Wii Sports Resort

Wii Sports Resort (Wii)

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.
