Fun:
Let's be honest most of us received Wii Sports as part of a bundle offer with the console, but that doesn't mean that the games are poor. In fact, they were the best seller of their time (which was only a couple of years ago), but it has disappeared behind the wonderful Wii Sports Resort.
Wii Sports contains 5 different sports: Golf, Tennis, Bowling, Baseball and Boxing.
It was originally meant to be a Mario and friends game but the "mini Wii" characters which users created themselves proved extremely popular in trials and Mario was dropped.
The game made headlines because of the number of accidents and injuries which it caused. The games can cause stress to wrist, shoulder, and elbow, but there are "take a break" suggestions every few games, and if you are starting to feel the strain then go get a drink, or pass the Wii remote to someone else.
TENNIS - Play as pairs (controlling both players on your side of the court if you are playing alone). Controlling the balls and where it lands is a problem, but it is great fun when played with family and friends.
BASEBALL - Bat and pitch alternately. If you can score highly enough then the other team can invoke the "mercy rule" and surrender to your superior skill.
BOWLING - 10 rounds/ends try to score higher than the others. Multiple consecutive strikes give you little reward, and if you throw the ball backwards you can make everyone watching jump.
GOLF - Levels are beginner, intermediate, and professional and these are played as 3 hole games. You can also play a 9 hole game. Every shot is lined up for you so it is the strength of the shot that is the skill.
BOXING - The only game that requires the nunchuk. You thrust the wii remote and the nunchuk forward to punch the opposition. Rotating the wii remote allows you to move from side to side and to dodge. I found this the most tedious game to play, especially having played the Wii Fit Plus boxing.
There are 2 further options: TRAINING and WII FITNESS.
TRAINING - You start with the 5 basic games, and you can then add two more games to each of these as you progress and meet the requirements. These are fun and work wonders for the concentration, but can get a little annoying when you have a roll on and then you miss or the ball goes out of play.
Wii FITNESS - gives you a fitness age based on three factors - speed, stamina and balance - with a small graphic showing the levels of levels. One problem is that these calculations are not explained and there is no suggestion given for how to improve your standing.
I hadn't played this for a couple of months and I thought it might pale in comparison to Wii Sports Resort (Wii) with Wii MotionPlus Accessory, but Wii Sports is, however, a great set of companion games to both Wii Sports Resort and Wii Fit Plus (Wii); and as with Wii Sports Resort, Mario games, Big Brain Academy (Wii), etc, it is great fun when played with friends and family.

Fun:
Wii Sports at the time took gaming to a new level with it's new amazing hi-tec sensor controls. I have been a gamer for over 20 years and love the freshness these sensor controls and which it gives these five sports games and many more great Wii games over the years. You can play Baseball, Bowling, Golf, Tennis or Boxing and each of the five sport games feel very close to the real thing which makes them great fun to play with friends and family. In fact try playing the boxing for one hour and your arms will start to really ache. I enjoy playing the Tennis most which is very fast and frantic and Bowling is a right laugh with my five year old daughter and my sisters children. If for some chance you don't already own Wii Sports for your Wii then you really should make sure you get it soon.

Fun:
A disaster when the original copy of this "died" and cries of "but we wanted to play tennis" from all three boys. Very pleased to find the new one ready to use when they next visited. I enjoy having a game with them - trouble is the 4 year old is far better at the tennis than I am! If you have a Wii then this game is good value with baseball, bowling, golf and boxing included.
