Wii Sports Resort for Wii Reviews by Gamers

Im sure it is a great game because i enjoyed wii sports a lot, but I could not play it. if I knew that I had to have the wii motion plus to play it I would have picked something else. I just got a wii and did not know but I will for the future!!

With the games I have played so far, I am happy. The archery and wakeboarding games are especially fun. I like the swordplay and new bowling games as well. Bowling is pretty much the same, but it's more sensetive and there are more modes of play.

Archery could use more modes, like letting you fire more than three arrows at each target in a round, but overall I'm happy I bought this game. It would be nice to rent, but I can see why Gamefly would not have it to rent. You CAN'T play this game without the Wii Motion Plus, and I suspect most folks don't have that yet.

However, when you do buy it, with only one motion plus, you can still play most games with more than one person. I have not played all the games on the disk, but I have only come across one that needs another controller and that's because you play table tennis against another live person at the same time.

Also, it's a great buy getting the motion plus free with the game when places like Gamestop sell it for $25.

You should definitely buy this game and it's best played with other people.

i waited years for this game to come out i'm glad it finally came out my favorite sports in this game is table tennis, archery and bowling. golf is better this time it really is a work out it's a great game for wii owners i recommend this game to everyone. wii sports resort gets 5 bullseyes out of 5.

When WiiSports came out with the Wii, it was the game that sold the system for it's clever use of the Wiimote, and the fact that it was just plain fun for people of almost all ages.
Now they come out with Wii Sport Resort, a game where you fly off to Wuhu Island (yes, that's the name of the island) where you play a bigger variety of mini games (and no, you do have to pay for this one). The new games are Swordplay, Wakeboarding, Frisbee, Archery, Basketball, Table Tennis, Power Crusing, Canoeing, Cycling, and Air Sports. Returning from the original game Bowling and Golf.
But each mini game has more than one game attached to it. Here are two examples:
In Air Sports you can duel other players in a dog fight, fly about the island to get tokens, or you can skydive with a whole lot of Miis.
The Swordplay has you fighting against the AI or an opponent, slicing through obstacles in the indicated direction, or taking on a whole lot of AI Miis in Showdown.
To say this game has plenty of choices is an understatement. There's something for just about anyone who's iterested in the Wii.
But there are a few drawbacks. If you want to get more than one person playing this compilation, you have to get more than one Wii MotionPlus; you have to get one for every player.
And a few games just didn't make the cut for me: Basketball, the Pickup Game, was bland, Golf still has me hitting the ball way too hard and doing stunts on the Wakeboarding didn't thrill me.
And it would be great if every single game was unlocked when you first play Wii Sports Resort.
But that's a small gripe. The other mini games more than make up for the bad ones (bowling is still just as fun as before, smashing Miis with swords doesn't get old and the 3 point contest is a blast), and I get an accessory that I will want to use in many Wii games to come. This is one compilation that I will want to play for many months.
Wii Sports Resort is a strong candidate for my BEST WII GAMES OF 2009 list.

You must have a wii motion plus controller to play this game!

U guys haven't heard anything about this game have you? U need a new controller attachment for the game.. The Wii MotionPlus!! So that's why you can't rent it. Go google it and learn about it... you'll want to buy the game after.

You can't play this game unless you have the motion plus for the remote. GameFly should tell you.

If you do nothing else, then unlock all sword modes and play the third sword mode. Samurai Showdown. Brilliant sword control and awesome game there.

The rest of the game is awesome as well.

This is an excellent game to show you the capabilities of the new motion sensor. The games are not deep with extras but that was not the intention of the game. People without common sense should not be allowed to review. The reason they don't rent this is because you need the new motion plus adapter which 99.9% of Wii owners do not have. I has only been out about a month with 4-5 games that support it!!! Great game go buy it!!!!

You need the 'additional' (Nintendo suck you dry) remote adapter. I don't really even know why it's necessary to have- didn't need it for the first Wii sports. Gamefly should make it more apparent that you MUST have this to play it. Nintendo should make it an option, not a requirement to play.

I'm not sure if it's fun or not, but I'm not going to find out- because I'm not buying the extra remote. Oh well....

This game is a total blast. Now I have to pay $50 to get it because gamefly for whatever reason does not have it. Gamefly needs to get this game. Gamefly dropped the ball on this one they usually have all the top games. What happened gamefly? We want Wii sports resort!

If you didn't know this game needed the wii motion sensor then thats too bad. Do your research on games before you rent next time. There was no need to rate the game a 1 you should have written gamefly to complain instead. The game is just like the sports package that comes with the wii, except with more games. I thought it was fun and play it when we have guest over and parties. This game is more of a purchase than a rent honestly. PLUS YOU GET A WII SENSOR WITH IT, so you dont end up writing bad reviews of the game when you actually never played the game.

Just a little FYI. You need to have the new motion censer pack for the controls. I didn't have them. Renting it. Not able to play it. So just make sure you have it before you rent the game.

i love this game sooo much i just have trouble with Frisbee but i love the game

i played the demo at six flags and its very fun!!

this game is just so amazing I was unstopable on basketball ant the sword play.that is why i give it a 10

Great game, so far my only complaint is that you must buy a second wii motion controller in order for you to play 2 players. An once you realize that, then you have to hunt one down before they are all sold out!! But other than that it's a very good game to own. Fun for all ages! A+ Nintendo!

I played yesterday for my first time and loved it. Some people in Amazon complained about the bike one using your hands but I loved it. I loved the frisbee dog one too. Canoeing was hard on my back but I may try it again. I played it over 2 hours yesterday and was having so much fun with it. I bought mine based on other people giving it high remarks. I'm happy that I did and recommend you add this game to your collection. Amazon has it with free shipping and it got me fast. The reason I give it a 9 vs a 10 as some of the games are too easy to be able to open up another track for the 1 day bike race for instance. I'd like to see more bike tracks or harder to open up as I opened them up in one day. Get this game and have a blast with it. You'll probably need more than one motion plus thingy if you have up to 4 people playing.

I was really looking forward to table tennis but the controls for this game are unbearable. About 40% of the time the computer is in a different swing than you are (ie you are swinging forehand and the computer has you in backhand). Then in the middle of a switch from forehand to backhand (in the few times you can actually get this to work) the computer will inexplicably cause you to hit the ball.

Other than table tennis, which I really wanted to be good, the rest of the games are great and the controls seem to enhance the game play.

This game is soooooo stupid you have to have that extra atatchment just to play the game AND GAMEFLY DOSNTTELL YOU THAT YOU NEED IT TO PLAY SO I AM EITHER WASTE 2O BUCKS TO PLAY A RENTED GAME OR JUST BUY IT

i could not play the game because of that Wii motion plus >:(

I didn't notice that this game required the motion controller plus and I don't have that hardware at home so it was a wasted rental. I refuse to spend 20$+ x each controller to enjoy a game. The developers of this game should be relegated to the same place the makers of Rock Band, Guitar Hero, and lawyers go. It's a rip off and you have to spend another $50 minimum just to enjoy the game.

If you dont have a wii motion plus they dont send it with the game so you cant play it.

We had no idea the Motion Plus was required. Typically GameFly has an alert on the rent screen, but it was in the game description area... boooo! Will rent again once I see value in the Motion Plus ($20.00 or if you buy this game $50 it comes with). Totally bummed!
