I got the game today and I'm very impressed with what the game and the Motion+ has to offer. My top 3 favorite sports are;
1. Swordplay. I especially like the precision cutting.
2. Table tennis. It feels almost the same as real table tennis.
3. And suprisingly canoeing. It gets pretty tricky later on, and is probably the most physically demanding game of the bunch (which I kinda like).
What are your favorite sports?

Take a trip to the tropical Wuhu Island and partake in 12 sports-themed mini-games in this sequel to the popular Wii pack-in game Wii Sports.
Top 3 favorite WSR sports
1. Sword Play. Best use of Motion+. Showdown is freaking crazy!
2. Table Tennis. Needs more features and modes though.
3. Flying the plane. Sorry, but there's something just so calming and peaceful about it.
I agree about canoeing - I figured it would be one of the more lame games, but I find it pretty fun in single player, and BRUTALLY fun in competitive mode. During a party, even more than swordfighting, canoeing races were the most intense and involved.
I also agree about the Island Flyover game. Very cool to just explore and see everything. I like how the game tries to link each sport to another by the island concept; definitely works well to give the sense of a community.
I'd like to spend more time with bike racing, because it's not terribly intuitive. Basketball 3-point contest is fun for small sessions, and Table Tennis is definitely a top sport.
Lastly - if you want an 11-point match in TT instead of 6, just hold the "2" button from the main menu all the way through when the match starts. Strange little cheat to make the game longer.
I agree with you guys that the flying is really cool and relaxing. Though I don't really like the time limit.
1) Sword Fighting (Showdown)
2) Archery
3) Air Sports (Island Flyover)
I think the Sword Fighting and Archery really highlight the strengths of M+ and I find them really enjoyable to play. The Island Flyover is pleasant to play and enjoy trying to discover where all the information points are. I think it would have been great if you could have went online on Air Sports, especially when playing the Dog-Fight option.
TOP
1. Swordfighting hands-down. The three swordfighting modes + stamps are worth the 30 bucks for the game alone.
2. Archery. Was disappointed about the little number of stages, but the stamp challenges make it worth it.
3. Tabletennis. It just works so well, and, again, the stamp challenges keep me going.
MEH
3. Waterski. More annoying than fun, nothing really to "do", and very often you don't really know what you did wrong.
2. Basketball.
1. Cycling. It's no fun. Balance Board support could have made this interesting, but as it is, no.
1. Table Tennis: Just a rock-solid game. I like it when the point goes on for a while and the sound changes.
2. Cycling: Tour de Wuhu or that's what I call it. I find it to be a great challenge of endurance and strategy.
3. Archery: I'm hypnotized by the way the game plays and feels in my hands.
I've gotten to the point with archery where it's pretty difficult to surpass my high scores. Beginner I'm sitting at 111, and it's funny how one bad shot (bad = 7 or less at that point, I guess) puts a high score out of reach. Intermediate I think I'm at 99, thanks to having the last target being across the water, and Expert I'm at 85.
