Even though it's a fun game, it suffers the same thing the first Wii Sports had. It's great at first but it gets old extremely quickly. The single player modes leave nothing to the imagination.

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

This game takes Wii Sports to a whole new level!!! The new Wii MotionPlus makes things a little more interesting to. With the new accessory to the game following your every move makes this game a nearly perfect one,and I said nearly perfect. The new swordfighting, basketball, and other games are fun but it gets a little old after a while. Basketball could use better movement and the sword fighting could use something more like a campaign than just a showdown where you just fight a whole bunch of different Miis. Plus, the game could really use an online multiplayer and leaderboards. To be able to sword fight with someone else other than the computer and post your best scores against your friends would be really nice. Don't get me wrong this game is really fun to play, and even funner with people, but it lacks the single player value that so many other games have. That is why I give this game about a 9.… Expand

Much like Wii Sports was and is the bar setter for what was capable in gaming with motion control, Wii Sports Resort does the same with the Motion Plus accessory and sets that bar a little bit higher. All the games are fun, some will like a few of them more than others but in the end this isnt the game you pass up, this is a must have for any wii owner.

The sword fighting and the archery alone make this game worth the purchase. At first I wasn't sure about their implementation of the sword play, but after spending some time playing it, it now makes perfect sense. Pick up this game you won't be disappointed, the wii motion plus is a blast.

-Archery and Swordplay are great and the control is very good. -The controls for ping-pong(table tennis) are aggravating until you get used to them but it works out fairly well. -The disc games seem to work better and are actually easier with manual control of the release. So much for beginner controls. -The airplane games are meh, but it is very fun to explore the island for a diversion. (Try flying through the caves and tunnels). - The re-dos of Golf and Bowling are great and I like that you can play a whole 18 holes of golf now. -Cycling is just annoying and repetitive -The rest of the games are not too terribly note-worthy but worth playing a few times. Overall the game is worth buying for the price because it includes a Motion+ with it. Worth buying together with Tiger Woods Golf. The M+ accessory itself adds extra length to the Wiimote. That's a pretty good hidden-feature if you have larger hands.… Expand

This game is like wii sports, only one-thousend times better. Once i started playing this game i never wanted to turn it off. the only bad thing is that you need 2 wii motion plus accesories to play a 2 player game, and the same for a 3 or 4 player game. though some games like golf and bowling are already on wii sports, i would recommend this game ot anyone as it is way better.

The Wii Motion Plus sensor is awesome... assuming anything other than this ever uses it. The games themselves are enjoyable enough, but they're not the sort of thing you play for hours on end. Rather, they're something you play for an hour when your friends come over, or a half hour when you're bored and have nothing better to do. Swordfighting is quite enjoyable, as are the frisbee games, the new golf courses, and archery. Bowling is just like it was on the original... which is to say, perfectly fine but it gets monotonous after a while. Which is to some degree true of all of the games. The only game which isn't much fun is cycling, which is an awful lot of effort for something which really isn't all that enjoyable. That said, a lot are pretty much throwaway games you'll only play a few times. I really hope that they don't use the plane controls for another game though, as they were not very good. It had trouble detecting me jerking the wiimote forward (or backward) repeatedly. Overall, a fine game, but nothing extraordinary. If stuff actually uses the Wii Motion Sensor Plus, I'd say you should buy this without a second thought, but if nothing does, its a more questionable purchase.… Expand

Good set of mini games and since it includes the Wii Motion Plus, it is a great pick up. The games, while fun and somewhat addicting, are pretty shallow and you will max out the "upgraded" features fairly quick. My own problem is that bowling, golf, Frisbee golf and tennis can all be found on other games so you really are only getting 8 or 9 new experiences.

A collection of gimmicky shallow games. Save yourself the money unless your a die hard fan, in which case you've already bought it.

Resort improves on the original in every way possible, from controls to sheer breadth of gameplay. Some of the games are hit-or-miss (canoeing...), but most are great (swordplay). If you have a few people who are willing to play with you, or you want to try out the motion plus, this is a great option.

Wii Sports Resort is obviously a better and more in depth experience than Wii Sports. Swordplay is probably the game that best shows the capabilities of WiiMotionPlus and is probably the best overall game of the bunch. Archery is the second best game and also shows MotionPlus's capabilities very well. Table Tennis and Basketball are my two other favorites simply because they are very addicting. You can't really say that any of the games are bad it's just that some are clearly better than others. Overall, it is a very fun game that shows the incredible precision of WiiMotionPlus and anyone who wants to have alot of fun should for sure buy this game.… 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

Motion plus works VERY well. Unfortunately many of these wonderful 'ideas' (games) lose their appeal all too quickly as there's yet again no on-line play. And things can be pretty boring too as the opening 10-20 contests for some games (like pingpong, swordfighting and basketball) are dominated by rather weak AI opponents. Ping pong opponents show little variety in their gameplay. My favs are basketball 3-on-3 and rowing. Golf is nice too, but Tiger woods 10 is even better.… Expand

It's a great game, and WMP delivers as promised. I really hope more games require the WMP and it becomes part of the future bundle (maybe even integrated into future Wiimote designs) because otherwise this is just going to be Yet Another One-Trick Nintendo Peripheral Gimmick, like the Power Glove, the robot, the super scope, the wii blaster, etc. etc. etc.

Great collection of 12 games which take the original to the next level. Most of the games and various versions to play to increase the game counts much more. Various difficulties allow both beginner and novice players to enjoy.

This improves on the original in every single way. It has twelve different games, each with two or three different game modes, and none seem tacked on or redundant.

More like an 8.5. The only really bad mini-game in the pack is cycling. The rest manage to be either really fun, highly average, or average. I spend most of my time on Basketball, Bowling, Canoeing, Swordplay, and Table Tennis which are in my opinion the best.

Nearly flawless. Just two problems, one of which being a couple of games are just pointless (hint hint CYCLING hint hint), and it would be nice if there were online leaderboards and multiplayer. but the replay value of this game is great. Nintendo has done it once again, using just the right tone of lighting and texture in the graphics, and the perfect sensitivity of the new Wii MotionPlus. WHEW! Awesome.… Expand

So this game came out July 22. I recently purchased it and I gotta say, I wasn’t very impressed. Out of all of the games (Archery, Frisbee®, Basketball, Cycling, Canoeing, Power Cruising, Table Tennis, Air Sports, Bowling, Swordplay, Golf and Wakeboarding) the only fun game is Frisbee. Just like Frisbee golf, you try to throw the Frisbee as close to the hole as possible, or in this case a huge shining light emanating from the Heavens. Definitely think it would be an awesome game to play at a drunken party, but other than that, even this game could get boring after a few times play. Archery is my second favorite game, but there aren’t enough levels. Why did they only make 4 levels? What is the deal with that? In fact, they made only a few levels for each of the games within sports resort. Archery wasn’t too bad, but getting to the end level on expert mode within 2 minutes of playing is pretty anticlimactic. Definitely another fun one to play if you have a few people over, and alot of beer. Swordplay is a waste of time. Good exercise swinging that WII remote as hard as you can in every direction while trying to slap your opponent off of the elevated disc and into the water, but thats about all you will get out of it. Basketball is absolutely pathetic. There are two modes. If you play against a friend, all you do is toss basketballs into the hoop as quickly as you can, trying to make as many baskets as you can before the time runs out. The other mode, is vs a computer, where you have just a few options: dribble ball, which is meaningless since you can’t move around in the game at all; block a shot, which is too easy to do because all you gotta do is raise the WII remote over your noggin and you will block every shot without the computer ever scoring; steal ball, which again is too easy but if you miss you have a chance fall face first on the pavement; but if you fall down and the computer takes a shot, you can throw the remote above your head and still block their shots. Bowling and Golf are basically the same games that come with the purchase of a Nintendo WII. Differences? You are on an island. Wow! I might get into the other crappy games that sports resort makes up some other time, but probably not worth it. My value on this game is $2. If you don’t get it for that much, you are wasting your cash. Courtesy of www.blogtoilet.com… Expand

This game is truly great. I think it shows off Motion Plus brilliantly and it's alot of fun too, with way more sports (and accuracy) than the original, it's defenitely a big improvement. I reccomed it.

What a game!What fun to be had here.I was a little skeptical going into this game because of Wii sports.It was kinda a title that was there a promised things but didn't deliver them like it should of.This game does it all and is hard to stop playing,even playing solo.That's the mark of a great game because everything just isn't multiplayer,you always have to kick up the solo experience because everyone's tastes are different.This game is a blast and my favorite is 100 pin bowling,I could never get tired of that.Great game Nintendo!!… Expand

This game was not as good as the first one. Yes it has more sports, yes it has better graphics, but there arn't very many fun games. Sword fighting is fun, so is basketball, but pingpong is just minature tennis, for some reason they mest up golf, wake bording is not fun, throwing a frisby is not fun, Archery is pretty fun, Biking sucks, sky diving sucks, flying a plane sucks, bowling is exactly the same as the first one which is good, kyaking sucks, boating sucks. 4 of these games are fun the rest suck. I give it a 7 out of 10… Expand

Wii Sports resort is what the Wii is about. The motion controls are perfect and I only wish more games would take advantage of Wii Motion Plus. It is what Wii Sports should have been. It follows the same design as Wii Sports for better or for worse. So of the games on it aren't that great, but others, like Ping Pong, Sword Fighting, Jet Skiing, Golf, Frisbee, and Archery are all top notch. I could play ping pong of hours on end.… Expand

A fantastic upgrade from wii sports with 12 different sports to master and get the hang of, however can get a little boring after about 3 or maybe 4 hours. A great game using the wii motion plus to its full potential with its own unique options like using the mii contest channel mii to play against.

Wii Sports Resort is an amazing game for all of the family to enjoy. There's a wide range of games meaning there is definitely something for each member of the family to enjoy. I've spent hours and hours competing against numerous members of my family. Highly recommendable game.

The first Wii Sports Resort was fun but quickly got old. This game offers twelve sports which are a mixed bag. Air Sports, Archery, and Bowling are the winners for amazing controls with the new Wii MotionPlus and great gameplay. Everything else is either so-so or a complete waste of time. The game has stamps, like Xbox achievements, but no online play. Overall, Wii Sports Resort is pretty fun and holds up for a longer period of time than the original. However, don't expect the Wii MotionPlus to fix bad gameplay and design.… Expand

At first there seems like a lot to do in this game, but after a few play through's you realize that you keep coming back to only one or two games you really like. I was really disappointed with how little archery levels there was to play since its the most enjoyable part. I could imagine a whole Zelda style adventure game based around the swordplay and archery mechanic. Slicing and dicing is very satisfying, hence I think why games like Fruit Ninja on iphone sell so well. Simple satisfaction.… Expand

Best $50 I ever spent on my Wii and comes with a free (required) remote / controller. Hours and hours of fun for non-gamers (intended market) and even hard-core gamers can find something among the 12 games. Each game has "sub-games" and after you think you've gotten pretty good at it, there are some very difficult "stamps" to earn. If you're OCD like me, you'll enjoy collecting all the "points of interest" in the flight simulator, and while you're exploring that game, go ahead and shoot the white balloons. It remembers which ones you've hit... Some of the games require 2 remotes for 2 players, other games you can share. You definitely need to wear your wrist strap for some of these games, like frisbee golf. Another pointer: if you find steering the jet ski or wake-board difficult, be sure you are tilting the remotes, not just moving them up and down. The remote steers by sensing the TILT, not the height or separation. Nintendo has re-invented the Wii. Just add a small device to existing remote / controller, you get far more accurate input. Down-side is that games must be re-written to take advantage of the new sensitivity. I hope it catches on with developers. There is a wikipedia article that lists games which take advantage of the new technology.… Expand

I would only recommend this game to people who like having fun. GRAPHICS: It looks like a Wii game. Either you like the cartoony look or you seethe with anger that your character doesn't have 60,000 strands of hair moving seamlessly or whatever. Personally I side with the former. 7/10 ADVENTURE: Not much to talk about here. Learning and mastering each game is fun. Playing with friends is funner. Forcing your smug friend who is too good to wear wrist weights is funnest. 7/10 MECHANICS: Great! Resort really shows what Motion Plus can do. 10/10 EXTRAS: This game really delivers on the promise of what Wii is supposed to be. Not as revolutionary as the original Wii Sports, but a worthy sequel that improves on just about every aspect of the game. 9/10… Expand

i never actually could get into the game and even if i did there are only a couple of levels to each sport and you can beat them all pretty quickly and they just begin to get repetitive and i think it is a good idea but they should have added more levels to each sport

Even with more sports and more variety , it isn't so surprising as the first days in comparison to the original, while it does nice moments, it doesn't reach explosive expectations, just decent to the end.

great game, but i dont know why you wouldnt just go play proper sports for the ones that you like, except maybe wakeboarding... so a 91% for meh then

The game has more sports than the original, first of all. But, a few aren't filling up to their potential. Like the Frisbee games. The controller can be unresponsive in a few sports, but the game is AWESOME anyhow!! An extremely fun and addictive game that comes with your newly purchased Wii, with hours of fun and nail-biting gameplay!

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.
