Is Wii Sports Resort worth the hype it’s getting?

In a word….YES!

I picked this game up on release date for the family to play at the beach.  We have two boys and my brother and his family were along as well.  Did we enjoy every second of playing Wii Sports Resort….absolutely! The scary thing is how much my wife enjoyed playing Swordplay Showdown.  If you haven’t heard about this, it’s where you control your Mii taking on a horde of other random mii’s (sorry, you can’t bash in your in-laws) all coming at you with swords.  My wife’s “form” reminded us of  “whack a mole” from the arcade.  She was content to bash the evil miis over the head with her blade and keep moving.  I made a mental note not to get her a sword…ever.  It was also entertaining to watch our four year old hack his way through the firs few levels without too much trouble.  Granted, further in, more technique is required, but the first few levels can be beaten by anyone from age 4 and up.

Our oldest son likes the basketball and loves the 3-on-3 pickup games.  The depth amazes me as the players rotate and help out on defense.  My brother enjoyed the 3 point shootout and even managed to rack up a 26 score before his elbow screamed for him to stop.

Overall, I’m very pleased with our Wii Sports Resort purchase.  I recommend checking ebay to see if you can find one bundled with more than one Wii MotionPlus adapter.  You need it to play the game and this game is best enjoyed on a multiplayer level.

I’m having a hard time choosing what game i want to buy, either wii sports resort because it comes with wii motion plus or reserve metroid prime trilogy because it comes with a shirt, a poster, and an artbook. They both sound good I’m just not sure which game I want to buy. I need help!

I only have one wii mote and i want to know which games on wii sports resort can be played on multiplayer with only one wii mote.

If you remember when Mike Tyson was king of the boxing world and not head of the funny farm, then you probably remember Mike Tyson’s Punch-out for the NES.  A great game that had you the underdog fighting your way through a varied group of opponents.  Well now many of those opponents have returned to see if you (or your kids) have what it takes to be champion.  Using the Wii Remote and Nunchuck, Punch-out is a blast for solo or competitive play.  Keep your hands up and look for openings….otherwise you’ll be saying “I coulda been a contenda!”

Wii MotionPlus

So what’s the big deal about this new add-on to the Wii remote? Why is everyone so nuts about the Wii MotionPlus? I’ll tell you why.  Since the Wii came out, the gameplay has been all about using motion to control the onscreen action.  Well now, the Wii MotionPlus allows gamers to control the action in even greater detail.  Every small movement is now accurately represented by your onscreen counterpart.  This is great for many games, but especially sports games like golf and tennis where a slight change in wrist position can have a huge impact.

Here are the games that the Wii MotionPlus is currently compatible with:

Virtua Tennis 2009
Tiger Wood PGA Tour 2010
Grand Slam Tennis
Wii Sports Resort

Electronic Arts jumps into the interactive fitness market with EA Sports Active.  This game and it’s accessories allows gamers to get fit and compete with each other at the same time.  EA took notice of the strengths of Wii Fit as well as the weaknesses and created an interactive and competitive fitness game.  There are workouts for the upper body, the lower body, and cardio.  For those that have the Wii Fit Balance Board, you can use that as part of the control scheme as well.  Purchasing the multiplayer pack allows two players to play at one time and compete against each other in different exercises.

Overall, the EA Sports Active bundle is good buy for those looking to get in shape without having to spend hours at the gym.  The 30 day training regiment with daily 20 minute workouts is sure to get your blood pumping.  The fact that exercise difficulty can be changed is an added feature.  The workouts are a combination of exercises that flow from one to the other, unlike the Wii Fit where you had to complete an exercise and then choose another.  If you were a little disappointed in the Wii Fit or are looking for new fitness challenges, be sure to check out EA Sports Active today.
