Wii play. It comes with a free wii-mote and 9 games. Are the games lame? Are they wicked sweet? Or do they totally flop over on the floor? You'll find out in this review!
Gameplay
Really this game is just minigames that are made to show you what the wii-mote can do. Its alot like wii sports in controls and style. The game usess Miis, which puts a great flaver to the game. One thing that toatally sucks is that there is only 1 game at start. This quikly ended for me becuse i got all the games in 45 minitues. Here are the games.
Table Tennis - This game is, basicly, a game of Pong, hitting the ball back and forth by moving the Wii remote. The Mii characters are all there, and are represented by the audience. As the game progresses, the audience grows larger, much like tennis in Wii sports. The player controls the position of their paddle with the Wii remote pointer, no swing or hit motion is used though ball direction can be altered slightly by moving the remote left or right while hitting the ball. This really could have had better phsics apllyed to it, but it was fun for a time. The person farthest from the screen always had a hard time...it was just weird to move the wii-mote foward and have the ball come at you.
Laser Hockey - Played like air hockey, this is a two player game where the players move the Wii remote to deflect shots and try to score in the opponents goal. Aiming with the Wii remote moves the rectangular paddle around the field, while twisting the Wii remote can angle the paddle to deflect shots in any direction. According to developers, the physics engine used to calculate the velocity and position of the shots is extremely advanced, with Shigeru Miyamoto even stating that it rivaled the Havok physics engine in its realism. But, it didn't seem as good as they made it seem.
Fishing - Players use the Wii remote as a fishing rod, to hook specific paper fish and then yank upwards to grab them. The Wii remote pointer is used to move the rod around, downward and upward motions sink/raise the fishing hook in and out of the water. Different points are added and subtracted depending on the fish caught. A display at the top of the screen shows which fish gives bonus points if caught, and changes every 30 seconds or so. This was...ok...It still isn't as good as Zelda fishing, but its ok.
Find Mii - Crowds of Mii characters will gather on the screen (standing, swimming, walking and doing other things) and the player is given certain details to look for among them. The player then must pick out the proper Miis that matches the objective. The objectives range from picking two or three Miis that are identical, to picking the fastest Mii, or the odd Miis out (doing things that other Miis aren't). One word, BORING!! Were's waldo was not made to be a game!
Pose Mii - A player must move his Mii to falling bubbles using the Wii remote pointer. The player must also rotate his Mii to the correct angle of the bubble by rotating the Wii remote. In addition to this, as the game progresses, the poses inside the bubbles change, and the player must select the correct pose (out of 3 total). When a Mii is correctly posed in a bubble, it bursts. If a bubbles is not burst and it eventually falls to the floor, the game is over.This basicly was just as boring as the obove one.
Shooting - Players go through various rounds of shooting balloons, targets, clay pigeons, cans and UFOs. There are targets that have the faces of the player's Mii's which give points when the opponent's Mii is shot. Ducks drawn in the style of the ducks from Duck Hunt also occasionally fly by. This was more fun then the obove and had style. It still could have been better!
Billiards - Players play 9 Ball Billiards like traditional pool games. Players line up their shot in both an overhead 2D and behind-the-ball style 3D viewpoints. They may aim for contact on the cue ball at any point to add spin or bounce or a weird angle. They pull the cue stick (Wii remote) backwards, then hit it forward to launch the ball. All in all this was fun but glichy. Needs better phsics.
Charge! - The player rides a cow by holding the Wii Remote sideways, and topples scarecrows to score points. The Wii Remote is also tilted forward to increase speed, and backward to decrease speed. The player must also jump barriers by jolting the Wii remote upwards as if jumping. The cows arelly wat made this game fun. Nothing is funnyer then seeing a Mii flopping around on a cow!
Tanks! - The player aims on a target and fires shells. Shells can rebound off walls once. Mines can also be placed that destroy all tanks within a certain radius. The aim of the game is to destroy enemy tanks while avoiding being destroyed yourself. There are 20 missions initially but after achieving a gold medal by completing the first 20 missions, the player may play through again to find that there are now 100 missions with more different types of enemy tanks to battle against. There is a multiplayer mode on this as the player both play to gain the most kills but at the same time trying to get through the missions (if the player dies then the game ends and their scores are added up) this makes the game more of a team based rivalry, both helping each other yet competing against each other at the same time. The further the player progresses the more variations in the enemy tanks are revealed, enemy tanks gain attributes like firing rockets, having the ability to lay mines, firing off more than one shot at a time, having multi-bounce fast rockets or even becoming invisible. This was by far the funnest! I've heard people say it sucks but it was pretty fun in the end!
GAMEPLAY-4.5/10
OVERALL-4/10
Get this game-The only reason to get this game is becasue it comes with a free wii-mote and its only an extra 10 bucks for the game. It was BORING. i got borad within the first 15 minites of the game. Pose Mii and find Mii were just torcher....This is sooo going back to gamestop.
