    A poem

    Wii Sports, Wii Sports, you rue my life
    How you have plagued these days with smite
    Into the abyss I should throw
    This damn broken motion controls

    When I bring the Wii to parties
    Other games I bring just get teased
    No More Heroes gets sold short
    And Monkey Ball passed for Wii Sports

    Wii Sports, Wii Sports, makes parties lame
    When we take turns on the bowling game
    These fake gutterballs make no sense
    When a real alley has a liquor license

    With a tennis game that’s shallow
    Amusement sinks to a new low
    For baseball, the programmers should yield
    And let players control the outfield

    For pitching controls rarely work
    And batting seems to have some quirks
    Plus it burns retinas to see
    A field not of dreams but Miis

    I can’t complain much when I realize
    Wii Sports gives fat kids exercise
    Moving their arms, make swishing sounds
    As they play through all three Golf rounds

    But golf isn’t as fun as it could
    Why play as a Mii when there’s Tiger Woods
    But at least Wii Golf isn’t as bland
    As the worst Sports game in the land

    Fragile as a butterfly
    Inconsistent as a bee
    Figuring out the boxing controls
    Would dumbfound Muhammad Ali

    Sometimes you punch, sometimes you duck
    The controls for Boxing flat out suck
    Should’ve warned players the Wii’s a sham
    Yet 40 million sold across the land

    Though I have enough class to say
    I’d rather this be bundled than Wii Play
    But 2 stars is what you will find
    For the most overplayed game of all time

    2 stars

      It's fun, but in hindsight, it's insubstantial 0

      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. ...

      Good Bundle for the Wii 0

      Game play The gameplay is well made this game is all about motion-control and about movements example if you play tennis you need to do the forehand move,backhand and the SERVE wich can be pretty fun.If you play golf you can actually control the movements that you do.All the sports that this game has is bowling,golf,tennis,baseball,and boxing of course is the hardest because you need to do quick movements.Graphics The graphics are surprising the tennis courts in the game looks real and etc..Soun...
