 Lot's and Lot's of fun September 1, 2010

I didn't think so simple games could be so great. Great playing with other people but stillreally good by yourself because of the scoring system like wii sports you've always got a challenge. Lots of different games and some old ones (bowling and golf + table tennis instead of tennis). Each game as at least 2 versions/coarse of the game on it. Its good fun keeps you occupied for ages and with 12 games there must be at least 2 games for you
 Not Worth the Price August 18, 2010
J. Barnes (Van BC)
Well, it came with the Wii so I didn't have to pay extra but it is boring and silly. I guess for family fun it may be OK as my nieces love it but for me it just is plain boring. The graphics are plain bad. Of course I never liked pong much either so there you have it.

I got this game included in the sale special with the Wii hardware. Although it's fun, it gets pretty boring after a while, specially since the play options are extremely limited for each of the games. I think it's a great tool for getting the hang of how to use the remove, the motion plus, etc., but I definitely would not recommend it for an experienced Wii player unless it was for very young kids
One Of The Best Wii Games In My Opinion May 6, 2010

Wii Sports as you probably know is the game that comes with the Nintendo Wii console when you buy it, seeing how much people enjoyed playing Wii sports Nintendo wanted to capitalize on its success by releasing another Wii Sports game. There`s certainly nothing wrong with that approach because this new Wii Sports Resort improves on the original game in more ways than one. In Resort you can select from 12 sports games to play, including 10 new games like Basketball and Frisbee or the improved Bowling and Golfing games. You also get a Wii-MotionPlus that goes on your Wiimote with the game, you will probably want to pick up another or a few more depending on how many Wiimotes you have but I`ll tell you right away you can`t play the game without it. If you think you`ve played this game before because you played Wii Sports think again, it`s not the same as you play different sports and each game has different controls and there are more games here than Wii Sports had.
The new games are Table Tennis, Cycling, Sky-Diving, Basketball, Canoeing, Frisbee, Swordplay, Archery, Wakeboard and power cruising. All make great use of the MotionPlus on the Wiimote which is a good thing, you don`t feel like you paid for something extra that won`t get used with this game. My favorites out of these mini-games as I call them are Basketball, Bowling, Swordplay and Cycling, there are so great games and some so-so games but everyone has their favorites out of the selection. I spent many hours playing Wii Sports Resort and it`s always a challenge to me! One thing I really liked is that in this Wii Sports once you`ve played each games you can unlock other categories for the same game ex; after playing bowling you unlock the 100 pins bowling and so on, there is a lot to unlock for these 12 game they will keep you busy for a while before you complete everything.
The MotionPlus was first introduced with Wii Sports Resort, I have to say it works very well and it does make the Wiimote a more precise controller and it`s very interesting. My only problem with it is that they get you to buy this great game with the MotionPlus, you are likely to get more of those for your controllers at around $20 each only to realize that you can only use MotionPlus for a few games including Wii Sports Resort. I wish that more Wii games could make use of it because unless I play Resort or one of the very few games (which are mostly sports) using the MotionPlus it`s practically collecting dust. MotionPlus is definitely fun so it`s unfortunate that there are not many games supporting it.
There are many great Wii games out there (even if there are many not so great games as well!) and I feel that this is one of those great games. Is it better than the original? Well I kinda miss boxing and tennis from Wii Sports to be honest (they will keep me playing this game) and wish that Nintendo would have come up with improved version like they did for bowling on Wii Sports Resort but overall I think it`s a better game than Wii Sports is. It`s another hit for Nintendo`s Wii, another great game that can be played by the whole family that is non-violent, entertaining an provides exercise (some game make you work more than others but it`s not as intense as one of the fitness game for the Wii but it still makes you move!) what more could you ask? I would say it`s an improvement on the original though there wasn`t much to improve in the first place, if you have a Wii strongly consider getting this for your game collection it will be worth it and hours will be spent playing it which is not a bad thing because of the exercise it gives you! 5 stars all the way!

I haven't bought this game,but have rented it twice. The only games my family and I really enjoyed were the sword fights and the table tennis. I found some of the games tricky and didn't seem to interest us. I'm glad I didn't put out the 60 plus dollars and and extra wii motion for just two games.
