna ? ) all over the islands looking for i points or shooting balloons . It is so peaceful and yet it compells you to keep looking until you have found all the hidden items . What I like about Wii Resort more than Wii Sports ( and I love that game too ) is that it adds a layer of competition and re-playability with the addition of stamps . When you accomplish certain feats within the game ( you may think of them as side quests ) , then you may earn a stamp . Some stamps are more difficult than others to earn . For example , in bowling , you can earn a stamp by picking up a certain type of split . Another stamp requires you to bowl a perfect game to earn it ( my father-in-law has done it ) . Earning stamps has been a fun addition for us .
We are still exploring other games . Some are definitely more fun than others . I'm sure that there will be one or two games that we won't like at all ( I'm thinking specifically about water boarding here ) . However , the archery , frisbee and flight games are worth the price of the game alone . Bowling is always fun , plus there's ping pong and golf . More than enough to love and balance out any stinkers .
Motion Plus Note : This game comes with one Motion Plus . You must have a Motion Plus to play , a regular remote won't work . Some games allow multiple players to share a single remote , so you don't have to buy a second ( or third or fourth ) Motion Plus right away . However , there are some games that can only be played by two or more people at the same time and you must have a Motion Plus for each player . There are three regular players in my house and we played happily for a week with only one Motion Plus . Now we play with two and I don't see an immediate need to get any more .
In short , I think the Wii system has succeeded in doing exactly what it set out to do - - to make gaming fun for everyone and to bring people together and get them off the couch . Wii Resort is the perfect example of that success .

Earning stamps has been a fun addition for us .
We are still exploring other games . Some are definitely more fun than others . I'm sure that there will be one or two games that we won't like at all ( I'm thinking specifically about water boarding here ) . However , the archery , frisbee and flight games are worth the price of the game alone . Bowling is always fun , plus there's ping pong and golf . More than enough to love and balance out any stinkers .
Motion Plus Note : This game comes with one Motion Plus . You must have a Motion Plus to play , a regular remote won't work . Some games allow multiple players to share a single remote , so you don't have to buy a second ( or third or fourth ) Motion Plus right away . However , there are some games that can only be played by two or more people at the same time and you must have a Motion Plus for each player . There are three regular players in my house and we played happily for a week with only one Motion Plus . Now we play with two and I don't see an immediate need to get any more .
In short , I think the Wii system has succeeded in doing exactly what it set out to do - - to make gaming fun for everyone and to bring people together and get them off the couch . Wii Resort is the perfect example of that success .

Having only played this game for a day now , I can tell you my entire family is having a blast with it , just as we did when the Wii first launched . There is a more robust selection of 12 sports , from things like sword fighting and table tennis , to water and air sports , and even revamped favorites like golf and bowling . Only a few games since launch have garnered as much positive reaction from game fans of all ages as the Wii Sports franchise , mostly due to the universal appeal of real life sports games .
The second high point of this title is the bump in graphics , mostly gone are the jaggies that plagued the launch titles for the Wii , and these are on par with the system's best like Super Mario Galaxy and Metroid Prime 3 . Effects such as waves , splashes of water , air currents , and even lighting and human interaction look better than ever , and the vivid colors really take the 480p resolution of the Wii to its limits .
Of course , no review of this game would be complete without mentioning its biggest leap forward , Wii Motion Plus . This simple looking attachment is really a tiny gyroscope that rotates inside its shell for full 360 degrees of detection , for true 1 : 1 motion controls ( or as close as this system will get ) . It provides so much more control , while adding barely anything to its length , and for those opposed to the Wii condom included with every remote now , yes , the attachment is removable , and even fits over the 3rd party covers my friends and family have been using since system launch . I can only look forward with anticipation to the next generation of titles to come in the following years , as they will be a big leap forward for Nintendo fans , and WM + keeps this system in line with motion controls being developed by the other two big console manufacturers .
Overall , if you are a hardcore , or even casual Wii fan , do not hesitate to pick up Wii Sports Resort . It is the finest game released on disc for this system in 2009 , and will appeal to game fans of all ages and genders . A true resort experience for the entire family .

Off the top I must admit I am paralyzed from the chest down and use a wheelchair for mobility . So I'm looking for Wii games that are fun , competitive and get your heart rate up without requiring happy feet . I had high hopes for Wii Fit but they were dashed . Wii Resort , however , has been GREAT . I can Sword Play with my granddaughter . Kayaking has given me an ab workout that is almost impossible to find in a way that's fun . Both cycling and wave-running are real challenges for me .
Now I realize that an endorsement from a grandma in a wheelchair is like the kiss of death for a video game , but the fact that I'm competitive with my son , the granddaughters and my husband lets me play with my family again . In fact , I catch them practicing when I'm not there so Noni doesn't beat them .
It's hard to imagine that there are many other games that suit players from 8 to 80 , give everyone a workout and are even fun for the spectators . My family has threatened to charge admission to my Wii boxing ( from the original Wii Sports ) and Wii Kayaking rounds .
You'd be nuts not to add this one to your Wii collection ! !

I wasn't sure what to think before I bought the game , but it was well worth it . WM + works as promised , although not all of the games take full advantage of it , IMO . There is a much wider variety of games than in the original , and each has a few sub-games that make it entertaining . The graphics are on par / slightly better than the first
My favorites thus far :
- Sword fighting ( what's better than bashing your friend 100 feet of a platform and watching them fall to the depths below ? )
- Basketball ( Simple controls , but something that was definitely missing from the first game )
- The WM + controller ( I know it's included in the price , but the game is so full it's like it's free )
- Air Sports ( Simple dog fighting and games reminiscent of Pilotwings )
The negatives :
- Disc throw ( ridiculously hard , but I guess that just makes it challenging )
- The return of Bowling ( Bowling really didn't need to be redesigned and Baseball or Tennis would have been better )
- Golf ( I can't seem to grasp the news controls at all , the swing goes back when I go foward , I find this game impossible to play . Maybe I am just to spoiled by Tiger Woods 10 )
- No online play ( easily the biggest let down of the game , and the reason I gave it 4 stars )
Final verdict : A must-have for every Wii owner , especially anyone who loves playing with their friends

We have 10 grandchildren . I never played a video game in my life . I am an old retired doc who was ' married to medicine . I got a WII and now have 4 of all the different kinds of remotes and @ 6 - 7 games . I play it which for an old curmudgeon like me is something special . The best was last night when we had 4 little ones playing at once . My wife and I watched them and were so happy we almost cried . We have a 58 inch plasma TV and even though it is not HD we could give a hoot as everything is so cool . My advice is for all grandparents to get one of these and especially this game and get prepared to have the best times .

So this game is awesome ! Theres 12 different sports / games on Wii Sports Resort but unlike original Wii Sports so have alot of choices once you chose the sport you want to play , example : I want to play Swordplay , I can choose Duel , Speed Slice , or Showdown . Other ones have different choices , some have Beginner , Intermediate , etc . It keeps it from getting boring since you have so many choices . Now I'll talk alittle about the different games .
Swordplay : When I looked at the games that would be on Wii Sports Resort I thought that Swordplay would be a stupid game but really I love it ! It's fun and pretty easy . You can do Duel which is just against one other person but theres also Speed Slice where you have to slice all kind of different items certain ways and faster than your opponent .
Wakeboarding : This is just water-skiing . It's pretty fun and I don't really know what to say about it .
Frisbee : This one is fun , you have to start out to just throwing the frisbee to a dog ( theres like a target area you have to throw within for the dog to catch it ) . But , even better is Frisbee Golf . Its like golf but with the frisbee and its fun . And its just like real frisbee because you do it just like your throwing a real frisbee .
Archery : At first I had a hard time doing this one , but now I'm doing alot better and its more fun than I originally thought . Its just like real archery . . . thats all I have to say .
Basketball : I think this ones hard so I haven't really done much with it yet .
Table Tennis : I like this one alot too , its almost just like tennis from original Wii Sports but of course its on a ping-pong table .
Golf : This is kind of an upgrade of the original Wii Sports golf . You have to make sure you swing straight . But I think its easier than the original .
Bowling : This is also an upgrade of the original Wii Sports bowling . I think its harder so I think I'll stick with the original .
Power Cruising : This is just jet-skiing . You have to do the slalom , which is fun . You need 2 people to do a race though , which I wish the computer could just be the opponent but it doesn't let that happen .
Canoeing : When I first saw this game I knew I really wanted to try this one . It took me alittle bit to get the hang of it but after I that I loved it .
Cycling : This ones alot of fun too , you have all kinds of places you can race around .
Air Sports : In this one there is Skydiving which you just sky dive but you have to link up with other players and after a certain amount of time it takes a pictures , you get a better score for the more people you have in the picture and if you can see your smile . You can also drive a plane around .
Thats the 12 games . Now the Wii Motion Plus really REALLY makes a difference . Theres so many little thing it detects and it makes the game so much more fun . . . alot of this games wouldn't be as fun without it !

I picked this game up today , and so far , I really like it ! I normally don't write a review so quickly , but this game will only get better and better . Certainly worth every penny .
A lot like Wii Sports in the graphics , sound and overall feel . The graphics are better , and more fun the the original . You'll hear the same voices , you'll get points to get to Pro level , and your other Mii's will show up in the background , just like in the original . You get basic games , as well as unlocking alternate versions of the games . For example , after you play bowling , you'll unlock 100 pin bowling . Other fun extras include being able to choose from a few different golf courses .
I was disappointed at first to see bowling and golf , why repeat those games ? Once you play it with the new motion control , you'll see why . I'll never play Wii Sport golf again . It's so much more responsive , especially in putting . Same with bowling , making it a MUCH more challenging game ! ! I think people will love the updated versions .
I honestly thought the Motion control was just a new marketing trick to sell more accessories , but it truly does make a difference . If you've ever played Wii Play table tennis , it pales in comparison to the Wii Sports version . It's much more fun , it's much more accurate in movement . The motion control detects not only left to right , top to bottom , but inward and outward . Giving it a more realistic feel .
I've also played a lot with the sword play games , archery , frisbee , table tennis , and wakeboard . All very fun ! I played for over an hour , and only played half the games . I think it has some good replay value . Not something you'll get tired of in a month . I already can't wait to get back to it !
My only complaint so far is basketball , a game that I'm terrible at in real life . That tells you just how accurate this new motion control is ! haha With some practice it will be a lot of fun too , I'm sure . As with any game , there will games you enjoy less then others , but with so many to pick from , it's sure to please a variety of Wii fans .
You'll certainly have to retrain yourself in the way you play Wii , but once you get the hang of it , you'll be addicted ! Many times , sequels just can't come close to the original , but I do think Wii Sports Resort is the exception .

I'd give this game a 3.5 if I had the option . Most of the games on here are fun , with the exception of wakeboarding , and golf . I think cycling is lame too , but my almost 4 year old really loves it . Basketball and swordfighting are my favorite . The thing is , the games quickly get boring , especially if you are playing by yourself . I'm not sure why that is , perhaps they need more depth , better graphics etc . Still , its a solid set of mini games , and great for kids or for several people to play at once ( though you'd need more motion plus / controllers ) . My almost 4 year old can play about half of them , and I imagine a five or 6 year old would be able to play them all .
The motion plus does help with accuracy though I feel like there is room for improvement .

Wii Sports Resort ( Video Game )
This is a great sequel to Wii Sports , but it isn't perfect . Some of the games are really excellent , the MotionPlus is good technology , but some of the games suffer from lack of Wii Balance Board compatibility , and so much of the game is aimed at multiplayer that you'll need to buy a second MotionPlus addon to really get the full game experience . Finally , while many of these games are lots of fun , as exercise they're not quite to the same level that Wii Sports was , a little less physically demanding , and if you're seeking a workout you'll have to work harder to get one here than you did in the original .
Swordplay : This is the best showcase of the Wii Motion Plus , and is probably the best mix of exercise and gameplay out of all the minigames . At the higher levels , there's a real sense of blocking and striking , you need to look for your opponent's openings and keep yourself guarded , and it achieves a real , natural sense of engaging in sport kendo swordplay . It's fun and engaging and you can play it for hours if you're so inclined . The Mystery Swing problem so present in Wii Boxing - - the sense that what you were doing with the controller bore only a vague relationship to what was happening in the game - - is completely gone ; with the Wii Motion Plus , the sword follows your movements exactly and naturally , and you can execute precise swings at specific targets and from specific angles ( in fact , you have to , at the higher competitive levels ) .
The problem is that it just isn't as challenging a workout as Wii Boxing was . A half hour of wii boxing at Pro level would leave me in a sweat . A half hour of Wii Swordplay at the same level leaves me , well , maybe with stretched wrists . I had to get up into the 1500 skill range for the game to be challenging enough to count as excercise .
All in all , great , exciting game , probably the star of the collection , but not as good a workout as Wii Boxing was in the original Wii Sports .
There are two additional swordplay games besides the primary dueling mode , Speed Slice and Showdown . Speed Slice is a fun reaction time test but not much more than that . Showdown is the closest thing in here to a standard video game - - swarms of Mii Ninjas come at you and you have to cut them up while taking no more than three hits yourself .
Wakeboarding : In this one , you swoop back and forth across the wake of a speedboat , riding a tethered board , and gain points for jumps and airtime . This game might be fun if you can master the controls , but holding the wii remote perfectly level enough so that I could land flat every time is a trick I have yet to master , probably because I spent the whole time I was playing this aggravated that I couldn't use the Wii Balance Board with it . I suppose they wanted to showcase Wii Motion Plus in every way possible , but this game would be a natural for the Wii Balance Board and the failure to include compatibility for it is a major , major flaw .
Frisbee : The frisbee games are entertaining and take good advantage of Wii Motion Plus technology . The first is throwing a frisbee along a beach to a dog ; the second is Frisbee Golf . In both , the game pays pretty close attention to your wrist angle , and pretty naturally simulates throwing a frisbee - - I'm bad at throwing a frisbee and I'm bad at this game too , for the same reasons !
Archery : This may be the best game of skill on here . I was tempted to tape my wii controller and nunchuk to an old bow I have lying around , though , just to add a little physical exercise to the gameplay .
Basketball : This is amusing , and gives a decent jumping workout . Like a lot of the other games on here , this is probably better as a multiplayer game than played by just one person . There's a timed free-throw game and a three-on-three ( the three on three game allows only two players ) .
Table Tennis : Ping-Pong on the beach . OK , this one is fun . The addition of WiiMotionPlus technology takes out almost all of the frustration of Wii Sports Tennis - - this is one of the real improvements of this version , and playing it quickly becomes very , very natural . I somewhat wish they'd had a tennis game instead of this , because I found myself leaping around the room less as I played this - - it feels so natural that you feel like you're playing on a small table , so there's a little less cardio work involved . But , still , lots of fun , and a very ' natural effect - - great use of the MotionPlus technology .
Golf : I've always hated Golf games , including the original Wii Sports golf , because they felt unnatural and weird and I could never get the controls to work right . All of those problems are gone in this version - - it actually feels like you're playing golf in your living room . I still don't like golf that much , but now I have to blame my own lack of skill , not the controller .
Bowling : This is pretty much exactly like Wii Sports Bowling , with more precise ball control . At first I wasn't sure if there was any difference at all , but there is once you learn or remember what you're doing . There's also a 100 - pin version , which in practice is just normal bowling with more pin-falling-over animations , and an obstacle bowling ' where little barriers slide across the lane and you have to curve the ball around them ( basically Mini Golf Bowling ) .
Power Cruising : Wii Jetski , essentially . This one , like Wakeboarding , had poor implementation of the controller . You have to hold the MotionPlus controller in an unnatural , awkward way . The gameplay itself is fun , but I again feel that the failure to include Wii Balance Board compatibility for this game was a major , major flaw - - the gameplay on this one is fun if you can get past the controller , and balance board functionality would've removed that problem .
Canoeing : Paddling a canoe as fast as you can . Surprisingly to me at least , this one may be the best cardio workout of all the Sports Resort games . It's fun , but challenging enough physically that you get a fair bit of excercise playing it . Up to four players here , and you can race against each other .
Cycling : I was expecting this one to be worthlessly silly but it was fairly entertaining . You wag your hands up and down to pedal . Again , not really much of a workout , and silly , but fun enough .
Air Sports : There's a free-fall game where you pose for pictures after jumping out of a plane , and a little waggle-the-controller-to-fly-a-plane thing that isn't a fitness game at all , but just flying around exploring . There is apparently a dogfight game , but it's two player ONLY , with no single player option at all . With only one MotionPlus addon , this felt like a category for minigames , not real games .

A half hour of Wii Swordplay at the same level leaves me , well , maybe with stretched wrists . I had to get up into the 1500 skill range for the game to be challenging enough to count as excercise .
All in all , great , exciting game , probably the star of the collection , but not as good a workout as Wii Boxing was in the original Wii Sports .
There are two additional swordplay games besides the primary dueling mode , Speed Slice and Showdown . Speed Slice is a fun reaction time test but not much more than that . Showdown is the closest thing in here to a standard video game - - swarms of Mii Ninjas come at you and you have to cut them up while taking no more than three hits yourself .
Wakeboarding : In this one , you swoop back and forth across the wake of a speedboat , riding a tethered board , and gain points for jumps and airtime . This game might be fun if you can master the controls , but holding the wii remote perfectly level enough so that I could land flat every time is a trick I have yet to master , probably because I spent the whole time I was playing this aggravated that I couldn't use the Wii Balance Board with it . I suppose they wanted to showcase Wii Motion Plus in every way possible , but this game would be a natural for the Wii Balance Board and the failure to include compatibility for it is a major , major flaw .
Frisbee : The frisbee games are entertaining and take good advantage of Wii Motion Plus technology . The first is throwing a frisbee along a beach to a dog ; the second is Frisbee Golf . In both , the game pays pretty close attention to your wrist angle , and pretty naturally simulates throwing a frisbee - - I'm bad at throwing a frisbee and I'm bad at this game too , for the same reasons !
Archery : This may be the best game of skill on here . I was tempted to tape my wii controller and nunchuk to an old bow I have lying around , though , just to add a little physical exercise to the gameplay .
Basketball : This is amusing , and gives a decent jumping workout . Like a lot of the other games on here , this is probably better as a multiplayer game than played by just one person . There's a timed free-throw game and a three-on-three ( the three on three game allows only two players ) .
Table Tennis : Ping-Pong on the beach . OK , this one is fun . The addition of WiiMotionPlus technology takes out almost all of the frustration of Wii Sports Tennis - - this is one of the real improvements of this version , and playing it quickly becomes very , very natural . I somewhat wish they'd had a tennis game instead of this , because I found myself leaping around the room less as I played this - - it feels so natural that you feel like you're playing on a small table , so there's a little less cardio work involved . But , still , lots of fun , and a very ' natural effect - - great use of the MotionPlus technology .
Golf : I've always hated Golf games , including the original Wii Sports golf , because they felt unnatural and weird and I could never get the controls to work right . All of those problems are gone in this version - - it actually feels like you're playing golf in your living room . I still don't like golf that much , but now I have to blame my own lack of skill , not the controller .
Bowling : This is pretty much exactly like Wii Sports Bowling , with more precise ball control . At first I wasn't sure if there was any difference at all , but there is once you learn or remember what you're doing . There's also a 100 - pin version , which in practice is just normal bowling with more pin-falling-over animations , and an obstacle bowling ' where little barriers slide across the lane and you have to curve the ball around them ( basically Mini Golf Bowling ) .
Power Cruising : Wii Jetski , essentially . This one , like Wakeboarding , had poor implementation of the controller . You have to hold the MotionPlus controller in an unnatural , awkward way . The gameplay itself is fun , but I again feel that the failure to include Wii Balance Board compatibility for this game was a major , major flaw - - the gameplay on this one is fun if you can get past the controller , and balance board functionality would've removed that problem .
Canoeing : Paddling a canoe as fast as you can . Surprisingly to me at least , this one may be the best cardio workout of all the Sports Resort games . It's fun , but challenging enough physically that you get a fair bit of excercise playing it . Up to four players here , and you can race against each other .
Cycling : I was expecting this one to be worthlessly silly but it was fairly entertaining . You wag your hands up and down to pedal . Again , not really much of a workout , and silly , but fun enough .
Air Sports : There's a free-fall game where you pose for pictures after jumping out of a plane , and a little waggle-the-controller-to-fly-a-plane thing that isn't a fitness game at all , but just flying around exploring . There is apparently a dogfight game , but it's two player ONLY , with no single player option at all . With only one MotionPlus addon , this felt like a category for minigames , not real games .
031 4 This is a great sequel to Wii Sports , but it isn't perfect . Some of the games are really excellent , the MotionPlus is good technology , but some of the games suffer from lack of Wii Balance Board compatibility , and so much of the game is aimed at multiplayer that you'll need to buy a second MotionPlus addon to really get the full game experience . Finally , while many of these games are lots of fun , as exercise they're not quite to the same level that Wii Sports was , a little less physically demanding , and if you're seeking a workout you'll have to work harder to get one here than you did in the original .
Swordplay : This is the best showcase of the Wii Motion Plus , and is probably the best mix of exercise and gameplay out of all the minigames . At the higher levels , there's a real sense of blocking and striking , you need to look for your opponent's openings and keep yourself guarded , and it achieves a real , natural sense of engaging in sport kendo swordplay . It's fun and engaging and you can play it for hours if you're so inclined . The Mystery Swing problem so present in Wii Boxing - - the sense that what you were doing with the controller bore only a vague relationship to what was happening in the game - - is completely gone ; with the Wii Motion Plus , the sword follows your movements exactly and naturally , and you can execute precise swings at specific targets and from specific angles ( in fact , you have to , at the higher competitive levels ) .

Wii Sports Resort ( Video Game )
Wii Sports Resort is a great follow up to Wii Sports !
Pros :
Level of activity - - Unlike another reviewer who said couch potatoes will love some of these games , I've found they all get you moving to some degree . Sure you can sit to do some of them if you want to but that was true of Wii Sports also . They're as active as you want to make them . You'll feel the effort on all - - even the water sports where you're using just your arms . Your arms and upper body will feel it !
Variety of games - - There is something for everyone . You'll have favorites ( mine are Wakeboarding , Table Tennis and Swordplay ) and others that you don't love as much ( I'm as bad at Basketball as I am in real life and I'm lukewarm on Power Cruising ) but there are games that will appeal to everyone in the household based on age , ability and likes . I won't list them all because other reviewers have .
Wii Motion Plus - - I have to say that for some games I don't feel the nuances . For others , however , I definitely feel the difference . In Bowling , the ball response to what you're doing with your hand and wrist is much more realistic . It makes the game even better although more challenging and adds a new dimension .
Fun even by yourself - - There are more games that are fun to play by yourself than in Wii Sports because of the nature of the games . Like Wii Sports , it tracks your level / status as you work towards Pro , etc .
Cons :
No online play - - It would have been great to be able to compete online and have tournaments and rankings like in MarioKart .
Additional Wii Motion Plus needed - - You will want a WM + for every player's remote . The good news is that some of the games allow remote sharing so this is only necessary if you want to do competitive play on certain games .
Lack of depth - - As mentioned by others , I wish some of the games had even more options or depth .
Overall :
Wii Sports Resort is a great game to have ! If you like Wii Sports then this game will be one of the classics that you pull out regularly . The only reason I rated it four stars for fun is because not all the games will be a blast for everyone .

Wii Sports Resort ( Video Game )
Much improved over the original Wii Sports , Wii Sports Resort takes Wii gaming fun to a whole new level . With 12 Events instead of 5 , you get some really fun and deep games . My personal favorite has to be the sword fighting ( kendo ? ) , which can get very intense . The controls for every game in here is obviously very well thought out , and feels quite natural . Wii motion plus absolutely added a whole dimension of accuracy to the gameplay . About the only mini-game that didn't feel like it had motion-plus accuracy was maybe bowling , but it was at least as good as the original , so not really a minus . Highly recommended for anyway who has a wii , and especially if you enjoyed the original Wii sports ( even just a little bit ) .

Wii Sports resort is the sequel to Wii Sports , and it is just as fun if not more fun . The problem is not only that there are repeat games from Wii Sports , but you are also required to have an accessory to the wiimote ( the accessory is called the Wii Motion Plus ) , and you can't play the games without it . There are 12 main sports , and there are 2 - 3 versions of that sport , so you are basically getting about 25 games . The sports included are :
Swordplay-This is the most active of the games , as you hold the wiimote as a sword and swing it at your target . You can swing any way you want such as up to down , or right to left .
Wakeboarding-This is the sport when you are on a board , and you are holding onto a rope and being pulled behind a boat . You hold the wiimote horizonatlly in this game , and you yank it up in order to do tricks on top of waves .
Archery-This is basically using a bow and arrow to hit a target . You need the nunchuk for this game . You hold the nunchuk in the right hand ( unless you are left-handed , then you hold it in the left ) , and you pull back the nunchuk , holding onto the z button . You release the z button when you want to release the arrow .
Frisbee-You hold the wiimote like you would a frisbee , and you make the motion of tossing a frisbee in the direction you want it to go . You might want to make sure you have the wrist strap on while playing this game .
Basketball-You do dribble in this game , and you can press the A button or arrow buttons in order to pass to a teammate . When shooting , you hold the B button pull back the Wiimote and throw . You can also block an opponent's shot by yanking the Wiimote up in an effort to jump up and block .
Power Cruising-This sport is basically riding a motorcycle on water . You need the nunchuk for this game , and you hold both it and the wiimote like you would hold on to handlebars . You twist the wiimote in order to accelerate .
Cycling-This is bike riding . You need the nunchuk , and you hold both it and the wiimote vertically . Then you alternate swinging them upward as if you were pedaling your bike with your hands . You have to watch your stamina , though , and don't tire out .
Golf-This is exactly the same thing for Wii Sports , only it has different greens ( different courses ) . You hold the wiimote down like a golf club and make the action of swinging it .
Table Tennis-This is much like tennis , only you are playing it on a table . You swing the wiimote in order to hit the ping-pong ball back to your opponent .
Bowling-Almost exactly like the Wii Sports verion , this game has one big difference . Like a real bowling ball , it twists dramatically with your wrist . You really have to focus on keeping the ball straight , which makes it a bit harder than the original game for Wii Sports .
Canoeing-In this game you paddle a set course by using the wiimote like you would a paddle . You paddle on the opposite side of the direction you want to go just like real canoeing .
Air Sports-These games are really easy to do , and they only require you to hold the wiimote and aim it . The sports included are skydiving , island flyover , and dogfight .
These games are really fun , but it is a huge letdown that you cannot play against others unless you buy another Wii Motion Plus accessory . Also , I do not see why they put golf , table tennis , and bowling in the game when they had them in previous games . Although it does have a few minor flaws , this is still a great game that you will love if you like Wii Sports .

Wii Sports Resort ( Video Game )
This game is flat out fun and awesome !
My wife received it as a gift for her birthday and we have not stopped playing it since . In fact , we have had over twenty people playing at a party one afternoon and night ( ages ranged from 23 to 87 ) and every loved it . ( grandma even rolled a strike her first time playing 100 - pin bowling ) . The last three days we have had friends and family come over for Wii Sports Resorts action and nobody wants to go home ! ( it's cool because we now have all our friends and family as Mii's on our console ) .
We bought an extra Wii Motion Plus so we can go head-to-head on some games but many games allow you to share one controller between 4 players ( turn based games like bowling , golf , frisbee and archery ) .
There are twelve distinct games in Wii Sports Resort and within them are several different modes . Standouts for me are :
Swordplay : Three modes ( VS , Speed Slice , and Showdown ) . . . showdown is my favorite , you face a hoard of Mii's rushing you and you have to go ' Conan ' on them .
Frisbee : Love the Frisbee Dog ( accuracy competition . . . I play a few rounds after a stressful day at work and it's very relaxing , and the challenge is tall because it's tough to keep building on your high scores )
Archery : Great fun with the nunchuck , use the remote as the Bow and the nunchuck to knock your arrow and pull back on the string . You shoot at targets at increasing range . . very challenging .
Bowling : So far I've only played 100 - Pin . . . that's bowling with 100 pins . . . how cool is that ( especially when you get a strike and knock them all down )
Air Sports : Flying and Skydiving . . . . Flying is very low key , you pilot an airplane ( solo , but there is a two-player dog-fight mode ) and are challenged to visit 80 points of interest on the island ( some require you fly through caves ' in ' the island ) . Skydiving is also low-key and fun . . . the challenge is to link up mid-air with other skydivers so you can have your photo taken , turn to face the camera to show smiling faces for more points . At the end you get to see the photos of you and all your friends from the jump .
Issues : Having read some unfavorable reviews I'd like to give you my take .
Controller calibration : For the most part we have had no serious problems , although it's true , after some time and wild play , the calibration gets a little wonky . This is easily fixed by either pointing the remote at the screen and press the D-button ( direction button at the front of the remote ) or press the ' + ' button and set the remote on a flat surface for ten seconds so the gyros can settle down .
Graphics : They are on par with many Wii games like Wii Fit , Wii Play , Wii Sports . . etc . . . The Wii is not under any circumstance going to look like a PS3 hooked to a HD TV . Could the graphics on Wii Sports Resort be more detailed , probably ( some games your Mii only has hands holding the sword or paddle but no arms ) , but as it is , they are good graphics and the game play is smooth and fast considering all the physics models programed in for each game . Personally , I'd sacrifice top-end graphics for a fun game that runs and plays smooth
I am totally satisfied and love this game as much as Mario Kart Wii ( my other favorite ) . It's tons of fun , especially with friends ( which is why I love Wii more than PS3 or XBox , much more multi-player / family oriented and shared fun is always the best in my book ) .
I think this game will be a solid addition to your library especially if you have people to enjoy it with .

Wii Sports Resort ( Video Game )
I picked up my Wii Sports Resort in the store today . The games are very enjoyable , but the only drawback is that you have to buy a motion plus accessory for any additional players . If four people want to play , all four have to have a motion plus ( according to the store manager ) . Four people can play with one remote also , but what is the fun of that ? I spent about $80 for the game and an extra motion plus , which seems kind of excessive .
The games are great , especially sword play . It seems easy at first , but as you progress , it gets harder and harder .
The motion plus does make the wiimote more sensative , but also makes the remote a little larger , which is not a big problem .
I will add more updates about the other games soon . . .

I will add more updates about the other games soon . . .

Wii Sports Resort ( Video Game )
There honestly has been absolutely no doubt about the success Nintendo has had with pushing the envelope at making high quality video games over the years . That absolutely has shown so brilliantly with the status of the Nintendo Wii , and the sales to prove it . But what has also shown well , was the launch of Wii Sports that came with the Wii , as a fantastic launch title , but also as a strong influence for the way we now play video games through the feats of Nintendo . With the gamplay of bowling , golf , baseball , boxing , and tennis , Wii Sports delivered it all . While it was a sampling game , there is a new Wii Sports game that is sure to even bring more excitement to your everyday needs .
Wii Sports Resort for the Nintendo Wii , brings in a dozen new games and the way we play them as a whole to a new generation of gamers . That goes well as you master your way through 12 exciting challenges from firing arrows and scoring bulls-eyes with archery , to shooting hoops right on the basketball court , to exciting dueling swordplay that is sure to knock your socks off . There are a few returning games from Wii Sports & Wii play that also are adding to the challenge including a updated golf course , table tennis action that is sure to please you better than it did in Wii Play , and a new bowling alley that includes newer challenges and gameplay . The graphics look great , but it is the gameplay that comes with it that takes a bit to get used to , from the new Wii MotionPlus connector that comes with the game . It is easy to connect to the bottom of your Wii-mote , and definitely adds on to your gameplay . But be very careful not to overjerk , because you could easily miss your shots if your not too cautious . But with time , you'll be able to get used to the addictive gameplay . Sadly though , I was honestly expecting more additions to the game . Nevertheless , it absolutely is fun & entertaining to play whether you are by your self while having some personal time to yourself , or with your friends and family at home .
All in all , Wii Sports Resort is definitely a must have if you're a hard core fan of what Wii Sports had brought to the plate when the Wii was launched a few years ago . I thought the challenges brought in more fun than I had expected , and it really is a great game . With families staying at home more than ever , they'll want much more to be entertained with their video games , and Wii Sports Resort handles the trick well , as a must have to your video game library .

Wii Sports Resort ( Video Game )
The Wii Sports Resort is a great set of games . I originally played this game at a relatives home and instantly fell in love with it . I have some mobility issues and when I tried out some of these games I realized I was able to get up and move around without a ton of effort , and all the while I was having a blast . I went home and bought myself a Wii system shortly after that and this was the first game I sought to buy . Mainly because it has several games within the one . I love playing all of the games , they are great fun . I've heard some people complain about the graphics and although I somewhat agree that in this age of technology you would think the graphics would be more advanced but for a video game I think you can adjust to it . It does take a couple of rounds of any one of the games to get the feel for the controler in that particular game but once you play them a bit you'll get the feel for each one .
This game is well worth it's price because it gives you several games within it to keep you busy for hours . I give it a solid thumbs up !

I really liked the Sports that came with my Wii , but Sports Resort is much better . . . mainly because of the Motion Plus . The only 2 games that are the same from Sports are bowling and golf . With bowling and golf in Resort , you have SO much more control over what your ball is doing . Not only do you have more ball control , you have more to do within each game . bowling has a 100 pin game and a game where you have to bowl around blocks to hid the pins behind them . In golf , you can choose different courses and if you wanted to play 3 , 9 or 18 hole games . This game ( like most other games out there ) it's more fun to play against your friends or family instead of solo .
I don't have many games for my Wii , but I have traded in a few that I didn't like to buy this one . This one is a keeper for sure .
Sports = Fun
Sports Resort = Fun x2
Play = Avarage
Guitar Hero = Fun
Party Games 2 = Not good
Carnival Games = Really bad

Wii sports was a good showcase of the system . Resort takes that , flips it on its head , and gets you to have FUN with so much more control integration . . . but . . . . there is an added level of competition here that is defiant throughout your resort vacation . Every game , imo , gets very , very competitive in a way that wii sports 1 never reached due to the basic who can waggle better ( ? ) . Prepare to sweat , prepare your curse words , prepare to be very angry at your oppenents ! ! Instead of listing what is bad and good , ill just list the games that are more or less ehhh
Fencing seems great at first , and you are wowed by the coolness , however , after many matches against people of all skill levels - this game is NOT waggle-proof . The hardest wagglers ( like my gf ) will win almost all the time , no matter what skill level you are . A straight waggle fest dominates this game , which is a bit dissapointing . There is a defensive counter attack , but a very hard determined waggler can break through it !
Wave Running - in theory cool , but keeping the boat going straight is an issue
Canoeing - Cool , again , getting the boat on your intended course is difficult , when you switch sides to steer , sometimes the game does not recognize it , but wow WHAT A WORK OUT
The rest of the games . . . are . . . AWESOME . The graphical presentation is up 10 fold , the subtle music is cool and not annoying , but the best are the signature Nintendo'd sound effects that make every game addicting and unique .
I will conclude and say this is a MUST BUY by any means , whether you play alone or with friends , this game is so much fun , and highly competitive , with 2 + player modes abound , and different variations ( playing against eachother , or , playing collectively , unlocking bonus modes / activities ) For [ . . . ] bucks , cant beat it , and its a must have , with almost perfect controls in every game , a few games are a little lackluster , but still fun .
Wii Sports Resort has made Wii Sports 1 into a game of SKILL , and your abilities in the game will be tested against your oppenents which makes for one heck of a competitive fun fest . Pure Nintendo , pure fun , and you will be sweating ! !

Wii Sports Resort is a great addition to our Wii Games . I'm selective at which games I buy because my kids lose interest fast . Games with variety are the best in our house . My son ( 7 ) loves the sword fighting and watersports . My daughter ( 10 ) likes archery , frisbee , and one of the airplane games . My husband - an advid hunter - likes the archery . There is something for everyone . It was a good mid-Summer addition to our routine . It changed things up and got the kids off the couch . Worth the investment . I would recommend !

With much anticipation , I opened my new copy of Wii Sports Resort . I ran through all of the games and I am satisfied overall . If you enjoyed Wii Sports and find yourself popping it in your Wii every now and then , you will certainly like Sports Resort . These games are great when you have a few people around and you just want to pass the Wiimote around and give everyone a chance to have fun . The game lengths are kept short so you can play several games of each type . The Wiimotion add on does improve the accuracy of the Wiimote but you will have to experiment a little to notice it . Once you do , you will like it . I noticed quite a bit of diffence in the new bowling game . I twisted my wrist slightly to simulate a spin and this translated fantastically using the Wiimotion remote add on . Another great use of the Wiimotion add on is in the Jet Ski game . If you hold the wiimote like it's a handlebar on a motorcycle , it allows you to throttle the jet ski just as you would a motorcycle by twisting the right handle . That worked great . Other stand out games include frisbee throwing which was quite accurate with wiimotion , 3 - point basketball , and canoeing . I didn't see how the canoeing event used the wiimotion but it was a good game nonetheless . The basketball free throwing for points is like being at an amusement park where you go from station to station and each station has 5 balls you shoot within a certain time limit . This was a great crowd pleaser .
Like a previous review mentioned . I do wish there were more variety in the games . Not more games , but just more courses and more events withing each game but don't let that stop you from picking up a copy . I predict a lot of wiimotion games will soon be out and Wii Sports is a great start .
Update ! ! ! 8 / 3 / 09 . . .
Ok , I've had Wii Sports Resort for over a week now and wanted to give some more insight into a few games since I have played them for awhile . I'm listing pros and cons but I still stand on my initial review that Wii Sports Resort is a great addition to my library of games .
SWORDFIGHTING : I like this game but for newbees on the wii , it appears that it is difficult to understand that this game isn't all about slashing your opponent as fast as you can . Blocking plays a key role and if you don't get that then the game isn't nearly as interesting . Just imaging boxing where you just keep swinging the remote with no finesse just blow after blow . Not really fun but good exercise . The blocking in swordfighting , if done right by both participants , eliminates the frenzied movement of the wiimote to slash your opponent and makes the game a little more strategic . It's difficult to train a newbee not to just want to attack attack attack and they end up losing and don't even know why .
WATERSPORTS : The jetski games is good and takes practice to ride your jetski through the rings . However , the water ski game just didn't stay on the screen long as it is only fun for a short time . The type of tricks you can do on the water ski are limited and repetitive . With better courses this may have been a stand out game such as dodging obstacles or jumping over ramps .
BASKETBALL : Both the free throw and 3 - on - 3 pickup games are good . This will be played alot the 3 - on - 3 games has blocking capabilities that generates a lot of laughs . One improvement here would be that if a ball is blocked that the blocker shouldn't automatically get the ball but it should be a free for all and given to the first player who can get to it .
ARCHERY : I love the potential of this game the most but feel it also needs a lot of improvements that could have made this THE standout game . First , the controls are a bit awkward . The wiimote simulates the bow and the nunchuck simulates the string . Not sure why but quite often once you have the string pulled all of the way back and try to aim the bow at your target , the wiimote is pointing in some obscure way like way to the left or almost pointed to the floor when you are directly aimed at the target . With practice this can be controlled but it seems like this could have been improved . Re-calibrating the wiimote did not help . I believe the game picks up the target when you pull the string back with the nunchuck regardless of where your wiimote is and then when you move your wiimote around to aim at the target it is usually not facing the tv . I also believe this game needs a little more variety . It's fun shooting at the targets from further distances but it needs more . How about baloons on the target that have to be popped in order to score points . The targets move in later stages but almost so slow that it isn't any more challenging than if they are still targets .
FRISBEE : Both the toss game where you pop baloons and land on a target and the frisbee golf are good . I found that after playing frisbee golf this is one of the standout games if not THE standout game of the bunch . You play on regular golf courses and there are situations where trees are in the way and you can toss the frisbee in a forced curve to go around the trees . This is much easier and translates better then trying to do this using a golf club . Just tilt the frisbee like would do on a real one and toss away . It's really something to see the frisbee curve ( and I mean curve ) around a group of trees and move up the course to make par .
BICYCLING : Very good game . More fun than I thought and quite challenging . This is one game that is just plain fun to cycle around the Island on a rather long course . It gives everone a fair chance to win even if they get behind . I lost to a complete newbee even after being in first place because my character got exhausted towards the end and when he stopped ( as it will do automatically ) I was passed by several bikes to lose the race . The drafting behind other bicyclists to conserve energy works well . This is a great party game .
TABLE TENNIS : I love playing table tennis ( ping-pong ) on a real table and must say that the game translates well on the wii sports resort . The games are short but always exciting . I love that you can actually put top spin on the ball by flicking the wiimote just as you hit the ball and it translates well on the game as the ball goes to your oppononent with an actually spin that is more difficult to return . The only thing I couldn't get the ball to do was to lob in the air . Not sure why but I'll keep at it . It seems that lobbing the ball so it arcs up in the air just translates as a regular hit and the ball goes just above the net . Placing the ball where you want it to doesn't work so well either . It works but could you a little polishing .
CANOEING : This is where the games get weak . I don't see this one played much because it's too difficult to control . You will constantly run into the side barriers because the controls don't track well on this game . Often times when you paddle on the left , the character on screen paddles to the right and wham ! you're into the side barrier . Not much fun unless the courses were more open and more varied . The instructions say to paddle wide to get more power in your paddle but that didn't seem to make much of a difference .
AIRPLANE : This is the most disappointing . This game had the greatest potential for being fun but unfortunately it comes up short . The biggest problem is that you spend most of your time trying to find the other player in the dog-fight episode and without a radar you cannot find them that easily and spend most of your time just flying around . The controls on the game respond well and it is fun to fly around the island . Better than other flight games I've owned on other platforms but without much to do it gets old real fast . I'm really disappointed in the airplane because of it's lost potential . Maybe they'll come out with a game that has both players flying through an obstacle course to see can control the plane the best . The dog-fighting just didn't cut it without a radar and even with it , it needs help .

BICYCLING : Very good game . More fun than I thought and quite challenging . This is one game that is just plain fun to cycle around the Island on a rather long course . It gives everone a fair chance to win even if they get behind . I lost to a complete newbee even after being in first place because my character got exhausted towards the end and when he stopped ( as it will do automatically ) I was passed by several bikes to lose the race . The drafting behind other bicyclists to conserve energy works well . This is a great party game .
TABLE TENNIS : I love playing table tennis ( ping-pong ) on a real table and must say that the game translates well on the wii sports resort . The games are short but always exciting . I love that you can actually put top spin on the ball by flicking the wiimote just as you hit the ball and it translates well on the game as the ball goes to your oppononent with an actually spin that is more difficult to return . The only thing I couldn't get the ball to do was to lob in the air . Not sure why but I'll keep at it . It seems that lobbing the ball so it arcs up in the air just translates as a regular hit and the ball goes just above the net . Placing the ball where you want it to doesn't work so well either . It works but could you a little polishing .
CANOEING : This is where the games get weak . I don't see this one played much because it's too difficult to control . You will constantly run into the side barriers because the controls don't track well on this game . Often times when you paddle on the left , the character on screen paddles to the right and wham ! you're into the side barrier . Not much fun unless the courses were more open and more varied . The instructions say to paddle wide to get more power in your paddle but that didn't seem to make much of a difference .
AIRPLANE : This is the most disappointing . This game had the greatest potential for being fun but unfortunately it comes up short . The biggest problem is that you spend most of your time trying to find the other player in the dog-fight episode and without a radar you cannot find them that easily and spend most of your time just flying around . The controls on the game respond well and it is fun to fly around the island . Better than other flight games I've owned on other platforms but without much to do it gets old real fast . I'm really disappointed in the airplane because of it's lost potential . Maybe they'll come out with a game that has both players flying through an obstacle course to see can control the plane the best . The dog-fighting just didn't cut it without a radar and even with it , it needs help .

Wii spent so long to make this game and I got to admit , much better than I expected . In this version of Wii sports , it lets you chose from twelve games . So if you don't like one , you got 11 more . The game most people play first is called swording . Not fencing , swording . That game starts out to be really fun . Than you can try anything from basketball to air sports . From frisbee to table tennis ( which is just ping-pong ) .
The game itself is great but you need something called Wii motion plus . It adds virtually nothing to the game , and the game itself on comes with one . You can only play if you have the W.M.P . but the game itself only comes with one . That means only one player can play until someone goes to the store to buy another one .
All in all , it was a good game .

Nothing to complain about , but then again , nothing to brag about either .

There's no denying that Wii Sports Resort is a fun party game that will appeal to both casual and experienced gamers . However , I started to feel the game's lack of depth after only a couple hours of gameplay .
One thing the game doesn't lack is novelty : there are 12 sports to choose from , each with a few different options to keep things fresh . Swordfighting is by far the best of the bunch , particular for one or two players . Frisbee and Frisbee Golf are also great additions , while Canoeing , Cycling , and Air Sports are kind of lame . Bowling is better this time around with more options and features , but golf suffers from increased difficulty and a loss of pick up and play appeal .
I'm frustrated by the requirement of the Wii Motion Plus accessory . Don't be fooled : this is just another cash-grabber in a long line of Nintendo accessories ( see also : N64 Expansion Pack , Gameboy link cables , and the Nintendo DSi ( with camera ! ) ) . If the motion controls weren't good enough , then they should have been improved before the system launched , not with pricey accessories later .
My other frustration is the loss of immediate playability that made the original Wii Sports so popular . The first time you pop the disc in , you're forced to watch a video explaining how to assemble your easy-to-assemble controller . Also , some of the new events are less intuitive than their predecessors ; many new players will need the practice session offered at the start of each event ( which slows down the gameplay significantly ) .
That said , Wii Sports Resort will keep you and a bunch of your friends entertained for quite a while . If you've played Wii Sports ( and let's face it , who hasn't ? ) you know exactly what to expect .

We got the game this morning and have played * most * of the basic level games and found them pretty fun overall . I definitely recommend getting at least one extra motion-plus adapter for the competitive modes .
I think what strikes me about the game is the variety of the sports - - and the fact that each one has a pretty unique feel for it , so the games do not seem repetitive .
A number of the games used pretty broad movements , so you get a nice bit of upper-body movement . The activity level is pretty close to that of Wii Sports . The control seems fine . I actually do not notice much difference in having the additional control , but that may be because it feels natural . Fitting the motion-plus adapter takes about 15 seconds . It fits securely and easily .
My favorites . . . so far . . . flying , basketball , wave runner . . I've found them all fun - - but not so overly challenging as to be frustrating .
I'm very happy with the price / fun ratio . This should prove to be one of those games that can provide entertainment for any age from 5 to 95 .
The only reason for the 4 stars instead of 5 is that sometimes the tutorials / menus and calibration reminders are just a bit tedious .
After all of 5 hours of play time , though , I definitely recommend it .

Sports Resort is addictive . Features about 12 games - swordplay , frizbee , jet ski , water surfing , sky diving , cycling , basketball shooting , table tennis , golf , bowling and a couple other which escapes my memory at the moment . They'll good fun and most have a couple options , for example the swordplay features duel ( one-on-one challenge - best of three ) , quick slice ( one-on-one who slices in the correct direction the fastest - win ten to win the game ) and showdown ( single player challenge - take on the other Miis take three hits = game over ) .
Its all fun whether you play on your own or challenge a friend or two .

Well I purchased the Wii in mid - 2008 with the hopes that it would be a great activity for the whole family , needless to say it didn't work out that way and we're spent most of our time using the Xbox 360 . Well , that is , until I got this for Christmas . This is the first Wii game that my sons have really enjoyed ; it's a great balance of fun , challenge , skill development , and variety . We particularly like the Frisbee , swordplay and bowling games , but have also enjoyed sky diving and canoeing . The great thing about the variety of games is that each one of us has a particular skill set that works best for certain games ; in other words , each of us is particularly good at a particular game , thus no one comes away without having had a winning experience . I know the whole point is to have fun , but it can be discouraging to a child to never come out on top ; with the Wii sports resort that's not a problem . Overall , I think this a great game for families with children and highly recommend it .

My teenage son had played this ( rented ) game and loved it . He was insistant about it being on his Christmas list . The second specialized controller is necessary for 2 players . It is a wonderful disc with many game options , and his sister and Dad laughed uproariously competing against him in some of the races . I highly recommend it .

There are lots of attempts to make group games for the wii . Some are fun , most are a waste of money as they are too difficult or tedious . This game is perfect . It has plenty of originality , variation , and simple fun ! And it is just as fun one player as a group . Most importantly , the wii motion accessory makes the control ALMOST perfect . My only complaints are with basketball , which is unintuitive and odd , the controls in frisbee , which is fun but hard to control , and the water sports games , which are either too complicated or two annoying for the most part . Those three problems are only about 10% of the whole game . Otherwise , two thumbs up .

Folks ,
This is without a doubt the most incredible entertainment bargain in my entire lifetime . EVERY game on this disc has nuances that beg you to come back . Good at all and master of none , we have had this since the release date this past summer , and we play it nearly every day . It would be well worth twice the price ! We are in our mid-forties and rather than being slugs and watching uninteresting mind-numbing TV , we play this game . It is amazing how it has yet to be boring . I wonder if it's like visual / mental crack cocaine ? I am addicted .
My claim : I sleep better , I think more clearly , I have more friends , and I tossed my Enzyte in the trash ! ( Just kidding of course , but the game is awesome ! )
Simply Fantastic !
I hope Wii Sports Resort II is being developed !

Wii are just two , in our mid 40 ' s , 7 - 5er's and we are not couch potatoes , we golf on the wkends , wii ride our bikes around the island , and he loves to hit the waves , but wii find the Wii so relaxing , so much fun , and at times a bit addicting , as wii are so competive . Our friends love to come over to play and also lean towards being competive . The games with the new motion enhancer are more challenging , and the variety is very nice . Wii think it was a great price , and have purchased the game and the Wii set up as a Santa gift for one of our friends . . . then they can all go to their house once in awhile .

I mainly bought this game for the ping pong , and I wasn't disappointed . It is as close to the real thing as you can get . Much to my surprise , I found several other games that I like very much . The 3 on 3 basketball game is almost addictive . As an oldtimer ( age 69 ) I find the swordplay speed slice a good way to sharpen my reflexes . I thought canoeing would be boring , but found it to be a good cardio exercise . What's not to like . You get a game that provides lots of fun , and provides exercise at the same time .

The original Wii Sports is the best-selling game of all time . I don't think it should count , since it is a pack-in with the Wii , but whatever . Nintendo hopes to advance it's popularity with a sequel , titled Wii Sports Resort . Wii Sports Resort takes place on Wuhu Island , and to get there you must skydive . I can't mention the games without mentioning the Wii Motion Plus . This adds extra sensors to the remote and makes it very responsive . You must calibrate it each time you put on Wii Sports Resort , but it didn't detract from anything . Let me tell you , this is motion control . It's like you are reaching out and touching the screen . It is terrific .
Wii Sports Resort consists of 12 sport mini games , 2 of which return from the original Wii Sports ( Bowling and Golf ) . These sports range from Archery to Basketball to Dueling . They are very fun and require a lot of skill and practice . Here are a few of the sports :
1 . Frisbee - In Frisbee , you can throw a frisbee to a cute dog , which is very relaxing , or you can hit the golf courses and play some Frolf .
2 . Canoeing - This is one of the water-based games in Wii Sports Resort . You must move the Wiimote just like an oar , and reach the goal . It is very fun in 2 player .
3 . Table Tennis - Essentially an update of the original tennis , Table Tennis has you rallying a ball back and forth across a table . This is one of my favorites .
4 . Archery - Archery is a blast , and just like golf , you have to take into consideration the wind speed , and the distance you are from the target . Very fun .
These are just a few of the many sports in Wii Sports Resort . Another fun feature is the Stamp System , where you complete 5 fun challenges for each sport . These range from getting a 300 in Bowling , or sinking every shot in Basketball . This added a lot of replay value .
My only complaint is that if you want to play with friends , then you must buy extra Wii Motion Pluses . This was kind of annoying , but they are cheap , and easy to find .
Overall , you'll be playing Wii Sports Resort for years to come . It is truly a great Wii gem .

Remember all those years ago , back in 2006 , when the Wii was first introduced ? Who didn't enjoy that sense of wonder when they picked up a Wii-mote , swung it behind them , and then swung it forward , releasing the bowling ball and getting their first strike ? Or how about holding it sideways , and steering your Excite Truck to victory ?
That sense of wonder has since all but faded from the masses , as the Wii hasn't really released anything game-changing in a while . Wii Sports Resort changes all that . The sword fighting is frantic , the archery is challenging , and the improved bowling makes me realize how much I actually suck at bowling . Putting a curve on the ball in table tennis , and watching your opponent's Mii dive for it as it bounces past them is immensely satisfying as well . I also like the frisbee golf a lot more than the regular golf .
All in all , Wii Sports Resort is a true return to form for the Wii , and rekindles that sense of wonder that had all but burnt out from a long period of lackluster games . The Wii Motion Plus is a very welcome addition , and I look forward to many more games making good use of it in the future .

What a great game ! All the activities are set on an island resort . So far our favorites are basketball and the airplane tour of the island . The sensor that fits onto the Wii controller is a great improvement ( buy some new batteries , though , to get the most out of it ) . This is an ideal game for these hot summer vacation days when it's too hot or too expensive to go anywhere , really . Which brings me to the play value of this game . It's a phrase I like to use with my kids when they want a toy that I think is going to interest them a total of about twenty minutes . This game , on the other hand , has almost UNLIMITED play value between solo and team efforts and then the various permutations on each game which you unlock as you play .
Couple this with the unique and brilliant motion controller concept and this is a MUST-HAVE GAME ! It's fantastic !

The sensor that fits onto the Wii controller is a great improvement ( buy some new batteries , though , to get the most out of it ) . This is an ideal game for these hot summer vacation days when it's too hot or too expensive to go anywhere , really . Which brings me to the play value of this game . It's a phrase I like to use with my kids when they want a toy that I think is going to interest them a total of about twenty minutes . This game , on the other hand , has almost UNLIMITED play value between solo and team efforts and then the various permutations on each game which you unlock as you play .

I won't recap what everyone else here has already covered so capably but will add my 5 stars to the mix . My 2 1 / 2 yr old Wii was starting to gather a little dust recently but with this new game I am once again hooked . We played it for the first time last night and ended up staying up until 2am ( on a work night ! ) because we were having so much fun . I seriously wanted to play again this morning but had to get to the office ( and clearly , I'm waaaaay out of my teens ) .
Buy it !

Wii Sports as you probably know is the game that comes with the Nintendo Wii console when you buy it , seeing how much people enjoyed playing Wii sports Nintendo wanted to capitalize on its success by releasing another Wii Sports game . There ` s certainly nothing wrong with that approach because this new Wii Sports Resort improves on the original game in more ways than one . In Resort you can select from 12 sports games to play , including 10 new games like Basketball and Frisbee or the improved Bowling and Golfing games . You also get a Wii-MotionPlus that goes on your Wiimote with the game , you will probably want to pick up another or a few more depending on how many Wiimotes you have but I ` ll tell you right away you can ` t play the game without it . If you think you ` ve played this game before because you played Wii Sports think again , it ` s not the same as you play different sports and each game has different controls and there are more games here than Wii Sports had .
The new games are Table Tennis , Cycling , Sky-Diving , Basketball , Canoeing , Frisbee , Swordplay , Archery , Wakeboard and power cruising . All make great use of the MotionPlus on the Wiimote which is a good thing , you don ` t feel like you paid for something extra that won ` t get used with this game . My favorites out of these mini-games as I call them are Basketball , Bowling , Swordplay and Cycling , there are so great games and some so-so games but everyone has their favorites out of the selection . I spent many hours playing Wii Sports Resort and it ` s always a challenge to me ! One thing I really liked is that in this Wii Sports once you ` ve played each games you can unlock other categories for the same game ex ; after playing bowling you unlock the 100 pins bowling and so on , there is a lot to unlock for these 12 game they will keep you busy for a while before you complete everything .
The MotionPlus was first introduced with Wii Sports Resort , I have to say it works very well and it does make the Wiimote a more precise controller and it ` s very interesting . My only problem with it is that they get you to buy this great game with the MotionPlus , you are likely to get more of those for your controllers at around $20 each only to realize that you can only use MotionPlus for a few games including Wii Sports Resort . I wish that more Wii games could make use of it because unless I play Resort or one of the very few games ( which are mostly sports ) using the MotionPlus it ` s practically collecting dust . MotionPlus is definitely fun so it ` s unfortunate that there are not many games supporting it .
There are many great Wii games out there ( even if there are many not so great games as well ! ) and I feel that this is one of those great games . Is it better than the original ? Well I kinda miss boxing and tennis from Wii Sports to be honest ( they will keep me playing this game ) and wish that Nintendo would have come up with improved version like they did for bowling on Wii Sports Resort but overall I think it ` s a better game than Wii Sports is . It ` s another hit for Nintendo ` s Wii , another great game that can be played by the whole family that is non-violent , entertaining an provides exercise ( some game make you work more than others but it ` s not as intense as one of the fitness game for the Wii but it still makes you move ! ) what more could you ask ? I would say it ` s an improvement on the original though there wasn ` t much to improve in the first place , if you have a Wii strongly consider getting this for your game collection it will be worth it and hours will be spent playing it which is not a bad thing because of the exercise it gives you ! 5 stars all the way !

If you don't already own a Wii , you're going to want one just so you can play this game .
The original Wii Sports ( WSO ) is a freebie included in every box with the purchase of a Wii . Though not terribly complex , it was loads of fun . So much fun , I didn't feel the need to buy another Wii game for several weeks until Mario Kart hit the shelves .
They took the original concept and expanded upon it , included some new games , and developed a few others . My favorites are 100 - pin bowling , fencing showdown , archery , and 18 - hole golf . The motionplus adds a new level of accuracy and difficulty . Golfing used to be a breeze . 9 under on a 9 - hole course was the norm back when I played on WSO . I average par for 18 - holes on Wii Sports Resort ( WSR ) . My bowling has actually improved . Playing with 100 pins is a novelty that still hasn't gotten old . Of all the games , my family has logged the most hours on bowling than all of the others combined .
When they say hours of family fun they mean that consecutively . I'm actually afraid to start this game up after 9PM on weekdays .
This is easily the 2nd favorite game in the house , following closely on the heels of Little Big Planet .
This game is not like Link's Crossbow Training or WSO : a lame freebie game they throw in with the accessory . I would buy this game even without the motionplus .

My husband and I LOVE this game . It's our favorite so far . When our friends come over , we all have a great time playing Sports Resort . Just make sure to buy extra Motion Plus so more than one person can play at the same time .
The bowling is so realistic - my father in law ( who has a bad knee and can't bowl in real life anymore ) LOVES this game . He didn't want to stop playing ! He felt good being able to bowl again . My favorite game is Golf . Because of the Motion Plus , each game is so sensitive to your every movement that it's just like golfing or bowling in real life . Boxing is also tons of fun . You really work up a sweat ! We always laugh at whoever is boxing because they look goofy bouncing around our living room . All the games are great for get-togethers !
This is my favorite of all our Wii games . Each of the 12 games is so much fun . . . we can play for hours without realizing it . This is SO worth the money !

Ok this is my first review so give me an easy time . I have had a lot a fun with this game i never play this game alone its too boring by yourself . With more people your laughing having fun just having a good time . Dont get me wrong the games awesome just not so great by yourself its a 3 out of 5 by yourself with more people 5 out of 5 this game is a must own for anyone with the wii or loves the wii . If you liked the first wii sports or wii play you will LOVE this one this one also has some of the mini games from the first wii sports this one has some new mini games like sword play and wave boarding both a lot of fun also this one uses the new wii motion plus witch works great its awesome it just annoying that you cant leave it in to play other wii games if you have this in when try too play other wii games that arent compatible it wont register the nunchuck and it gets annoying that sometimes that you have to place down the wii mote so the wii motion plus can register bottom line have a wii like party games ? Get this game .

My family loves Wii Resort . We received this for Christmas and have played it countless times . The games are fun , challenging and my entire family ( from the 4 year old to the adults ) have a blast with this .
The only issue we have had with it is the Motion Remote goes a little batty sometimes - but it has a quick fix to calibrate it .

We were hopeful when we bought this that my 6 year old , who is the main user of the Wii , would be able to easily control and play the games . So far , we are not disappointed .
There are a few games that she has yet to master . Canoeing , for example , is beyond her grasp . But things like skydiving and bicycle races are really piquing her interest . She is loving basketball and archery . Even frisbee throwing !
So if you are considering this for a younger child , do it !

This is a far more satisfying game than Wii Sports was in my opinion , It advertises 12 sports on the front , but its really more than that , many of the sports listed have multiple game modes that use the same control scheme , but feel like other games in and of themselves , for instance the sword game has three modes : duel mode , speed slice mode , and showdown mode . Duel mode and show down mode feel like games in themselves while speed slice feels like a mini game one would find in a mario party game . Other highly satisfying modes include Golf which includes two 18 hole courses ( far more than golf in Wii Sports ) , frisbee which includes a frisbee golf mode that uses the same courses as golf , Power cruising , which uses jet skis and feels like the old N64 and Gamecube games Wave Racer and it's sequel and includes 8 courses , table tennis which is like tennis from the original wii sports but feels more accurate thanks to the wii motion plus , and bowling which now includes two new interesting game play modes : 100 pin mode and spin control .
The other games in this set are a bit disappointing in how they seem to have been overlooked or feel incomplete when they were added using containing just one game play mode which often feels short or like a simple mini game more than a full game . For Instance , wake boarding is really fun to play in my opinion , but you really only get three courses and you only get to play them for a few minutes each and it makes it feel shorter than I would like . The archery mode has only one mode with 3 difficulty settings for a total of 4 targets in each difficulty making it feel more like a mini game and an after thought . Basketball has a 3 point contest mode and a pick-up game mode which is only playable after having played the three point contest and which also feels like a mini game as you can't control where your players move , you can only control which other player they pass the ball too and make shots with them . Cycling mode is like a hold over from Wii Fit plus and I think it works better in that game as in wii fit plus you actually use your feet to pedal , but in this version you move the remote and nun chuck up and down to pedal AND you have to steer with them as well making it a fairly awkward mode . Canoeing feels more like a Wii Fit mode than a Wii Sports mode as you have to physically row the boat with the remote as an oar which can be a bit of a work out , disappointingly enough the game only comes with 2 modes , a speed challenge mode and a race mode which uses the same single course . Then there is the Air sports mode which consist of skydiving , island flying and dogfight mode , Skydiving feels like nothing more than yet another minigame that last just a few minutes at a time and really isn't any sort of challenge , island flyover is barely a game and more of a toy with no real goal where you get a plane and can fly around the island for 5 minutes and rack up a score by either popping balloons or finding points of Interest scattered on the map , and finally it has dog fight mode which I have never played as for some reason its multiplayer only and I don't really feel like going out and buying another Wii motion plus at this time .

I am having so much fun with these games . 4i days in a row and I am not at all bored . I use this in conjunction with wii fit plus , wii fit allows you to add in any extra activities you are doing and get a calorie burning count and credit for extra workouts . I am using the Sport Resort after meals to keep my blood sugar in check , it should be a diabetic treatment it works so well . I love the bike riding , no problem peddling with my arms , it is a really good workout and I wouldn't be out peddling a bike the real way . I am getting fantastic at Frisbee Golf and bowling , the only thing I don't like is the sword playing , just a bit of wild thrashing with the wiimote and the opponent is off the platform , no fun . I recommend this to anyone who does not get a lot of exercise for whatever reason , age , illness , back problems or snowy winter weather , it is fun and it is the best Christmas present I have gotten in ages . The new motion remote is great and seems to work well with the original sports .

I played this at a store at Xmas time while waiting for my kids to pick out some games . It looked like a lot of fun . I bought the game a few weeks later . My family has enjoyed it immensely . We have had competitions trying to outscore each other on archery and waverunning . My arm actually hurt after practicing frisbee all afternoon . It is very addictive . I haven't yet tried all the games but I will . I like that there are lots of choices of games and a number of levels of play for each . I give this game a two thumbs up !

I haven't yet tried all the games but I will . I like that there are lots of choices of games and a number of levels of play for each . I give this game a two thumbs up !

This game is a fun family game that's meant to be played in groups . By yourself , it only has limited value before it gets old .

This is a great game ! It has enough challenges to keep you coming back for more . I've been using it for over a month now and I still haven't even scratched the tip of the iceberg . Nintendo has really created a well-rounded game that has a little something for everyone !

I received this game for Christmas and wanted to use it for a while before writing a review .
Unfortunately , I didn't personally get to use it as much as I would have liked . . . . two of my children ( 13 and 5 ) keep it tied up .
There are so many fun activites on this game , that can keep you busy for hours .
I had purchased my Wii for fitness , and while not all the games on
Wii Sports Resort
keep you moving , many of them do and will fall right into a fitness routine .
With attractive , intense scenery too !
We've easily become hooked on this game ; unfortunately leaving the
Wii Fit Plus
to collect dust for a while .
But it's something we all enjoy and I'm sure your family will too !

This is the best Wii game we have ! We play it more than any other . As un-athletic as I am , I ROCK at Basketball . My son LOVES the Dueling game and the Slicing Game is really fun . Everything on it , from 100 pin bowling to skydiving is fantastic . This should be in every Wii library .

The only think I don't like about the new motion plus is that you have to calibrate it every 10 - 15 minutes , it's not hard , you just lay down the control on a flat surface and it took like 5 seconds . But this game is awesome for the whole family and all ages .

This game is hard not to like , with the enhanced motion plus you definitely feel more responsive motion . I particularly enjoy the archery game in that there is a feel of realism to the game . It really is a great game for when people come over . Overall I would highly recommend it to anyone who has a Wii !

My son and I bought this hoping it would be as much fun as Wii Sports . He's 7 . Wii Sports has provided the best games that we can both have fun playing together . . . until now . This is such a great addition to our Wii Collection . I've been impressed with how many games it comes with , and then we keep unlocking more variations . I can't imagine how many they'll be when everything is unlocked . We're enjoying all the games . My son in particular is crazy about the sword fighting . But the cycling , canoeing , frisbee and all of them are really great . Easy enough to quickly enjoy , but challenging enough to keep getting better as you play . It's amazing how sensitive the remove is with the Motion Plus . It recognizes even the slightest move of your wrist .
I hate spending so much for games , but this is a case where you're really getting what you pay for . It's great for all ages , even my 3 year old was able to toss the frisbee to the dog after a few tries . And I love that we can all participate as a family activity . I highly recommend , especially if you really limit the games you buy and choose carefully for each one .

Lots of reviews here so not to repeat here is my quick summary . The games are great for adults and young kids . I spent a lot of time looking for games my almost 3 and almost 5 year olds like . Resort and Wii Fit Plus are the two most popular all around games on the wii . Resorts has unique games that take advantage of the wii motion plus . . . archery , airplanes , frisby , swords , wow ! If you have young kids . . . get it ! If you don't . . . get it anyway !

My kids received this game for Christmas along with a few other kid-themed games . This game is the one that says in the Wii all the time . My kids , both age 6 , without a lot of gaming experience , were able to pick up / master these games with ease . They love it even more than Mario Kart , Little Pet Shop etc . Definitely a win , plus as Parents , we enjoy it as well , so it creates a lot of family fun . I would highly recommend this game . It's money well spent . You can fly planes , play ping pong , wake board , bowl , etc . It's always interesting .

When we purchased our Wii it came with Wii Sport , which we loved ! We thought this would expound on those type of sports , which it does , but it should not include the same sports that are on Wii Sports , i.e . , bowling and golfing . We loved throwing the frisbee to the little dogs ( adorable ) and watching 2 people try to push off the other from a tall pedestal is hilarious . Not watching the game , watching the 2 people play it ! The skiiing is boring as is the repeat of other similar sports on the game . We did get hooked on golfing so purchased the Tiger Woods Season 7 , now we're addicted to that one since the other seasons became more complicated and therefore , less fun . Wii Sport Resort is great for families playing it together or parties since the enjoyment is in watching the people play . Playing it by yourself , no fun at all . Also , don't purchase this for exercise like some of the other Wii Games , you will not get that value with this game .

Great game . I got it for my kids for Christmas . It came with one wii motion motion plus , which was nice , but if you want to compete using other remotes in the game , you must have a motion plus for your other remotes as well . This should be made clear when buying the game .

If you want someone to tell you how great it is , read a different review . I'm here to tell what's not-so-satisfactory about it .
1 . Accuracy : If the batteries in you Wii remote are not fully charged , the WiiMotion Plus will not accurately reflect your movements no matter how many times you recalibrate the remote . This can cause major frustration .
2 . Skill Points : You don't lose skill points as easily as you did in the original Wii Sports . This means that after a while you will get to 2500 points if you're good enough and there you stay . Unless you play with another person , it will get boring at that point . ( also on the subject of multi-player , Swordplay is not very enjoyable with 2 people because it's a matter of luck )
3 . CP Difficulty : Computer players get pretty hard relatively soon in the game and you can't go back and play those not-so-hard guys again . This makes it hard on younger kids who don't have a whole bunch of friends to invite over . And none of the games allow more than 2 people to play at once . It's just playing individually to see who gets a higher score .
To wrap it up I'll make this comment . Many times I'll be playing with a friend and I'd say Why don't we play this again and they'd say Nah , that one's not fun , or boring , or too hard . Some of the activities on this game hit the mark , but some just seem to fall short .

We have owned our Wii for about a month , and like many people I'm sure , have been buying ( and returning ) games and accessories like crazy . After reading the mixed reviews on Amazon about Sports Resort , I REALLY hesitated to buy it . The cost is high compared to other titles and the reviews were mixed ( many complaints about synching remotes ) .
I finally got a gift card and bit the bullet and bought the game . I decided it was worth the investment since many of the new games seem to support the MotionPlus . If not for OTHER games using the MotionPlus I would not have purchased this as it would have been a waste for a useless accessory .
I am delighted to review that we have ZERO issues with our remotes and synching . The game is absolutely fantastic , exceeded my expectations after I got used to it , and is now the most played game in our house - more than Lego Star Wars ( which is still my fav . )
Sports Resort has more finesse . Unlike the original sports , you just can't come out and wave around the remote and expect to do well . This takes practice and patience which makes it all the more fun . My family pretty much mastered the original Sports in about two weeks . This one is taking much more time so I feel we are getting much more value out of it .
Our fav game so far is Sword Play . My 7 year old kicks the pants off us in Duel because that is the one game where the faster you wave around the remote , the better you do . She has more energy . After you play the Duel , it unlocks Speed Slice which is where the Finesse kicks in and the MotionPlus really shows off it's stuff . Speed slice is a head to head game where you stand side by side your opponent . Random objects are thrown in front of each of you at the same time and an arrow indicates the direction you are supposed to slice . The first one to slice their object the correct direction wins .
I hate to point out Sword Play as the faviorite because most of the other games are equally as fun and get equal amount of play . We LOVE wakeboarding , Jet Ski , Archery , Bicycling , and Frisbee . Canoeing is really tough until you figure out how to hold the remote ( which is not how the game recommends ) . We haven't touched much on basketball ( yet ) and the Golf , Tennis and Bowling were burned out on the original sports . We have briefly played them but they are very similar to the original . I'm sure we'll come back to them in time . The Bowling has a level you can unock where you are bolwing at 100 pins per frame , which is really fun . You can play as teams and each teammate plays each frame . One takes the first bowl , and the other goes for the spare . You then trade up next frame so each person gets a turn going first and going for the cleanup . This can be frustrating if your partner cannot throw the ball straight . I will say we noticed much more sensitivity on the remotes during bowling . My 7 year old throws straight every time on the orignal sports , but on the motion plus , her wild swings cause the ball to go everytwhere .
If you are looking for a good family game or an active game that involves several people , then this is definitely the right game . Unfortunately , it comes at a high price . I settled on the idea that I simply needed to upgrade all of my remotes to the MotionPlus . This game does NOT work with only one remote unless you want to play alone . You absolutely need at least two and they BOTH have to have the MotionPlus . If you plan on getting this really fun game , make sure you order an additional MotionPlus . A bummer but a necessary investment as the technolgy moves forward . It will not be a waste as many of the games coming out now require the MotionPlus .
Where you can save money is on any other useless sports accessory . There is no need to buy the racket , the bat , the steering whel , or the golf club . They are more of a nuisance unless you like popping your remote in and out for every game . Just figure out how to use your remote properly .
+ 1 star for the variety of games
+ 1 stars for the fun factor
+ 1 star for multiplayer capability
+ 1 star for the MotionPlus
+ 1 star for Mii compatability
- 1 star for not having the option to play without the motion plus
- 1 star for having to buy ANOTHER motion plus for my other remotes
If the game did not REQUIRE the Motionplus X2 , it would have been five stars for sure - it's a GREAT game .

My kids got this game for christmas this year and I would say it was the best present of the holiday season . I have 3 kids ages 4,5 and 7 . This game is perfect for all of them . My 4 year old who can't read yet can easily start this game by himeself and play with no help . He loves the Swordplay , Basketball and Ping Pong the most . The games are laid out with pictures he can easily find the game he is looking for without being able to read . The games are all challenging enough for my 7 year old and my husband and I . They are all just fun , easy to do games .
I highly recommend this game to anyone ! !

I gave this game 4 stars but really should deserve 5 . Only reason why I gave it 4 instead of 5 is that fact that EACH Wii Remote has to have the Motion + Plus attachment in order to play . So if you only got one that came with the Wii Sports and you got Four ( 4 ) remotes that's Three ( 3 ) extra Motion + Plus attachments you gotta buy so each player can play not to mention Three ( 3 ) Wii Nunchucks too . The game itself is pretty high priced and to add all the extra attachment you'll need for Multi-player play it get's pretty hefty . But with that aside I find Wii Sports Resort to be very relaxing . On stressful days I find much relaxation from sitting down and enjoying a nice flyover the Wuhu Island in my plane or Canoe ride around the lake or to zip around the beach in the Wakeboard or even just a quite time playing frisbee with the Wii Dog . ( n _ _ n ) They're lots to do that you forget your Life troubles and melt into the Virtual Life at Wuhu Island Resort . I enjoyed Wii Sports so I had no doubt that I wouldn't enjoy this one too .

The game itself is pretty high priced and to add all the extra attachment you'll need for Multi-player play it get's pretty hefty . But with that aside I find Wii Sports Resort to be very relaxing . On stressful days I find much relaxation from sitting down and enjoying a nice flyover the Wuhu Island in my plane or Canoe ride around the lake or to zip around the beach in the Wakeboard or even just a quite time playing frisbee with the Wii Dog . ( n _ _ n ) They're lots to do that you forget your Life troubles and melt into the Virtual Life at Wuhu Island Resort . I enjoyed Wii Sports so I had no doubt that I wouldn't enjoy this one too .

Our family is really enjoying our new Wii and the games in Sports Resort are so much fun ! My daughter loves the swordfighting game - my husband finds the Wii remote has to be recalibrated a lot for this game ( the only down side we've found so far ) . Archery and Bowling are both games we enjoy playing together . The airplane games are also a lot of fun . We are still busy trying out all the games , but it's incredible so far ! The Wii is also a lot of fun for us , because we live in remote Alaska and can't go to a bowling alley or a mini golf course , etc . . .

This has been a great game for the entire family . You do need to purchase additional motion plus connectors if more than one person wants to play , and I recommend that as the games are so much fun to play together . Our 4 year old likes this game and can be successful playing it , but it is still challenging for the 11 year old . And grandma and grandpa even enjoy playing it . There are several levels to each of the games so it stays challenging too . For our family this is on the must have list of games for the Wii .

I loved the original Wii Sports , but the kids were getting bored of it . This seemed like a good way to spice things up without deviating from the wholesomeness of the original and so far , so good . The games are fun and challenging , but most are suitable for younger kids . My 4 and 6 year old love the beach dog frisbee and the six year old really likes the wakeboarding . The kendo-type sword play is also fun without being overly violent . They also appreciate the neat touches ( especially the whales ! ) in the very beautiful graphics . Me ? I've become addicted to the flying game and archery . The former really highlights the sensitivity of the Wii motion module , which I had not used prior to this game .
My only complaint : Geez , just package TWO Wii motion modules with it instead of one , Nintendo ! I know . . marketing . . but I'd rather pay more for the game and have the convenience of two modules as opposed to having to buy another separately .
Whining aside , if you at all liked the original Wii Sports , buy this game !

this is better than classic Wii Sports , adding extra movement / controls with the Wii motion plus . . . although , I would like to have more depth on most of the games . . specially those for single user game play . Fun overall .

I've been having a lot of fun with the new Wii Sports Resort . The improved controller response is excellent . . . too bad this wasn't included in the original Wii . Highly recommended . My wife and I are playing the Wii a whole lot more these days , though we're both complaining of sore arms . Who knew that virtual canoeing could be so tiring ? ! ?

Excellent game . You literally have a different movement action for each event . This is a great game for families , friends-over game nights ( adults or kids ) , or couples . Bike riding is literally an exercise ( and fun on the tandem bikes with 2 players ) , archery is great for the steady handed , flying is pretty cool . . . all in all a great game and the leveling system actually makes the 1 player modes challenging as you progress .
This is one of those must have games for your system . Having parties with people over , this game has something for everyone . You want 2 - 4 Controllers and you need nunchucks and the WiiMotion add-on ( one comes with the game ) [ If you want the full effect and to play all the games ] , I picked up extras . You can't do biking or archery without Nunchuks , etc .
If you have basic Wii Sports , this is a whole new set of games with some revamping of a couple classics as well . There is a controller accessory kit specifically for Sports Resort that has every attachment you would want to feel like you are literally in the sport , been thinking about picking up a couple sets just to add to the effect ( it plays just fine without of course ) .

I purchased this game knowing that for the holidays that I was going to have kids of all different ages at my house . I figured that even though I did not want them to play video games that somehow , they would wind up playing them . I wanted something non-violent and a little more entertaining then Wii Sports . This game seemed to fit the bill .
The Wii Motion Plus does add something to certain games such as the Jet Skiing which is one of my favorite games . Feel like hitting the water on your vacation , not a problem with this game . All of the kids loved the sword fighting , table tennis , and flying the airplanes . This is a definite improvement over just the basic games included on Wii Sports .
The adults played later on after some alcohol was consumed . Well , it got funnier as the night wore on . The kids were busy cheering for the adults or giving out helpful tips . However , it was easy enough for even the most non-electronic savvy players . My 93 year old father in law loved the sword fighting ! Some of the games could include more than 2 players which makes the games even more interesting . I think the adults became more competitive then the kids .
I could easily see this is as a form of entertainment for the evening . This game is really easy enough for everyone but can be as challenging as you want to make it . Go ahead and have that unique family vacation . You may not be able to come back with souvenirs but you will have the fun !

This game is sooooo much fun . I reccomend buying a second motion plus right away . The sword fighting is hysterical . My 10 - ye-old daughter and I loved it . The flying ( a plane ) is pretty darn cool too ( my daughter kept crashing which ejects her from the plane , but it gets her right back flying again . ) Also good for younger players . The controls are easy enough at the lower levels that my 5 - year-old can handle it ( like the sword play ) , and at the same time , the skill levels go high enough to continue to challenge players of all ages .
If you only have 1 motion plus , a great feature of this game is how easy it is to switch users . Other games , you have to back all the way out to change miis . Here , when you have the option of quit or play again , there's also the choice to change miis and keep playing the same game .
For archery , my daughter had to point out the circle target , but once I got the hang of it it rocked ! Frisbee is waaaay fun , and the puppy that runs and catches the frisbee is so stinking cute !
I also like the varied activity levels of the various games . Flying the plane you can sit and relax , yet bicycling gives a pretty good cardio workout . This is one of the finest used of the wii platform I've seen .

We finally bought our Wii a month or so ago , and Sports Resort was one of the first games we added to our already-growing collection . The Wii certainly has helped us get away from the mindless TV shows we used to watch in the evenings ! We really enjoy the bowling and table tennis games the most on this package . The golf is okay , but there's better golf sims out there for Wii , such as the Tiger Woods game ( love him or hate him , the game is good ) .
There's always room for improvement with these games , it seems . There's a slight delay from the time you move to when the game responds , even with the MOtion Plus module . The module certainly improved things over the original , but I believe there is still a ways to go . And as another review said , there's always room for new courses , more features and controls . I know Nintendo wants the Wii to be accessible and easy to use for everyone , but more customization features and advanced controls could be done in such a way that the ease would not be affected . All in all , though , we love it and would recommend it to anyone .

Got this game a few months ago and i LOVE it ! The wii motion plus just adds to the fun .
basketball : definetly one of my favorites . it really takes advantage of the accuracy of the motion plus . its cool how it lets you crossover and other do other cool stuff
swordplay : another really fun one . i love doing one on one duels because its easy to kick butt at first and then get some competition when you keep getting better . the showdowns even better because you can whack a bunch at once instead of just facing one . a few tips to be better 1 . when you duel , its all about momentum , push your opponent as close to the edge because then it gives you an advantage through the match 2 . when dueling , you dont have to slash your opponents . a simple stab will knock them down one on one .
table tennis : perhaps my favorite . the rallies can get very competitive . then smashing it down your opponents throat is even better . really fun and great game

This is just a wonderful game for the whole family . We all love Wii Sports but Wii Resort Sports is even better . The bowling is a great improvement . . . especially the Spin-Control game . There are two frisbee games that are a lot of fun and really simulate throwing an actual frisbee . We all love the basketball and addicted to challenging one another in the 3 - point shoot-out game . The sword play game is also a blast and makes us all laugh when hitting each other off of a very tall platform into the water . Lots of great family fun ! !

Purchased this game a while ago . There are lots of interesting games in it . We all had fun trying to learn the various games . Each game comes with a high score Hall of Fame as well as each individual player gets to earn stamps unique to each game . The most popular game was the airplane flying . The whole family became addicted to that one trying to complete all of the levels and acquire all of the stamps . The airplane dog fights are a lot of fun regardless of whether you could actually do the moves in a real airplane . Frisbee golf is enjoyable although it's not quite like the real thing . However , it is fun and will keep us in shape ? during the winter . The basketball 3 point shooting game is another one we play often . The archery game is challenging especially finding all of the secret targets ( we went on line to locate them , but you still need to hit them to earn the stamp ) . Lots of laughs as you learn each games . Popping wheelies on the bicycle racing , hitting the ducks in the canoeing , overall lots of fun . It may get old after a year or so , but so far , we are still playing it 6 months later .

This game has been the most fun I have had compared to most other Wii games . I am not crazy about the wakeboarding game but the rest of the games are just fun and I mean fun for all ages ! Out of 5 stars , I gave it a five but I would really love to give it a 10 . Great bundle for a great price .

By the end of the night when I was packing up the system our friend ( the mom ) said , Well , it looks like we're getting a Wii . So basically this game sold itself AND the system : )

We have played this game for hours with all ages of my family ( ages 8 - 60 ) . Everyone has loved it . If you can find the game with 2 controllers - get it ! The original game comes with one motion controller and you have to buy another one for an additional $20 . That is the only part I hate is having to spend even more money to buy the gadgets to even play . Later , we bought the limited edition 2 controller game on Amazon for $59 and saved $10 . This will be a christmas gift for our niece and nephew . I have seen these advertised in stores with both controllers for $49 . but it is a limited edition and already out of stock ! ! If you can not find the limited edition set , it is worth the $69 to get all you need .

This game is a lot of fun for our household - two college girls . We especially like the ping pong , Frisbee golf , 3 on 3 basketball and the Swordslice game . The sky diving is fun , too , but there are better games . We're not big fans of the cycling , and the canoeing is just hard ! Other people have mentioned the cumbersomeness of the recalibrating , and i have to agree . It does make the game-play more in sync with your own movements , but it's a pain to recalibrate every ten minutes . In Ping pong , you can push the down button , and it recenters you - that's easier and faster than the recalibration . I think they'll make improvements to the wiiMotion device . Overall , we've gotten a lot of use out of the game , and some of them are addicting . If you want a relaxing wii game , one you can play from the couch , this is a good one ! : )

This is just a great game overall . It's much more fleshed out than the original Wii Sports and the resort theme that ties everything together is charming . None of the mini-games are less than fun . Fencing and archery are obvious standouts , but some of the other games like Frisbee and the island flyover are surprisingly addicting ( Nintendo , please give us a Wii Pilotwings game with the island flyover controls ! ) . This is how casual games on the Wii should be done .

WSR is a very fun game with more challenging games than WS . With more challenging games , it is not necessary as intuitive as the regular WS so make sure you practice first . I'd give this game 4.5 stars but didn't feel that I could round up to a full 5 stars . The reason for the - .5 is because the controllers get confused at times and you end up having to reclibrate . Even then , the recalibrating does not necessary fix the problem . I do not think game play has been affected that much by this , just that you look really silly pointing in a different direction ( then again , you already look pretty silly playing this game = P ) .

There are a lot of things I could go into about what I wished they'd included , some stuff that seems like obvious , no-brainer type games . Like more accurate pool . And tennis . But who cares , the first version was brilliant , this one is even better . Golf is actually playable now . Sword fighting is off the chain . Lovin ' frisbee golf . Island fly-over is awesome , love wave riding , even archery is pretty great . But it's worth your money just for better bowling . If you own a Wii , you do it a disservice not to acquire Wii Sports Resort . I want to go to there .

My son has rated this 5 stars . He's 11 . I see him mostly playing the airplane game where you have to find points of interest . I think he found them all so is now on to another game in the resort game .

This really is a great video ! I am 69 years old & my daugter bought me my Wii last year . I really enjoyed the Wii Sport but have to admit , accept for no baseball game , which is my favorite , this is truly a winner . At 69 I am not interested in anything that demands speed or complicated game tricks & this is a video game that you can take at your own speed pretty much . I love the Air Sports & the Frisbee Dog the best . Frisbee , probably because I can't seem to teach my dogs to fitch & the game has such a cute puppy , right down to the entire back end of the dog wiggling back & forth . Basketball I like the least . Golf has a few new twists but not that much different than the original sport video.Over all , I am truly happy w / my new video game . My 47 year old daughter , & not the one who bought me the Wii , came for a visit & wanted to try the Wii . 4 hours later she was still trying to beat my scores . it was so much fun watching her do what I have caught myself doing.Talkng to the game like they were real people.This is my first review & I hope it isn't too long . I have many other Wii games & if anyone enjoys ocean games & wants to just sit back & ejoy a peaceful evening , get the Endless Ocean . It rocks ! ! !

Once you play wii sports resort , you might not want to go back to regular wii sports . Sure , it has the original golf and bowling that you got used to , but there's so much more . When you start the game , you're already playing . You're skydiving and you'll be able to move your person , and link with other skydivers ( which later , you'll find out has an actual goal ) . The game comes with Wii Motion Plus , which has to be used to play the game . So , if you're playing with someone else , you can either share the wiimote ( which probably isn't as fun ) , or you can shell out an additional 20 bucks to buy one for a separate controller . Most of the games require a certain technique which determines how skillful you are in the game .
The controls are a little more intuitive . It doesn't feel like an expansion to wii sports , but rather an entirely different game . If you like wii sports , you'll definitely like this one !

[ Mom hasn't played yet ]
This game is great ! I can't get enough of table tennis , frisbee and archery . My kids can't stop wake boarding and flying over the island .
In real life I'm a pretty good table tennis player and can have a fun time playing with my kids . However when we use paddles and balls it's about family togetherness rather than an actual ' game ' . At some point that may change but for now the Wii actually beats real life . My daughter and I show no mercy and are pretty evenly matched . It's accurate enough with slices and topspin to keep me happy and forgiving enough to keep her happy . We use the motionplus controllers .

Wii Sports Resort
is an excellent family friendly game . Most games have up to four players but a couple are in two player mode . Make sure to pick up extra
Wii MotionPlus
for your Wii remotes , since the game only comes with one . The Wii MotionPlus adapter gives you better accuracy and control of your movements . If during game play the remote is not quite acting the way it should be , all you need to do is lay the remote face down on a flat surface for a couple seconds and it recalibrates it .
The games are fun and we can't stop laughing while playing . Let me to tell you that you do get one heck of a workout though . The graphics are good with vivid colors and you still have your other saved Mii's in the audience cheering you on . You may want to consider purchasing
Wii Sports Resort Pack
which offers 2 Star Sabers , Table Top Racing Stand , Racing Wheel , Jet Ski Handle , and Rubber Grip for a more realistic feel to gameplay .
Since many reviewers and item description have mentioned what games are included , I will give a brief description of my favorites ones . On top of my list is Archery . You use both the nunchuck and remote during gameplay . Holding the remote in your left hand straight up and pulling back with the nunchuck in the other hand like you are really using a bow and arrow . Sounds easy but the game gets progressively harder as you go on . Another one my family loves to play is Swordplay . In Swordplay you use the remote as if you were using a sword . You can even use a block feature by pressing the B button . We laugh like crazy when we play this one and you can get into some really extreme battles . I just love to watch the Mii's fall-over the platform in slow motion ! Canoeing is another fun one to play . You use the remote like you would use a paddle and try to get around the course avoiding obstacles and try beating your opponent to the finish lines . I love crashing into the other canoe and making them get off course . This game will give you one good workout of your arms so be prepared .
Wii Resort is an welcomed added addition to my collection of Wii games . Anyone will enjoy playing this game from the occasional gamer to the hard-core get in your face type of player . Wuhu Island welcomes anyone . : - )

Wii Sports Resort is a fun creative collection of games which remind me of being at summer camp . The graphics here are a lot richer , a huge improvement over Wii Sports and Wii Play . The Motion Plus provides more remote feedback . It does read and project your more subtle wrist movements and that makes games you have seen before , like ping pong , take on new dimensions and are more fun . It makes the whole gaming experience just plain better . There is also a game in here for every mood . Feel like being really active , then paddle a canoe or pick up a sword . Just want sit back and relax ? Go for a flight around the island . Also , these games are fun regardless if you are 1 player or 4 players . They are also fun and easy to learn for any age . The point of every game is obvious if your are 8 or 80 , unlike some of the other games in Sports and Play . This I think makes play for first time Wii users , like Grandparents , less overwhelming , and vastly reduces time needed to explain . It really is family friendly . If you like Wii , then this is a must have .

After having more Wii Sports bowling fun than should be allowed , I was eager to try the new sports in Resort . On the whole , most of the new game modes are incredibly fun , though markedly less so in single player . The new games really showcase the capabilities of the MotionPlus peripheral . The spatial control afforded by the device is really impressive and the potential for some amazing play experiences in the future are apparent . . . which brings me to my point . . .
while fun , none of the events stand out as particularly amazing . Mostly because there simply isn't much depth to the events in wii Sports Resort . Considering that the title has the price of a full-fledged A + title , Nintendo really could've and should've hit the ball out of the park by including online multiplayer or at the very least , online leaderboards . If you are the most skilled in your household , you'll find little reason to keep trying to better your score . It really needed to be opened up to a global level of competition . I do not expect Xbox live levels of internet integration but if Nintendo can do a decent online with Mario Kart , they could've easily done it with this title .
All that said , if you're into accessible and fun party-esque games , it's a no-brainer . Even if you're not , the title deserves serious consideration .

Great game for parties - it's pretty quick to get the game up and going and offers handful game options compared to the original Wii Sports . Our family enjoys the multi player action game offers . Like the little extras in the game too like the secret targets in archery . Get at additional motion plus so 2 people can play the one-on-one games . . . or 3 : )
We can't figure out why the disc golf is on the golf courses , most of the time you won't find a bunker on a disc golf course . . . but it's still pretty fun to play . . . can't wait to see what other games come out for motion plus .

The Good
- 12 brand new addictive games to play with the whole family . The return of water racing ! I've been a long time Waverace fan and have waited a very long time for a sequel to be release . The graphics aren't as fancy as you'll get on the other game machines , but they are an impovement over the first Wii Sports . Lots of different modes to unlock on the games .
The Bad
- The introduction video is bland and is required the first time you start the game up . It shows you how to insert the Wii Remote into the new Wii MotionPlus sleeve . Anyone can figure it out without the need to waste time watching the video . Also , the lack of any type of online feature is disapointing . By now , Nintendo should be implementing online multiplayer or at least leaderboards into all their titles .

The new controller that comes with this game makes this so much better then the original Wii Sports . It's accurate and it really increases the challenge quite a bit in some games like bowling . the graphics are much better also . I actually enjoy every single game offer in this title , but some are real standouts , like ping-pong , archery and wakeboarding . Must have for all Wii owners .

Most Wii games are garbage and are better on other platforms . This game is what the Wii was made for . It is fun , simple , and uses the Wii controller the way it was designed . The Wii motion plus definitely gives the controller a more accurate feel ( which you can tell when playing bowling and golf , b / c you can compare it to the old Wii sports ) . It is definitely 1 to 1 - - there is no delay like in some other Wii games . I haven't even played every game on here yet , but just what I have played so far makes this games a 5 star game . I love wakeboarding . Bowling is awesome - - I love playing with the barriers , and the spin / accuracy is improved . The three point shootout is fun . The frisbee game is cute . Golf is much improved ( but I still wind up playing Tiger Woods 10 instead ) . Archery is fun . Sword fighting is a blast . Haven't yet played the canoeing , cycling or the power racing games yet . This game is a must have for the Wii .

Golf is much improved ( but I still wind up playing Tiger Woods 10 instead ) . Archery is fun . Sword fighting is a blast . Haven't yet played the canoeing , cycling or the power racing games yet . This game is a must have for the Wii .

This is a great follow up to Wii Sports . Like many of the Nintendo games , it seems less of a full fledged game than a fantastic thought experiment as to one might really do with this new set of controls . Still waiting for people to follow up on Nintendo's lead and really exploit the technology . But in the meantime , I'll have loads of fun on this , especially the sword fighting game - does not disappoint . Archery was much more engaging that I had expected , and the flight game is cute in a leisurely sort of way - flight simulator for people who don't want to bother learning anything tricky .

I don't usually rush right out and buy a game immediately but I did with this one and I am very glad . We are recently experiencing a heat wave and it is always a challenge to find something that we can all do indoors without just staring at the tv . I found that this game has a great variety of games that should entertain most people - we especially love the frisbee golf . This is a game that even my hubby ( who doesn't really do video games ) was able to play and have fun with . The only real downfall is that you have to have a motion sensor plus for each person and that can add up to a chunk of change . I would like to see Nintendo incorporate that into there every day controller so there are not so many add ons - it also makes me wonder how long it will last if you are always plugging and unplugging it - all for the game though - it is definitely 2 thumbs up !

I purchased this game right away and we have been having a blast playing it . My 4y / o daughter only has problems with a few games ( the jet ski game and archery ) but loves the cycling . All the games are challenging yet fun . We ran out and bought a second motion plus so we can compete against each other . My 8 year old loves the sword play . The golf is a bit harder than the regular Wii sports golf , the bowling definitely has a different feel than the traditional bowling . I am so surprised at how much the motion plus picks up with this game . It really is a great game for everyone .

This has been a great addition to our collection of Wii games . The upgraded golf has kept my husband just as engaged as the real game . With the new Wii motion added to the controller , the games have been brought to a new level . I have been using some of the games in my rehab program from surgery . I needed to improve my arm muscles and I found the archery game perfect . This game has provided hours of enjoyment . I highly recommend Wii Sports Resort .

Wii Sports Resort ( Video Game )
I'm an adult gamer who mostly plays PS3 games , but lately I have been spending all of my time playing the 2 new tennis games and Tiger Woods golf for the Wii . All 3 of those games are 5 star games IMO .
I was hesitant about buying Wii Sports Resort ( especially after spending money on the other 3 ) , because I've been told that it isn't much fun as a one player game . I haven't gotten past the basketball or bicycling yet , because these 2 minigames are incredible . I usually ride my stationary bike when I play games , such as Wii Sports and Virtua Tennis 2009 . The Sports Resort bicycling is an absolute joy to play while riding a stationary bike . It's Wii Fit's running with the hands essentially . Personally , I think Wii Fit's strongest game was running around the island , but now I can bike around the island . The game takes a lot of skill because you must refresh your energy by riding behind other bikers , and once your energy is refreshed you start pedaling as fast as you can until you run out of energy behind the next biker . The island is absolutely breathtaking and is as beautiful as the Wii Fit island .
The other game I love is the basketball , and takes a lot of skill because the motion control is 1 : 1 . The only disappointment with Wii Sports Resort is that with most Wii games , and that's an online mode . I would love to pickup a bicycle race and win a trophy against other real human players . I'm not sure there would be much of a market for that , but since this game sold so many copies , I think it might be a real possibility .

Wii Sports Resort ( Video Game )
My copy of Sports Resort arrived this week but last night was the first opportunity to try it out and explore it a bit . All I've done so far are three of the twelve games - bowling , Frisbee toss , and the floatplane .
The Motion Pluss accessory ( included with Sports Resort ) is a very noticeable but then very transparent upgrade to Wii motion control . It's noticeable in that the control with the Wiimote is immediately much more precise and accurate . The best thing for Nintendo to do would be to integrate these new electronics into the standard Wiimote instead of making it into an add-on piece with a new silicone sleeve . Just an opinion , though . The fact is that control is much better now . And it's totally transparent in that all you notice is how much better the control is . Everything else is the same - you use it the same , hold it the same , etc .
My hands-down favorite Wii Sports game is bowling . I don't need the Wii Sports CD any more now that I have Sports Resort . The bowling game is the same - but better . ( Possible theme ? ) It's only a preliminary assessment after bowling a few games , but people used to Wii Bowling will be right at home in the Sports Resort version though dressed a bit more casually . I tried a game without ever repositioning or aiming my line - bowling strictly with spin . Didn't do * that * well but there is tons more control .
The Frisbee toss game is very cool . When first starting out , you have a little brown dog that loves to play catch . You toss the Frisbee at various specified targets and the dog tries to catch it . You'll have to see this one in previews as I doubt my description will do it justice . It's fun . And it also does a great job of mimicking throwing a Frisbee . And please be sure the wrist strap is in use because people will have to fight the tendency to actually throw the Wiimote . Play this ( or any of the games ) on a big screen TV and you canhave a LOT of fun !
A couple of aerial games I was not expecting to see were skydiving and flying the floatplane . Neither is a very active activity , but both are extreme for showing off the new control you have with the Motion Plus accessory . You'll have to see and try them for yourself to see what I mean . The only thing annoying with the floatplane is the timer keeps running out and I have to start over . I'm assuming I'm just missing a way to power up and keep flying but even with all the restarts , it's fun and really shows off the graphics and concept of the Sports Resort collection .
That's as far as I've gotten with it , but I think Nintendo has another winner . Like Wii Sports , I also think Sports Resort is going to sell a lot of consoles for them . What I have seen so far is very entertaining and very well done . No clunkers yet .
One bad thing about the Wii is there are too many game publishers that have put out very poor games and charge an arm and a leg for them . Wii Sports Resort is definitely not in that category ( IMHO ) . I can easily recommend it . I think kids will especially love it but as an adult ( mostly ; - ) , I also find it a lot of fun .

Wii Sports Resort ( Video Game )
This little game is a hit after playing it with my little brother ( 6 1 / 2 ) , parents , and sister . Our consensus was that this game delivers great controls ( 1 : 1 ratio ) and better games than Wii Sports . It seems like the Nintendo folk just took Wii Sports 1 , mixed it up ( ping pong replaces tennis , swordplay replaces boxing , frisbee golf replaces golf ( although golf is on the game ) and bowling is still there . Baseball seemed to be the one lacking sport that would have most benefitted from enhanced controls , although I assume it is replaced by Basketball ) , and added better controls . The addon is great : it matches your movement perfectly ( what the original wiimote should have done ) and really lets you get that perfect spin in ping pong , get that frisbee to where you do ( or don't ) want it , and let that d * mn basketball rim out on EVERY shot . A definite buy that will be an investment when all games require motion plus . Also , the games that I didn't mention seem to me to just be fillers that I kind of ignore but are still fun . Except archery . that's not a filler .
NUTSHELL : Buy it .

Wii Sports Resort ( Video Game )
When the Wii launched it came with a game called Wii Sports . Wii Sports was actually a pretty fun game that showed people just what the Wii could do . The game itself was an okay game , but managed to be a good game to bring out during parties . Bowling , Tennis and Golf in particular were some fun games to play . A few months later Wii Play came out and it wasn't exactly the follow up people thought of when they thought of Wii Sports . Well , now we have Wii Sports Resort , and this time it does feel like a follow up to Wii Sports . If you liked Wii Sports , there's no guarantee you'll like this one .
Wii Sports Resort uses mostly the Wii Motion Sensor Plus to do its work . It comes with a Wii Motion Sensor Plus if you don't already have one . There are more games here , with two of them coming directly from Wii Sports ( Bowling and Golf ) and having new motion sensor plus stuff thrown in there for good measure .
So what is there to do with Wii Sports Resort ? Well , there are quite a few new games , some of which are fun , others may not be as satisfactory . As you might expect , your mileage may vary . There are games like Frisbee , where you can practice your throwing and accuracy and even play a type of frisbee golf . This is one of the nice things about Wii Sports Resort , that there are a few other games located within the games themselves .
Wii Motion Plus can be a little sensitive , however . With games like Frisbee and Golf , it can be really sensitive . The waggle of the Wii Remote in the first game was quite sensitive . Bowling , however , has been noticeably enhanced by Wii Motion Plus .
But you're still getting games where wagging might be enough to win . Swordplay comes to mind , as sometimes winning is as simple as just wagging the remote constantly . Yet , for what it's worth , you're getting a good package of games . The water sports games are among the best in the lot . Some don't actually require Wii Motion Plus , and they can see you doing some really weird things from time to time . Wake boarding is easily the greatest addition here . It's the most fun and open of all the game . There's also basketball which is a little fun to play , and probably makes some of the best use of Wii Motion Plus .
There's also archery which is simple to learn and actually quite fun , despite that it doesn't have you moving around as much as the other games might . So while it isn't quite as active it is still a lot of fun .
That's not to say there are no games that are no fun . Cycling is not very much fun at all . Everything is worth checking out at least once in Wii Sports Resort , but cycling may be something you won't find yourself coming back to time and time again . You'll pedal using the Wii Remote and Nunchuck , but it feels more like a chore than anything .
On the other hand , at least you're getting a good set of games . Even though they're relatively short . If there was any major problem with Wii Sports Resort , it would be the same problem Nintendo faces with almost all of their multiplayer games . It's fun to play with other people , but it's a drag by yourself . And while there's multiplayer here , it's also quite sad that much of it is on a take turns basis . Most people can't all play at the same time on most of the games . It's a great social tool , at least , but it still stands that by yourself Wii Sports Resort just isn't going to be all that much fun to play at all .
The graphics look exactly the same as before . Wii Sports wasn't exactly a looker to begin with , and here it's not really different . It's pretty plain and basic looking . There was almost no improvement . You get to see different environments , but aside from all that , it's still the same basic graphics . But at least you'll have fun .
In the end , Wii Sports Resort can be a fun game . . . provided you're playing with friends . Most of the new games are a lot of fun to play and it maintains the simplicity of the first Wii Sports , which is very nice . So anyone can pick up and play and get involved . It's not much for presentation , but at least it's fun and that's all that matters .

Wii Sports Resort ( Video Game )
Wii Sports Resorts is fun . It has the options and variety Wii Sports lacked . The Wii Motion Plus is terrific and makes controls tight and responsive . No wand-mashing . Enjoy basketball , archery , swordplay , air sports and table tennis the most . Be warned the game has little to no depth . For instance , in basketball you can only shoot , dunk , pass , steal and block . You can't even rebound . However , that's not why I gave it four stars ( after all I listed basketball as one of my favorite games ) . It received four stars because there's no tennis . It's a resort after all ! What sport , besides golf , is more associated with resorts than tennis ?
The air sports are a little Wii Play-ish but nonetheless you still have a lot to do and see ( again I picked it as one of my favorite games ) . If you want a really fun pick-up-and-play game , this is it .

bought this for my wife and I as a Valentine's day present . We received the Wii for X-mas and have had a lot of fun with it . Enjoy Wii Resort as well , although once you reach pro level in Kendo it becomes increasingly frustrating as the opponents become impossible to beat . You'll win one and then they'll win the next two over and over again .
Frisbee is fun and kinda relaxing as well as archery although archery requires timing rather than any real accuracy in aiming . My wife LOVES Kendo and she's quite good at golf .
The controls are a little to motion sensitive for power cruising in my opinion.Overall , its a fun addition to the Wii canon .

Wii Sports Resort is fun , but unfortunately after playing it for a little less than an hour I felt like I had done all there was to do . The game is as shallow as can be , there's no story , no depth or reason to any of the mini-games . It's just a menu , and a handful of games , and that's it . Some games are fun , others feel way too gimmicky and aren't very responsive . The graphics are beautiful if a bit simple . Great colors , and the island setting is lovely . One thing I really hate about this game is the loading . For games that are so simple , and over so quick you have to sit through way too many loading screens , island panning camera shot intros , warnings about wrist straps , warnings about remote gloves , warnings about seizures . . . it goes on and on ! You end up sitting through about 3 mins of warnings and loading screens to play a mini game that lasts 2 mins . It's very tiring . If you're playing a game as simple as Wii Sports Resort everything should be instant in , instant out .
Ultimately , I found this game pretty disappointing , especially at $50 . The price tag wouldn't have been so bad if the Wii Motion Plus was actually being utilized by more Wii games , or if this game had more depth to it , but it's not and it doesn't . There are only a handful of other games that use the accessory , and most of them are not very good at all . Nintendo has really been cranking out a lot of under utilized accessories for the Wii , and that's very disappointing . Note to Nintendo : I don't want or need any more piece of white plastic in my house for your system , I need more first party games ! hat's not to say that there isn't fun to be had with Wii Sports Resort , but don't expect to hold your interest for very long , especially if you don't have a friend or two to play with . . .

This is a great family game ! The first night we bought it we ended up playing it for 4 hours straight . A big plus to this game is that there is something for everyone . My favorite was the archery-it felt realistic ! My husband loved the cycling . With so many choices of games you can play for hours without getting bored !

This is the reason why the Wii is so widely popular . Relatively simple game constructs but great use of the Wii remote and the new Motion + technology to deliver intuitive fun game play for the whole family . We have 15 + games for the Wii and Wii Sports was the most played game until now . . .
Hard core gamers should give it a pass but pretty much everyone else on the planet will have a blast .

This is a great way to spend some time with friends and family .
None of the games are worthy of being featured seperately , but togther they make for hours of enjoyment .
The Motion Plus is neat , but the game comes with only one so you will need to buy at least one more . It does not make the controller noticeably heavier or hard to hold .

Sports Resort is an awesome collection of games that the whole family can enjoy . There is a wide variety of activities that is endless entertainment and one that we always end up coming back to play together . The motion plus really adds an amazing amount to the games , making it more fun and challenging , but nothing you cant get used to quickly . Another great thing is that the activities on here combined with the motion plus in a wide range of motions that a wide range of ages can play . About the only activity on here I dont like is the ping-pong . The motion plus are so sensitive , that any quick movent ( i.e . trying to flip your paddle over to go from a forehand to a backhand shot ) results in the player swinging the paddle instead of flipping around . . resulting in missing the ball coming at you if it has any speed to it . I just avoid that game and enjoy the rest .
Only suggestions I could come up with this game ( other than nix the ping pong ) are the need for online play and a fitness level tracker like on the original sports series !
Best game out ther IMO and I'd pay 2X what they ask for it .

A lot of fun if you are trying to kill an hour or so . . . other than that it isn't as much of a workout for me as say the boxing and baseball are on the first wii sports but cycling and swordplay definately make up for it . and if you are in love with wii sports bowling you will love the wii sports resort bowling . much more realistic and sensitive .

Wii Sports Resort's is so much fun . . . my kids love it ! They play every weekend ! They have the most fun with swordplay As a family , we all play the bowling , golf , wake boarding & frizbee . . . it's just a lot of fun . The only thing that bites is we cannot use our secound remote w / o another Wii MotionPlus accessory . . . so we are only using one remote at this time . . . but am going to purchuse another MotionPlus for more fun .

This Game is really fun for the whole family ! I got this for Christmas in 2009 and I LOVED IT ! Basketball and Swordplay were my favs . My Best-friend likes basketball and wakeboarding . Whenever she comes over we play all day ! The Wii Motion Plus is pretty cool but makes it a little harder ( but more challenging ) especially in bowling . I love the Golf more than on Wii Sports and the plane flying is fun and challenging to find all the I points . I recommended it to my friend and she plays it alot now . You should get it if you like sporty games . IT ROCKS !

I played the game at my sister's house for Christmas . We did boys versus girls and we kicked butt . It was fun , so I decided to purchase my own copy . I didn't get to scan through all the games while at my sister's but had expected there to be more . I was somewhat disappointed to find the limited amount of games . Don't get me wrong , the games on there are great , and I still really like my Wii Sports Resort . However , I received it in the mail and played through most of them with my husband the same night in like two or three hours . Granted we didn't play every single mode of basketball , for example , but we sampled one of each game , got bored , and turned it off . It's an awesome game for company . I'll be taking this game out whenever I have visitors .

Therefore , I will keep this short by simply saying this game is much better than Wii Sports . The Wii Plus add-on makes a big difference also because it makes your movements more accurate . The wide variety of games should please most players . Overall I would recommend this game .
