Wii Sports - 8/10
When my mum purchased for me this game came with it i had no idea what this was so i played it and was really suprised how good this game was here is what i think:
Gameplay: 8
Graphics: 8
Sound: 7
Multiplayer: 10
Controls: 10
Overall: 8 out of 10
You have 5 games to choose from which are: Tennis, Baseball, Ten Pin Bowling, Golf and Boxing
Here is what i think:
Tennis, 3/5: This game is so good that you think your playing real tennis, you use your wii remote as a tennis racquet but should of added single player as well
Baseball, 3/5: Another good game but it's really hard when you guess what type of ball the pitcher is throwing and is also bad is when the ball is high in the air and the fielder catches it everytime and never drops out of the fielders hand
Ten Pin Bowling, 5/5: Well i'm a bowler myself in a local league so i really luv this one, the sound is phenominal and so realistic when you get a strike and the pins go boom!!!
Golf, 1.5/5: Golf is never my kind of game but i tried it and couple of times later i was really bored but what really pisses me off is when ur really close to the hole and you putt it and it goes too far
Boxing, 3.5/5: Boxing really gives my arms a workout from all of the punching but it's annoying how when i hook or jab it goes in a different direction
Training: Training helps you improve your skills in every game with different activities for each sport in each training activity you earn 4 different medals there are Platinum, Gold, Silver and Bronze it depends on your score i'll go through them
Tennis:
Returning Balls: in this activity, your trainer serves the ball to you and you have to hit back the game ends when you don't return the ball properly
Timing your swing: in this activity, your trainer serves you the ball and you have to try and hit it into the orange bar, the games ends when you miss the orange bar or don't return it to the orange bar
Target Practice: in this activity, you have to hit the ball into the target which is on the brick wall, you have to pace yourself and not rush otherwise you'll get a bad score or if you hit the brick wall too much you can create and opening and the game will end if u hit it through the opening or double bounce
Baseball:
Hitting Home Runs: in this activity, the pitcher will serve 10 balls, and you have to try and hit a home run or hit it out of the park, an out of the park is better than a home run and has more distance so try to get more of them as possible
Swing Control: in this activity the field is divided into 3 coloured sections white, light-blue and dark-blue The pitcher will serve 10 balls. You have to try and hit it into on of the 3 coloured zones to get a point white gives ou the least points, light-blue a bit more and darkblue is the best
Batting Practice: in this activity, The picher will serve 30 balls, increasing the speed and serving different kinds of balls. You have to hit as many as you can, please note that foulballs or strikes will not score you points.
Ten Pin Bowling:
Picking Up Spares: in this activity, all you have to do is knock down the remaining pins on the alley, You start off 5 balls, if don't manage to knock all the pins down on a particular alley you will lose a ball. When you run out of all of the 5 balls the game will end
Power Throws: In this activity, there are 10 sets of pins, on the firs one ther is 10 pins, the socond 15, the third 21, and so on all the way up to 91 pins You have to knock down as many pins as you can, stikes double you score. eg: Say you got a strike on the 5 lane, instead of getting 46 you double it if you can't get a 91 pin strike there's a cheat you can do it will take time to do it right though
Spin Control: in this activity, Avoid the barriers and knock down the pins, that's all you have to do here! You start off 5 balls, if don't manage to knock all the pins down on a particular alley you will lose a ball. When you run out of all of the 5 balls the game will end
Golf:
Putting: in this activity, Hit the ball in the hole from a short distance, that's all there is to this training session. Oh there one chatch, You start off 5 balls, if don't manage to get the ball into the hole you will lose a ball. When you run out of all of the 5 balls the game will end.
Hitting The Green: in this activity, There are 10 sections In each one all you have to do is hit the green from a certain distance. you get bonus points if you actually hit the ball in the hole.
Target Practice: in this activity, There are 2 sets of targets, one is in the lake and is closer, but if you hit the ball there you will score less points, so I suggest you go for the far away one. You have 10 shots, you have to try and hit the ball to one of the targets in those 10 shots, always check the wind direction before shooting, it can really screw up all your plans.
Boxing:
Working the bag: in this activity, Here you have 1 minute to knock as many bags of their chains as you can. try doing fast punches and different combinations.
Dodging: in this activity, You Have 1 minute to dodge as many balls as you can. Simply move the Wii Remote and Nunchuck to a side when your trainer throws the balls at you, if you get hit by the ball a point is subtracted from your total score, so don't get hit
Throwing punches: in this activity, Your trainer will hold up either his right, left or both mits, and you have to hit them without hitting your trainer. You have 1 minute to hit his mits as many times as you can, don't hit the trainer or else points will subtracted from your final score
Overall: 8/10
