Wii Play with Wii Remote

Wii Play is a pretty good game. It is very hard to stop playing the games since they are very addicting! Wii Play has Bronze, Silver, and Gold metals. It saves your progress. The hardest game, would probably be the Mii Find. You have to find things. So "Find the Two look-alikes", "Find the Fastest Mii", "Find the Odd Miis", etc. This game is fun for the whole family and gets your brain working. Another game is shooting. You shoot at the baloons, cans, targets, and frisbees. It is a lot of fun! Table tennis is fun. The return challange is really cool. Another (THE MOST ADDICTING) game is Tanks, it is a lot of fun! You can lay mines and you shoot all the enemie tanks. I like the two-player version. I also like fishing. You get points for catching certain types of fish. Then there is billards. I like this game a little. I would recommend this game to anybody really. Wii play is a lot of fun for the whole family! Plus you get another remote!

Still works

If you need an extra Wii remote, are fairly new to the Wii and are low on games, this is your best route in terms of value. The game itself, Wii Play, feels more like a simplified version of Wii Sports (usually already bundled with the Wii system). One of it's original intentions was as a training game to get you accustomed to the Wii remote. I say original intention because they have tacked on some slightly more complex game play than the "here's how to use your remote" games. If you were able to pick up this game by itself, it's not worth the bother. Adults and children alike will grow bored slightly faster than with other Wii titles. But for the extra $10 on top of the cost of the Wii remote - you are getting an extra game and a break from the other couple games you might own as a new Wii owner. I imagine if you've involved yourself heavily into Wii gaming and are just now looking into an extra controller, the extra $10 may not be the right money spent as the Wii Play games are really not suited or meant for someone with a lot of Wii gaming experience.

We bought this game at the same time we bought our wii console because it seemed like a great deal - we needed a second remote and for a few dollars more we were getting 9 games. We also bought it before reading the reviews - that was a mistake. When we first started it up (mind you, this is the first thing we played on our brand new wii) we both thought it was kind of neat that they had a whole set of short DEMO games to help you learn how to use the remote(s). We went through those in short order (20 to 30 minutes) and took a break for lunch. We came back and were ready to play the "real" games only to find out that the "demo" games WERE the "real" games. I said to myself, "That can't be" but, in fact, it was. There is virtually no play value here and I am hard pressed to think of any reason why I might return to this set of games. This game should be advertised and sold as a "Tutorial on using the WII remote" that includes a second remote. If you are already familiar with using the WII remote (which you should be if you own a WII) then there is no reason to touch this package. Instead, simply buy yourself another remote.

I bought this game like most people because of the Wii Remote. What other reviewers have said is true, the mini-games are shallow, but nevertheless you can have a lot of fun for a while, specially with multi-player. Right now I'm trying to get the gold medal on all games, which can take some time, and I'm enjoying it. I got to play with my wife a we had a lot of fun. The games we liked best were the tank game, the table tennis game and the laser hockey game. The pool game is also very nice. These mini games gives us a nice idea of how fun other bigger games developed with the same concept can be. Imagine the tanks game with a deep story line, different tank selection, 3D levels... well, you get the picture. As a summary, get it for the Wii remote (normally $39.99) and get this great $10 mini-game collection that illustrates the possible uses of the Wii remote.

If you need another remote, you may as well just pay a few extra bucks for this bundle. The games are OK, there are a few worth playing even after you have mastered them. You can always trade the game in at GameStop or some other place for more credit than the game costs, so we bought 3 to get up to 4 controllers, got $7 each for 2 of the games (+ a $10 bonus) and ended up with 3 controllers, the Wii Play game and a game we really liked. Hard to go wrong when it costs just a few dollars more than the remote itself. Sometimes you can even get it with free super saver shipping, which I don't see offered much for the remote alone...

My kids LOVE this game bundle... so much that we have had to replace it a few times now because a little one has gotten ahold of it & played frisbee with it :(. I am NOT deducting stars for it, but BEWARE that the one we received did NOT have the bonus remote. That is a seller issue though & NOT a product issue, so not taking stars off for that. The seller did take care of the issue though. Just wanted to mention it for anybody else in case they really want the remote too.

Enjoyed playing these games on the Wii. This package included a Wii mote so that was a real bonus. Great to have extra Wii motes when you have more people over to play Wii games.

arrived very fast which I was happy

I priced just the Wii controller before purchasing this combo pack and just the remote was more then $10 more so I'm really happy with the deal that I got. The games look interesting and the best part is that inside the box was the booklet for the controller and I figured out that all that was wrong with my old one is that I had to sinc it....so now I have an extra controller plus the 9 games for a really good price. The parcel arrived just when Amazon said it would and I had great contact with the seller. Gotta love Amazon!

We enjoyed the games. One person in a review complained that you had to unlock the games one at a time, my kids had them all unlocked in an hour.. nothing worth much complaint. The only thing about the remote is that it didn't come with a rechargeable battery back. And I can't find a rechargeable battery separate from another remote in the stores. But still worth it for the game and remote together.

Great games.
