Well I have had my Wii less than a week, but me and my wife love us Wii sports. Such fun. the graphics are goofy but charming and it is fun to see yourMii in the game (and in baseball to see all your Miis playing, gotta love seeing Einstein go deep).
Bowling - I think this is my favorite, best score so far is 201. I love the replays on the pin action. I do two clicks to the right and then just do a fairly firm, fast stroke and can usually get 8-10 pins.
Tennis - The best two player game and probably the second best workout. I think this is the game that best mimics the real life action with the Wii remote. I like that as you get better you do learn to control where the ball is going.
Boxing - Sees kind of random, but it is funny watching the guys go down in a heap, especially wmhen you punch them in the knee. Also the best workout by far.
Baseball - Kind of boring with one player, but with two players it can be pretty fun. My wife does some funky pitching motion that cracks me up.
Golf - The was the first game I tried out of the box and I was all hyped by it, but the shine has come off. Maybe it is because I actually play golf and the golf swing in this game just does not translate very well. It’s ok, but probably my least favorite.
Actually need to load that one back up… SimWife and I were seriously hooked on the golf bit, then the Tiger Woods game came out, and we havent stopped playing it.
(and we abhor golf IRL, at least we did, but I still cant see actually playing the game… if for no other reason than good golf days are even better fishing days, and i know we’d rather be fishing).
ETA: ‘abhor’ is a strong word… I usually made lots of joke wrt golfers, and how our fishing was much more a sport/activity then taking a long walk in a park chasing down little white balls just to hit them again! not so much anymore…
Well, I just got a Wii this week, and my sore arm suggests that I’ve been enjoying Wii Sports so far. (Being sore from playing a video game–how lame is that?)
Tennis and bowling are definitely my favorites so far, particularly when playing with a group of people. I was a trifle surprised at first at how well my WS bowling matched up with real life; I had exactly the same problems with spin I have on the rare occasions when I actually go bowling. I actually like the bowling “training” scenarios better than the game, though.
Baseball bores me (unsurprising, given that real baseball bores me senseless), and the golf game is too fiddly for my taste.
The really frustrating one, though, is boxing. It’s much too slow to register punches–I seem to throw about three or four jabs for every one it notices, and getting it to pick up hooks and uppercuts seems like a bit of a crapshoot so far. It is quite a workout, though.
