Wii Play, not so much.

I got this game primarily for the remote that came with it.  We don't really play it that much. I think it is worth the money because you basically get the game for the price of the remote.  Maybe you would use it more but for us our other games are more entertaining.

Nothing wrong with being a game for kids, but I was looking for something a little more adult and challenging. Tough to find on the Wii system.

One of the nice things about the Wii is its ability to elicit movement of game players.  I got this software for my wife who loved working out on the Wii.  Unfortunately, the product did not hold her interest.

The games aren't as easy or fun as expected. I also thought you could play with more than 1 player like taking turns, but it only lets you do that if you have another DS. Also it makes you play against the computer if you are a single player. Not super fun.

We bought our Wii with Wii Sports Resort, and just got Wii Play. Wii Play isn't nearly as fun. The games are OK. My 10 yr old niece likes to play this game more than my husband and I do. I'm still happy I bought it just because it came with an extra remote. Wii Play has a nice variety of games... but I really only like two of them. With all the other games we have that I think are fantastic, I don't think we'll be using this one very often.

Requires an internet connection.
Games are quite slow.

The guitar works just fine, but Rock Band for the Wii stinks compared to on the XBOX 360. On the Wii, there is no character customization, and there is no money to be made, tattoos, gear, clothes, instruments, fans. There is nothing extra about it, you just play and thats it.

The controller was not in the best shape, with noticeable wear on both sticks. However, for a casual, slower game it will suffice. Not recommended for when precise inputs are required in game.

If you've played The Sims before then you know what to expect. The Wii remote makes the game play a little differently but it's still fun. The game plays much more like an RPG however.

I had Wii party for the original Wii which was a blast and I was expecting the same fun with this iteration. But sadly, this version of Wii party for the Wii u just didn't seem as fun. The games are plenty and some are intuitive but the ingenuity and originality that I saw with Wii party and even Nintendo land for Wii u did not seem present in Wii u party. My sister and I played this just a few times and now it's sitting on the shelf and collecting dust. There was nothing inherent in the game play that brought us back so in that regards it seems to be more suited as a rental. On the plus side, you do get a Wii motion plus remote with the game which is nice if you don't have four Wii motes.

If you're deciding between this and Nintendo land, I would say definitely go with Nintendo land, there's tons more originality and replayability. I'd only recommend this to die hard Wii party fans but be warned, this game seems to have a lot less content and allure then the previous version.

Let's RE-Lay out the facts.  Wii Play costs about 5 bucks more than a Wii remote.  The Wii Play remote does come with the soft rubber cover, so you are getting the same product.

What the heck are some of these whiners expecting from the games for less than five bucks?  It seems like they're expecting them to perform like one of the high end game$$.  I actually enjoy most if not all of these simplistic games and play them extensively with my 7 year old daughter.  Yeah, they're kinda cheesy.  For five bucks, what do you expect??

If you've got a young kid or like a bit of cheesy entertainment, this package is a great value.  If you are a real "Gamer", just get the remote and spend the money on your more fancy game$.

After some apprehension reading some of the negative reviews, I do not regret this purchase one bit.

The consule "wars" are upon us once again. While PS3 and 360 compete for graphical superiority, the Nintendo Wii aims for something else...fun. The graphics on the Wii are barely next-gen at best; however, playing the Wii makes up for every bit of graphical inferiority it may have. The Wii remote and nunchuck combo make for a fun-filled romp that takes you out of your seat and into the game. With the Wii having motion sensing capability the game becomes an extension of the player, you're truly "in" the game. Moreover, the Wii games are classic Nintendo fun. All the greats will, eventually, make an appearance...Mario, Luigi, Link, Zelda, etc. And if you can't wait for the next game to come out, you can download classic Nintendo titles like Super Mario 64, Super Mario Brothers, Zelda, Metroid, etc. If you're looking for graphic amazement you may want to look elsewhere, but for pure and cheap ($250) fun grab a Wii.

I love golf video games, so when I bought my Wii I had to pick this one up.

At first I didn't like it, because the arm motion you need to use with your Wii remote does not even come close to what a real golf swing should feel like.  In fact, I went to the driving range after a few times of playing this and it messed up my actual swing because I was trying to swing like I was playing this game! I also found it hard to beat the CPU opponents using the motion swing.

Then, I switched to the button swing, and I found this game to be much more enjoyable.  It's still challenging because the CPU opponents are tough to beat, but that it what gives this game replay value.  When you use the button swing, this game is similar to Hot Shots Golf.

If you are looking for a Golf Sim that will help your actual golf game, look elsewhere.  But if you are just looking for a fun game with lots of characters and items to unlock, you'll be happy.  It's just too bad they couldn't work out the mechanics of the motion swing.

Disk worked fine, just not as exciting of a game as I hoped it would be, it lost its novelty with my nephews quickly

Was completely disappointed. My kids we're ready to battle online and on local multiplayer, not going to happen. The local multiplayer only allows for one on one. You can only use the game pad and wii pro controller which means you wii remotes are worthless. The game has a good adventure mode but that is not what we were looking for.
Adding to my earlier comment above. The game has fun online gameplay and has been very entertaining. I went from 2 to 4 stars because as one comment stated it was an unfair assessment of the game based upon what I wanted it to be.

This game is sort of fun, I give it a 3 on enjoyment, but out of 4 in the house, I'm the only one that liked it.

My 2 kids (4 & 6) didn't even really want to watch me play it, much less try it themselves, it is NOT for kids that haven't mastered the complex Wii remote actions.

The game does require some skills, but I found it to become somewhat repetitive after a couple hours.

My recommendation is that you borrow it first to find out if you like it, and it is definitely NOT fun for others to watch you play.

Well i got the wii pro for most games cause i thought it was going to be compatible but i found out it's not........FAIL.Lets move on ok for the game that it is compatible Black Ops II the controller sometimes it gets confuse & it does a 180 spin instead of turning precise as the dualshock3 always does so well,also it goes up & down on menu screen. These stuff that im writing about are actual facts from 3 different wii pro controllers wich i find cheap or just not well sync by Nintendo. Im very dissapointed in them for these weak product, i mean the Gpad has no trouble at all responding to COD is just the wii pro whos actually a WiiNoob compare to the 360 & Ps3 controls. I have to admit it works pretty well with ZombiU,i guess Nintendo really only puts effort into their own stuff. I hope they make a more next Gen wii pro control soon cause these one is not worth the price.
