Yeah, like there is absolutely no difficulty playing these games. Its feels more like something you buy for your eight year old nephew so he has something to do when he comes over.

Looks like good fun, overall. The basketball doesn't look so good though, in my opinion.

To me, it looks like only some of the games in Wii Sports: Resort will only last more than one playthrough.

Did these guys play the first Wii Sports? Everything they said about the bowling was in the first game. The 100 pin game was a variation of a training game on the first game, and I can curve the shit out of a bowling ball in the first one. 

i'll probably pick this up because my fiancee loves this stuff, and I'll probably play it quite a bit. I put a ton of hours into the first Wii Sports, because, for some reason, I love mini games.

It's obvious from their commentary that they played the first one. They even said they think the 100 pin game was in the first one. And about the curving: the point of wii motion plus is that the curving feels way more accurate instead of you trying to trick the wii into making the curve you want.

For wii quicklooks where you show the players next to the footage, i really suggest you mirror the player footage. It's weird trying to connect your hand motions to whats going on on screen.

Great QL though. Not 100% sold on the swordfighting, but i guess it's a "you have to try it yourself kinda deal

i sold my week 2 months after i bought it, and had played it once after purchase night. i am now going to go buy a wii again. i wanna play basketball! i can see myself getting totally carried away, and jumping in the air dunking like im dwight howard, or jumping in the air and shooting thinking im ray allen lol. However, i have to say that jeff doesn't really seem the sporty or co-ordinated type. Not trying to take a jab at them or anything, there's no reason to expect video game reviewers to be sports athletes, or anything like that, just that i saw jeff go for the forehand, when the ball was on the backhand side and vice versa numerous times in table tennis lol. That being said, great quick look guys! im gunna have to scrape some money together to get a wii again!

Bowling looks exactly the same as in Wii Sports. Exactly. You could do all the wrist twisting and 100 pins and spin control stuff. They should've done something crazy with it to justify bringing it back. At least like 1000 pins.

Dam, that wakeboarding mini-game looks sooooooooooooo boring. The rest look like they would get boring after 1 play. I guess this is the reason I still don't own a wii.

Looks like it would be fun with a group of friends, maybe at a party or something. I kinda wish it had online though, even if it was just against random players. Just so when you don't have friends over you can still get some use out of it.

Looks boring to me, and it still seems like another waggle fest.  I'll wait and see how many future games support Wii motion plus before I go out and buy more Nintendo brand plastic.  That wake-board camera was nauseating.

Oh you poor anachronistic chode. Good graphics =/= power of the hardware. It's ultimately the presentation the used graphics allow, the crispness of the visuals, and the overall cohesiveness of the visual package. Which from the looks of it, this game has. Plus, the small touches like the post-processed glow that Ryan mentioned does look nice.
