Loved it from the first minute! Quite realistic for the amateur. Therapeutic - definitely Sports on a rainy day!

Love the tennis & baseball here ... its like playing the real game .. whoever dislikes this will ONLY be a sport-hater... i love sports & there's nothing like beatinga friend or even better the other players with high scores ! exhausting & great cardio !!

I played this game with my cousin, and it RULES! I think it's awesome how it comes with the console, and the idea is simple. It tells you how to play even! Using your own Mii is prettyfun too. 10/10

All of the games are spectacular. They each have their own fun minigames, and it really gives you something to work at. With practice, one can figure out a great way to excel in each sport.

This game rocks. Idon't care how simple it is, when you play the Wii for the first time this will be the game you play. Play round a mates house, and their parents join in! Brilliant stuff. Just don't play the boxing game.

One of the best games I've ever played that came with a console. What is really amazing about this game is the range of people that can enjoy it. My mom, who probably hasn't touched a game since tetris, has gotten really into the tennis game, and the bowling game in Wii Sports is very close to the real thing, just without the smell of the bowling shoes and the waxed floors. Since the only was to buy this is to buy the Wii, let it be a consideration when purchasing a next-gen console.… Expand

Remeber how much fun Super Mario Bros. was for the classic NES? This game included with the wii system is great! Teaches you all the basic needs controls you might need for the inovative game system. Even better it is a party game where we can all get together and play. Okay, maybe it does not deserve a perfect ten, since the graphics are horrible, but hey, This is the original Wii game!!!!!!

Great fun for everyone, not just habitual gamers.

I think this game is fun and great to play with friends. I'm rubbish at some and good at others, theres almost aways a mini game which someones great at.

The game may look simple, but yet it has a vast amount of complexity to it. While the graphics are simplistic at best the gameplay lacks none.

The graphics were not perfect but other than that was great. This was the first Wii game i had played and i have been waiting for a motion sensing game since i was like 5 so this made me so happy i almost cried.

My daughter and son-in-law bought this game for their children. My husband and I went out and bought one too. We love it! It is a great way to get a little exercise and to have something else to do in the evening rather than watch TV. We live in Arizona and it is too hot outside for the children to play, so this game helps keep them active. The children can call us on the phone and ask us to play a game with them...and we can actually play from different houses. We have not tried that yet, but my son-in-law is hooking up the wireless this weekend so we can. Imagine bowling with the kids in the evenings...what fun! This is another great way to enjoy the grandkids. The remote works great with the game. Even my mother-in-law can play when she comes...it is that well suited for all ages. This is the best innovation that has come out in years. I hope they continue to add games that use the wiimote like this game uses it...and that help get us all off the couch. Love it, love it, love it. Way to go...keep designing games that are similar. I love the tennis and the bowling the best...I am not very good yet at baseball...but with a little practice...I bet I can do that too. From ages 5 to 75...this is a great system.… Expand

This game should be updated soon it should start to get boring after a while apart from that its ledge

This game is brilliant!! You can climb up the skills mountain to get to be a pro. The game includes golf boxing baseball tennis and bowling. There also is the option to do training with lots of mini tasks and you can an age chexk with 20 being the lowest so i would advise you to get this game A++

Very simple but still great fun. The tennis game in particular is awesome and no, you don't need to swing your arms about too much!

this game is so much fun. it sure beats going to the bowling alley. id have given it a 10 if the boxing controls were smoother, but for the most part, i got the hang of it. i'll almost pro status on boxing. baseball is also fun when its 2 players. when we play, the pitcher stands a couple feet behind the batter so the batter cant see the arm speed of the pitcher. makes for more of a batter/pitcher duel.… Expand

great game

Wii Sports may be considered the best beer drinking game of all time. Not only should every kid get a Wii system, but every adult should as well. It's a good way to get in shape and have fun doing it. I wish there were more options and more sports though.

fun simple game which last a surprising amount of time.

It is much better than some of the ratings tell you. Its inovative, fun, addictive and did I mention fun? But whats even better, is that its free. Nintendo could easily charge you 50$ for this game.

Great fun. Boxing and tennis are the stand out games.

This game may be one of the best thing to happen to gaming in a long time. Family's are playing together and not just the kids. Because most people know the rules of these simple sports games any one can pick it up and see what the Wii can do. My 63 year old dad bought one and now him and all the grand kids are connecting in a hole new way. For a free game that comes with the system its just what was needed to get parents of the backs of there children for playing to many video games.… Expand

This game has so much multiplayer replayability it is absurd. My housemates and I play this all week because its fun (And keeps you fitter than other games). I'm not sure this needs a review, seeing as everybody owns it, but has clearly got poor reviews from the professionals. Any self-respecting company would not ship a bad game with a console; and they didn't. Don't miss the excitement of getting a starry bowling ball or your tennis ranking going off the chart.… Expand

Great use of the wiimote, but a little too less playing time for single players.

Absolutely flippin brilliant. The graphic aren't great but the Miis are fun to look at. Golf is the best for single player, but boxing is a letdown, it just feels a little tacked on.

I absolutely love this game. It gives me exercise.. in my house!

Tennis - Excellent; Bowling - Good for a laugh; Golf - Nice; Boxing - Excellent; Baseball - Pretty poor. Overall - great way to pass a few hours and get used to the Wii.

Shows off the systems capabilities excellently. Would have preferred to be able to play longer matches in the tennis - first to three as a maximum length was slightly disappointing.

This was all around awesome games the wii's are cool and the games are fun. I really want to try 2 player boxing cuz the guys you face in 1 player are so computer generated.

The first good thing about this game is the price. This is the cheapest price you can pay for anything, "Free." Next is the gameplay. This game is very fun for anyone, whether they are old or young, tall or short, or a video game player or not. This game also shows all the unique movements and abilities of the Wii Remote. You see how the game swings with golf, baseball, and tennis. You get to see how you can tilt the control and make the bowling ball curve in the game. You also get to test out the nunjucks in the boxing. The fitness test had me playing this game at least once a day so that I can get a fitness score for the day. This game is fun and never gets old.… Expand

Revolutionary. My prediction: this game will stand in history as the most influential game of the current console generation.

Sheer excellence for a free game. great use of the wii remote and hours of fun in all honesty.

There's so much hidden depth to this game. At a glance it seems simple, but there's a subtlety to the control system. Being really good at say tennis, allows you to return the ball back to anywhere in the court. Bowling allows for fantastic spin control. Sure you can beat-the-drum for boxing, but only with time can you learn all the special punches and combinations. The Mii characters might look cheap and cutesy, but underneath there's great depth to the control & physics modelling. We own seven Wii games, and we play Wii Sports 2/3 of the time.… Expand

After waiting for the Wii and Zelda for as long as I had, I find myself playing Wii sports more! An amazing way to get a feel for the wiimote. It did what the wii set out to do, make a new gaming experience for new gamers and seasoned veterans. My only complaint is that the boxing controls are a little awkward. Looking forward to a Wii sports 2!

Game mag reviewers lose the plot, reader reviews matter this game is great, it shows the future of gaming.

Most addictive game ever. Great multiplayer.

Man, I think the critics all really missed the boat with this one. This game is so much fun, and we've been playing it for over a month straight. No, you're not getting a super deep version of any of the five games, but what you're getting is five different games, with several different mini-game modes each, that are all really fun to play, especially with another person. I have gotten so many people to try this game who don't even like video games, and every one of them found something to love out of the different game options. People who have never even considered owning a video game console tell me they want a Wii now after trying it. My girlfriend and I(and she barely even likes video games normally)play together every day. No, you're not getting super deep versions of the games or fancy long single player modes, but I can't imagine why anyone would expect that when it was never advertised as that. It is meant to be a game that you can pop on with anyone and both have a blast. And as far as replay value, I don't know that we'll be playing it forever, but we've played it for a month and a half straight, and that right there is pretty darned good I'd say. You can't grade this thing on the same scale as normal games, because it's something new. And it's just plain fun.… Expand

A real classic, easily approachable, extremely addictive!

Easy controls and strong identification with characters. I could only hope for a little bit more of variety in things such as golf courses, single player tennis and so on.

This is a fantastic example of how the motion-sensing can make for engaging multi-player action only to be found on the Wii, The music is relaxing and even though the graphics may not be hi-res, they make for a fun, quirky atmosphere and what's more, have character. Having so many games here is another plus, including the sometimes insane 'practice modes'. As for the lukewarm scores from mag reviewers- what other comparable games are they thinking of that non-gamers and gamers alike can so easily get into and create a party atmosphere with? This game is what made the Wii a success story and it will go down, in history as one of the most successful pieces of home entertainment made. Now how about Wii Sports 2?… Expand

Great game, didn't need to buy another one for 2 months! Bowling was easy, I was pro within the first hour. Tennis and Baseball and Boxing are all great, although Baseball can be a bit unfair at times. Golf surprised me as it was alright, not great but alright. Overall a great, great game!

After 4 back surgeries I thought I was done with bowling, but then along came the wii. I can now play tennis and bowl with kids with grandkids, golf with spouse and even play by myself. My daughter bought me the wii for my birthday and said something about me needing more exercise, boy was she right! I exercise everyday with the wii sports and don't even realize that I am exercising. I strongly recommend the wii sports and not just because it is included in the purchase of the wii system.… Expand

This is an excellent game for those who are more casual gamers and want something to pick up and play. It is also very family friendly and the whole family will have a bunch of fun playing this.

This is the only Wii game that really uses the capabilities of the controller to the max. You can put spin on shots in tennis, affect the speed, direction, and spin of bowling shots, crank home runs in baseball, and throw various punches in boxing, all with amazing accuracy. The Wii's success is because of this game. It is simple and fun, but still recreates the true physics of playing these sports. No other game I have played for the Wii uses the Wii controller as accurately as Wii sports.… Expand

The only Wii game to use the wiimote properly, this game is fun, if a bit limited. Really, there are five games on it - boxing, tennis, baseball, bowling, and golf - but only two of them (bowling and golf) are not against the computer (so to speak). Boxing, tennis, and baseball are all enjoyable in the short term, but they really pale after playing them for a while - you're playing against AI, and they just aren't all that fun of games. Boxing would be fun if it was more Punch Out!!!, but it isn't.

That leaves bowling and golf. Bowling is enjoyable, but repetitive; it gets boring after a while. Thus Golf is the real reason for this game, and it is really fun. There are only nine holes (sadly), but they're enjoyable and its a great game to play with some friends. Despite saying it is one player, it is up to four players, just not simultaneously (obviously). If they released a game which was JUST golf, but had, say, 72 holes on it, I'd buy it, and it'd be worth every penny. Wii Golf is fun, and the saving grace of this title.… Expand

Wii Sports is a perfect introduction to the next generation of gaming! If you are new to gaming or are a long time gamer, you owe it to yourself to go out and get yourself a Nintendo Wii with this FREE pack-in game!

I've had more fun with this game than any other in a long time. The graphics are cheesy, and it has shortcomings like only one 9 hole golf course, but I've been able to play it with dozens of family members and friends who haven't played video games in years, or who never enjoyed them in the first place. I've never had requests to bring console games with me to friends houses until Wii Sports, but my Wii has game nights at three different houses now. And good luck finding another game that makes your stomach sore from laughing and your muscles sore from moving.… Expand

I love this game and the best part is that it came with the wii. Wii sports is by far one of the most succsesful games for the wii because other systems continue to copy it. The sequel was not as good as the first one and for some reason they fudged up golfing. Great game! I give it 8.5

Don't let the fact that this game comes with the Wii fool you it's one of it's best games, the graphics are great, the controls are great, and the sound is ok, and the controls are great, my only complaints are the sound and that it doesn't have that many games, but the amount of times you'll want to replay it easily makes up for it, it's a highly enjoyable experience for gamers of all ages.

Fantastic game to be included in most starter packs in Wii. However, now being 2011, we should expect better games. This was an innovated game in 2006, when the Wii was first released.

Wii Sports is very genuine fun. Of course the sports are no where near as fleshed-out as they are in real life, but it is neat to be able to play as the "Mii" characters you have created.
