Game reviews: Wii Sports – Part 1

Wii Sports was released in 2006 as a free game included when you brought a Nintendo Wii. It was intended as an easy to play game that anyone could pick up and play either on their own or with others. It is quite possibly the most easily recognisable Wii game around at the moment, with a large amount of new and old gamers having access to it.

The game allows you to use Miis, which have been created on the Wii console's Mii Channel, to play with as avatars, which gives the game a more personalised feel. There are five games on offer to play, each one is a simulation of a popular sport that everyone should recognise and know how to play even without instructions.

The five games are Tennis, Baseball, Bowling, Golf and Boxing. Each game uses a combination of the Wii Remote and the Nunchuck, or just the Wii Remote of its own. The games are played in a similar way to real life, for example to play tennis the player will swing the Wii Remote like a tennis racket to hit the ball, the sensor bar will pick up the movement and relay the action on screen.

Each game can be played with multiple players; some can be played with only one Wii Remote between all the players, while others need at least two Wii Remotes to play successfully. Bowling and Golf are the only two which can be played as a four player game with only one Wii Remote, so long as the Wii Remote is passed around during play. The other three require the use of two controllers.

Each time the player completes a game they are rewarded with a certain number of points based on performance. These points raise the player's level and raise the difficulty of a game based on how well the player is doing. This is done gently with a smooth learning curve which increases difficulty gradually rather than abruptly.

There are special Training and Fitness modes available which allow the player to practise their skills and find out how fit they are by completing certain tests. The Training mode allows the player to practise playing the games and it focuses on improving player's accuracy and skill within each game by giving them different challenges to complete. The Fitness mode assesses how fit the player is by choosing three tests for the player to complete and then assessing the player's fitness level based on the results of the test. The Fitness test can only be taken once a day for each Mii.
