Wii Sports Resort

Wii Sports has always been the best game on the Wii for me sure if I were to review all the games Mario Galaxy and others may come on top but overall it had to be the best. As soon as anyone wanted to play on the Wii you put it in because thats what people wanted a simple game that made you feel like your swinging a tennis racket or throwing a ball. After a while though people start to notice this isn't really doing what I am hence the biggest apology in history the WiiMotionPlus with Wii Sports Resort.
 
Wii Sports Resort has 10 originaly sports plus bowling and golf returning from the original game. There really isnt a better way to review this game than by going through the sports in turn so lets start with the 2 returning games. Bowling to me seems to gain nothing from the WiiMotionPlus but then again my technique on the original was a little unorthodox but the main change seems to be with the physics of the pins quite simply they dont go down quite as easily. You also get the return of 100 pin games and spin control challenges. Golf on the other hand becomes a lot more difficult but also a lot better. I was always a big fan of the original golf game but now the remote picks up the slightest of twists and so you can quite easily put draw or fade on your ball either way I like it.
 
Air Sports is one of the weaker sections, the sky diving is just a way of showing of the motionplus as well as serving as a fun intro to the game. Flying comes in the form of an over island flight which while incredibly simple is quite relaxing and hunting out points of interest is actually rather fun. You can also dogfight which is a nice game but you will never really go back to it. Cycling is also a poor game you simply flail the remote and nunchuk around and lean to turn but the steering is so unatural you will probably only play it once.
 
Wakeboarding, Canoeing and power cruising make up the water sports and they are all fairly solid. Wakeboarding has you holding the remote sideways and its all about landing level if your board is a bit off you slow down and get no points for your tricks. Power cruising is essentially jet skiing where you have to aim to get through gates with bonus points for smaller loops. You can also boost by jumping at a wave and you turn the remote accelerate. Canoeing gets the award for making you look an idiot and the way it scores you makes absolutely no sense but its a good laugh in a group.
 
Now I am getting to the good stuff. Archery which in my eyes is the best sport in the game involves you holding the remote and pulling the nunchuck backwards. Aiming using the remote picks up every slight movement and takes a lot of skill when you have wind acting and you have to judge the dip of the arrow at long distances. Its just a really good game and is rather addictive. Basketball also has this addicitve nature rewarding you for essentially good timing once you get into a rhythm its quite easy you still always want to do one better. The 3on3 gametype is also a bit of fun but the 3 point contest is the most fun.
 
The last 3 sports are table tennis, Frisbee and sword fighting. Table tennis is just tennis but smaller you also get to put spin on the ball which is noticable and adds a bit to the game making it a lot of fun. Frisbee is a very hard game as you have to try and throw the frisbee at a target for a dog to catch its much more fun when you unlock frisbee golf and its also incredibly hard just like throwing a real frisbee accurately. Sword fighting is a spiritual successor to boxing and is loads of fun its all about blocking and timing your blows just right it really is brilliant and the motion plus shines here.
 
While some of the games are throw aways WiiSports Resort is one of the most fun games on the Wii and shows hopefully how the MotionPlus will change the Wii for the better. If you want to go back to your Wii that may be a bit dusty this is the game to do it have some friends round and have a laugh this game is brilliant.
