A Kid’s Review
This review is from: Wii Sports Resort (Video Game)
I got this game for my birthday, but I couldn’t play it until December because I didn’t have the Motion Plus Accessory. (You NEED it to play this game.) When I played Wii Sports, I found the games a bit repetitive. But I was amused by the opening skydiving scene in Wii Sports Resort, and it opened out to 12 games, two of which (Golf and Bowling) were upgraded from Wii Sports.
Swordplay: I started out with Swordplay and found it really fun, immediately unlocking Speed Slice, where objects are thrown at you and you must slice them in the right direction before your opponent. In Showdown you face a whole horde of opponents and in the later levels, you can’t just bash your sword around–you actually need strategy. This is one of my favorites. Wakeboarding: This was okay, but my sister rocks at this! You have to ride behind a boat on a board and do amazing tricks to get points. Frisbee: This has two levels: Frisbee Dog and Frisbee Golf. In the Frisbee Dog version you have to throw a Frisbee at the target, so a dog can catch it. In Frisbee Golf you basically play golf with a Frisbee. This was fun, and the dogs are ADORABLE! Archery: This was boring and easy at first, but as you try to shoot far-away targets it becomes hard. Basketball: as a horrible basketball player, I had a very hard time with this. But I actually got three or four three-pointers, so….wow! Table Tennis: This is basically a 6-pt game of Table Tennis. I read lots of complaints about the sync of the remote here, but I had no problems. Then again, I’ve only played it twice… Golf: In Wii Sports I was REALLY bad at this. But this was a pleasant surprise: Easier, quicker, and a very responsive remote. I enjoyed this. Bowling: I haven’t played a full game of bowling yet, but it’s a lot like Wii Sports so far. Power Cruising: You have to slalom through (what should I call it, arcs?) these things to get points. I had a hard time controlling the cruiser, though. Canoeing: One of my favorites, here you have to get through a canoeing course within a time limit. I usually hate timed games so I was surprised to find that I really liked it. The levels get harder, with lily pads, geyser-things, and water creatures to block you in Intermediate and Expert. Cycling: You have to bike using the remote and nunchuck and there are many courses and stages. You can run out of energy if you bike too hard. Air Sports: Probably my least favorite, but still fun. There are three games with planes, but I have a really hard time controlling the plane! But that’s just me. All in all, a very fun game that will definitely engage you for a while. Buy it, BUY IT!

We love this Sports Resort game. My husband has never shown an interest in “video games” because he doesn’t like to just sit on his butt. But this Resort is awesome! We play it most evenings and we can’t believe how interactive it is. It’s fun competing against each other, and it’s fun to just play period. It’s been very well thought out, and the graphics are great. Our favorite is the frisbee golf. The courses are lovely and it’s like we’ve taken a mini vacation, all in our own living room. I’m 50 and my husband is 60, and we are having a hoot playing these Wii Sports Resort games. Some are quite challenging, too!

“Wii Sports Resort” has twelve games. It utilizes the Wii Motion Plus Accessory to make playing even more precise. Each game features an instructional video that shows you how to play that game. You collect stamps along the way for certain achievements. Swordplay: there are three games – two two player games and one one player game. In Dual you have a sword fight with another player (either human or against the Wii). The object is to win two rounds. In Speed Slice you play against another player to see who can slice objects the fastest. The first player to get 10 points is the winner. Showdown is a one player game where you fight enemy sword fighters. The game ends when you are either hit three times or you defeat all the enemies in the area. All three games are quick to play and relatively easy to win. Wakeboarding: up to four players can play this game. iT has three levels: beginner, intermediate, and expert. This game can take a little getting used to in holding the remote correctly and using it to go over the wake but once you get adjusted it is a lot of fun. My favorite part is trying to do some tricks not very easy but a lot of fun when I managed it. Frisbee has two games: In Frisbee Dog you throw the Frisbee eight times and have a dog try to catch it. In the middle of the game there is an extra challenge to pop balloons. The other game is Frisbee Golf with a choice of three holes, nine holes, or eighteen holes. Both games are fun but I prefer Frisbee Dog. Frisbee Golf seems unnecessary as there is a regular Golf game included in this. Archery: up to four can play this game. There are three levels – beginner, intermediate, and expert. Using the Wii remote and nunchuk you get 12 shots over four stages to get the highest score possible. This is one of my favorite games as there is quite a bit of skill involved and a great deal of satisfaction from hitting the target. Basketball has two different games. The three-point contest is a one to four player game that is either competitive or team play. The object is to make as many three-point shots as possible shooting from different sections of the court (the bonus ball is worth double). Pickup game is a one to two player game where you play three on three (you control all the players on your team). Both games are fun but I prefer the three-point contest – mostly because I’m better at it! Table Tennis: this is a variation of the tennis game on Wii sports. There are two games. Table Tennis is a one to two player game where the first player to get six points wins. Return Challenge is a one to four player game in which you return as many balls as you can for points (extra points for hitting cans that periodically show up on the screen). Both of these games are a lot of fun. Golf: up to four players can play with a choice of three, nine, or eighteen holes game. This is another game that was in Wii Sports so I’m not sure why it was included in this set of games. Bowling: there are three games for up to four players. The first game is a standard bowling game; the second is a 100 game where have to knock down 100 pins instead of 10; the third game is spin control where you have to avoid barriers that appear in the game while trying to knock down pins. Of the three I like the 100 pin game the best but this is yet another game that appears in Wii Sports and seems a bit redundant. Power Cruising: has two games both of which need the Wii remote and nunchuk. Slalom Course is a one to four player game where you ride the waves and tried to get through rings in the best time. It was quite a bit of a learning curve for me in this game but I enjoyed it once I got used to it. VS. is a two player game where you race each other to make it to the goal first. A bit of a disappointment as I am usually the only one playing the Wii. Canoeing has two games. Speed challenge is a one to four player game where you paddle your canoe and try to make it to the goal before time runs out. VS. is a 2 to 4 player game where you triyto make it past checkpoints before your opponent does – the first to cross five checkpoints wins. I had a high time mastering the control of this game and didn’t really like either game. Cycling has two games. Road Race, using the Wii remote and Nunchuk, is a one to two player game where you race among others to get to the finish line first. VS. is a two player game where you try to reach the finish line first. I find both games to be addicting. Air Sports has three games. Skydiving is a one player game where you try to hook up with other Mii characters while skydiving and have your picture taken while doing so. Flyover is a one player game where you do a flyover of Wuhu Island trying to collect points along the way. Dogfight is a two player game where you try to pop your opponent’s balloons -… |
