I had Wii Play kind of pegged as a rip-off from the start, glad I avoided it. Good one, Lee!

couldnt agree more with you lee about Wii Play.

I just bought the game for the WiiMote because WiiMotes were sold out when I got my Wii.

My friend and I used to get drunk and play this crap occasionally a few months back. I sucked at the Combat clone, but I was the laser hockey king. All in all, I agree with you, Lee. It's an okay game, but not really worth the price of admission. Makes me wish I still had my Atari 2600, really.

got the game and the only one that I liked were the combat ripoff. it can get challenging and its kinda fun. the rest is just bullcrap.

"CHARGE! NO!"

Mini games, who needs them. Better play real games with Wii and any other console.

Wow... you are SO right. However my 7 year old daughter LOVES the Cow Racing one, and it is fun to take video of her trying to control that.

and I so wish they did something better with the table hockey... nothing like playing with staples and a bright ball.

Thank you for posting this, I feel the same way.

Wii Play. I'm still on the fence about that game. I might get Wii Sports resort instead of it. You get more out of it...like a full cardio workout.

The game LOOKS fun. But, Nah. I'll be fine without it. Good review!

Buy Resort! It's really good.

This was so not worth my money

Sadly, not enough games for the Wii are.

Ahhh, the Wii. It is to laugh. Now if you'll excuse me, I'll go back to my uninnovative 360,

I don't care how much that game stinks, if I can get a Wii Remote for $10, then i'm all for it. =P

But, if the game was sold without the remote, then, yeah... I probably wouldn't even give it a second glance. xD

wii hardware, forcing you to play silly games just to get hold of the dang stuff... still, multiplayer mario-kart/excite truck/whateveryoulike is worth it just like how wii zelda will be worth getting wii sports resort!

Or actually a variation of this game in order to bait the MATURE Audiences:
How would you like to play :WIIKill

Just a bunch of mini games featuring your Mii, where your put in heart racing situations like:
Running from a serial Killer
Escaping a city full of hungry zombies
Diffusing bombs in a DDR style play
Baseball Bat Fighting vampires [*irony]
Prison Shank fight
Deep Sea Monster Hunting

and so on...

dont know about US, but the wii play bundle was the same price as a stand alone wii mote. so it was worth getting it, even tho the game sucks.

*IN THE UK

I thought it was worth $2 for the demo....good thing you can sell the game by itself later

I liked the racing game. It was fun, and is great at parties. I met my current girlfriend at a party, we played cow racing and i let her win and she liked it. 7 months yesterday! strong ladies and gentleman. . Thats why i like this game. CHICKS DIG IT! and they like it when you let them win. Who cares what hardcore gamers like (although she has a liking for world at war nazi zombies and Pokemon Puzzle League, but only because i constantly play those) I'd rather pay 50 bucks on Wii Sports Resort and another 30 for another Wii Motion Plus because my girlfriend will like it and we can play together and its multiple dates that we can spend together at home. This game succeeds at the same concept! This game makes my life so much easier.

That pretty much sums up every one of my thoughts on the game.
It had a lot of potential, but didn't quite reach the bar something like Wii Sports originally set.

And people ask me why I dont own a Wii XD

-M

good old wii play I thought I was the only one that still played it

Ah, yes. This is just sucked. I like the game that comes with the Wii ALOT better. This one is just point and click. The other one you HIT the ball and SWING the racket.
Point and click games can be fun, though, however all the controls on this one seemed...locked. I agree with you with the Lazer Hockey one, but also the pool.
Not a good game.

My local store gives me a discount on software, but not hardware, when you take that in to account, Wiiplay only cost me $2.75 (NZ dollars) more than a remote by itself.
I got well more than $2.75 worth of play out of it ^_^

wii play is one of those games were you have more fun playing with a freind than on your own its like wii sports

why not review something worth reviewing?

I got an extra Wii Remote without having to but this game or the remote itself, we have two wii's in the house.

I bought it 'cause here it was actually cheaper to get wiiplay than just the extra wii mote.

Yeah the only reason i bought this game was for the Wii remote XD, but i think you should give the tanks game a bit more credit, its pretty fun once you get into to it

Nice review, a little short though. I noticed The Orange Box on the shelf, you should review Team Fortress 2.
