  • Summary: Wii Sports Resort is a collection of fun sports games that anyone can pick up and play. This sequel to the popular Wii Sports makes use of the Wii MotionPlus accessory, which gives players the most responsive and realistic experience possible. The Wii MotionPlus accessory, which is included with Wii Sports Resort, plugs into the base of the Wii Remote controller and, combined with the accelerometer and sensor bar, provides an experience that gives players an even greater sense of immersion. Just as with Wii Sports, people compete against friends and family. As the competition heats up, Wii Sports Resort is as much fun to watch as it is to play. First-time players should find it easy to pick up a Wii Remote and jump into the action. Wii Sports Resort takes place on a tropical island. A wide range of activities keep players coming back for one more round. Some sample activities include Sword Play, Power Cruising (racing a water scooter) and Disc Dog, which involves accurately tossing a disc to a cute, Mii-like dog. [Nintendo] Expand

  1. Wii Sports Resort offers more variety and a bit more complexity without alienating that family up the street who only bought a Wii because they love bowling. Unless you're the kind of sullen misanthrope who can only feel at peace when getting headshots with some kind of virtual scope, you'll surely find something about Wii Sports Resort that keeps both you and your non-gaming friends or family coming back for more.
  2. Wii Sports Resort is the best reason to have a Wii MotionPlus. And just as Wii Sports would be introduced as the Wii games there so far, the Wii Sports Resort offers a clear idea of how things will go from here. Hours of fun guaranteed.
  3. With two or more players, the sequel is, once again, a compulsive riot. Played alone, however, some of its pieces seem sweet, but a little empty.

    Wii Sports Resort & MotionPlus deliver beautifully on the initial promise of the Wii. Miyamoto-san's EAD development team have been creating highly accessible, well crafted living room experiences for more than thirty years, producing classics like Super Mario Bros, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Pikmin & Wii Sports. Wii Sports Resort stands proudly among them - it's incredible, unmissable, a surefire hit. Expand

    its useless when you are alone (which was to be expected, so im not even taking any points off for that!) Im also not comparing to other games, just compared to what it has to offer compared to Wii Sports The Wii motion plus really doesnt provide as much extra sensitivity as expected, it still will give the wrong inputs often which get really annoying if you are trying to block someone in the fencing who keeps hitting your right side. The accuracy match is fun, but makes it extra annoying when it does the movement entirely wrong to what you do (like if oyu do left to right and it does right to left) In terms of longevity once you have played all the events a few times, it really starts to get boring, especially since most of your friends will just spam swing their wii mote around in the fencing contest which defeats the entire purpose of the wii mote plus. the basketball shots game is also not nice at all, if you try to shoot it like a real basketball you will fail entirely, one of my friends figured out that you can just flick the wii mote and it will score almost all the time, lame to say the least... the programming is also a bit flawed on some of the other mini-games, such as kajaking, as the wii mote isnt sensitive enough to detect how far up and down you move the mote, you will find the paddleing often not doing what you want it to do and what you are doing, they should have added a better filter algorythm so that it would automatically pull up more after you complete a full paddle. All in all a lacluster and frustrating experience which awards players who use lame tactics to win and penalises players for trying to play the games as if it were real life. Expand

    This how Wii Sports should have been to start with, but instead you have to pay extra for the dumb wiimote+ thing that should have been implemented in the wiimote back in 2006. There is more content than in the original, and the controls finally works. The price is what brings it down, and there isn't really much depth in the game once you have played for a few mediocre hours. Expand
