Editorial Review:
Product Description:
Amazon.co.uk Review - Wii Sports:
In a nutshell:
As if the idea of five games in one package didn't sound a good enough deal on its own the Wii's best multiplayer compendium comes free with the console.
The lowdown:
Clearly realising that they need to provide some quick and obvious reasons why the Wii Remote is such a good idea Nintendo have packed in this compilation with the console, which includes simple versions of tennis, golf, baseball, bowling and boxing. The four player tennis game is the obvious stand out as you swing the Remote exactly as you would a real tennis racket, with the game seeming to almost magically interpret your movements into the game. All the other games work in a similar way, as you hold the Remote like a golf club or ready it like a baseball bat - you can even use it to gently roll bowling bowls and add some subtle aftertouch. The graphics make be purposefully basic but these are the games to instantly prove why the Wii is going to be such a revolution.
Most exciting moment:
While even Wii Tennis can be played with very minor movements of the Wii Remote the boxing game actively encourages you to act things out properly. You hold up both the Remote and the nunchuck to simulate your two hands and then duck and weave as you switch between trying to pummel your opponent and dodging or blocking their own attacks.
Since you ask:
You can use your own customised Mii Channel character in any of the games for that personal touch. The idea was originally just a joke featuring caricatures of Nintendo's top brass for a press conference, but it proved so popular that Nintendo ensured anyone could make their own character to play with.
The bottom line:
Five of the best games on the Wii and they all come free with the console!-HARRISON DENT

- BRILLIANTThis is a great piece of kit. Kids love it. On its own it would become boring but with the addition of Wii Fit and various great games we bought as well this has become a great series of games. We limit the use for our children and when the weather is like it is today -10, they can still play and exercise inside. Really impressed. Be selective with the games though, just because it is a well known play name does not make it good. Read the reviews. It does help.

- Great Console!Great console and some of the games for it are ace! The unique nunchuk and wiimote controls are fantastic and really allow a lot of games to become more interactive, especially Wii Sports.
The console is fantastic for the family to get together and join in, especially for Wii Sports which is included with the console. The only compromise is that it only comes with 1 set Wiimote + Nunchuk and some games really are great for multiple players (such as family) so you'll have to go forking ... Read More

- Yes it's fun, but....The Wii is nothing like as good as it should be and not an alternative to the PS3 or Xbox 360. This is not a viable media hub or `set-top box'.
Why?
The graphics support is truly cheap and nasty; which is why the Wii doesn't support DVD payback, despite being built around a DVD drive. I've replaced the supplied composite media cable with Venom's RGB scart, giving a better picture but still pants compared to a grown-up games console. The picture migrates across the screen as ...

- You have GOT to get one.Plugged it in 26th Dec and we have no watch no TV since. A fantastic game for ALL the family.
Its easy to use, plug it in and go. The games are great fun. At last the video game producers have developed a game that can be used for the whole family in the family room rather than having the teen hide out in the bedroom.
Another plus is the fact it keeps you very active, and will make you laugh so much. Its gots to be good.

- Oh, my achin' agin' anteriors!!Santa dropped this off at our house the other day, and I'm pretty sure he had a smile on his ruddy face when he did it. "I'll teach those bleedin' couch potatoes", he said with a laugh. "Ho Ho Ho", and off the old jelly belly flew, with his sleigh full of Wii related accoutrements for sedentary families around the world.
Having the good fortune to have a semi-geek in the house, the Wii thing was soon set up in the kid's bedroom, and after 5 hours I thought I should check on the adult kid ... Read More
