Wii (would like to) Play!

I pretty much bought this game for the free Wii controller. I haven’t been able to play the games with other people, but I did go through and unlock everything. I didn’t like the idea of having to play through each game to get the next game. I would have preferred to be able to play any game at start up, but the unlocking process doesn’t take too long. This game is made to teach you how to use the Wii controller, so it introduces new concepts in every game.

The game graphics are cute and are actually very good. Cows look like they're made from linen, and you can even use your own Mii for your minigames. and The gameplay is rather simple. However, this game can show you how obnoxious Wii controls can be. I especially had trouble with the pool game. Right when I am about to hit the cue ball, the Wii controller would go out of communication reach, and I would have to line up my shot again. There is also no real depth in the games. The ping pong game consists of waving the controller left to right, and there is no real control of spin and power. Since it’s a compilation of mini-games, there is no storyline.

The music is entertaining enough while you’re playing the games, but all in all, the game will probably become boring pretty quickly for the more hard core gamers. Like me, it’s probably better to get this game for the free Wii controller.
