Wii Sports

Well I thught I'd mix it up a litle and do a review for a video game. So I'll begin by talking about Wii Sports for the Nintendo Wii. This is a packed in game that comes with the system and essentially presents basic sports games to showcase how the Wii controller can be used. To those not in th eknow, th eWii controller uses motion sensing technology to sense tilt, rotation, translation and speed of motion applied to the controller which is then interpretted into on screen actions.

The sports included on the game are: tennis, baseball, golf, bowling and boxing. All the gaes are simple and easy to learn. The games are fun with other people; and even more fun when people are drinking. People really get into these games and it's just a fun time. But fun can turn into trouble as seen here. Tennis seems to be the favorite of people as everyone goes back to it after trying the other games. The graphics aren't flashy, but the games are fun. It just continues to show that nintendo continues, ever since the days of Goldeneye, to be the console to use when getting together in groups.

Playing Wii Sports solo is still fun. Training games really help you improve in the main games. And there's a fitness test to test your fitness age. The first time I tried it, the game said I got the fitness level of a 46 year old. The next time I tried it I was 32. 20 is being the most healthy. Hopfully, I can t least reach 25 year old fitness since that's my age an all.

I highly recommend this game. Though only catch is you have to find one. Or make friends with your local nerd who was willing to camp outside a store. Yes, I'm a nerd and that's how I got one.
