    Simple and intuitive fun with a good lasting appeal.

    THE GOOD:
    • Simple and intuitive controls makes it fun to play for almost anyone;
    • Easy to understand simplified sports concepts;
    • Daily fitness and medals add a good value;
    • Fun multiplayer that can be played up to four people;
    • Clean presentation is easy on the eyes;
    • Great sound effects coming for the wiimote speaker;
    • The game is "free" in North America and Europe.

    THE BAD:
    • Simplified gameplay makes it less replayable, because it lacks depth;
    • Motion-sensing controls sometimes don't work very well, especially in boxing;
    • Poor textures and light effects;
    • The soundtracks and sound effects get repetitive after a while, and should have more quality.

    FINAL WORDS:
    Great pack-in with the Wii console. A great game for hardcore gamers to play with their non-gamers friends. A refreshing way to get more people into the gaming world.

      You've probably played this game. Even if you've somehow managed to avoid picking up a Wii all these years, you've undoubtedly seen it at a friend's house or at a store display. Wii Sports is one of those cultural phenomenons that will probably be remembered for decades to come- where kitschy colors & hair metal represent the 80s and hip-hop and The Simpsons represent the 90s, Wii Sports will one day come to represent the 00s. It was just that big."Big", that is, in the sense of popularity. ...
