Wii Sports Resort..(with Wii motion plus)

Ok so you’ve seen the adverts and played the sports in real life! Now its time to do it all in your sitting room!

Part two to the £45 million selling original (I know thats nuff!!) that had us all trying to be Mike Tyson and Tiger Woods at the same time.
This is basically a collection of sports simulations in a cartoon world that you control with real world movements, new sports to try in this game include sky diving (keep that wiimote straight though) to canoeing, archery, frisbee tossing, sword duelling and table tennis.

The old favourites are there too like bowling, boxing and golf. A vital improvement is the wiimotion plus, this add on cuts out the cheating moves we all tried on the Wii, that meant a slight flick of the wrist resulted in a boxing K.O or match winning topspin drive. (Come on you know you did it). Now you gotta put your back into it! ARD! A sheen of sweat will accompany any session on this new title! I enjoyed it a bit too much and this is the second time a game review has left me breathless. If you dont believe me try the cycling where you have to pedal with your arms. That was not a joke!!

This can help you lose weight in conjuntion with a calorie controlled diet or just knacker out those pesky kids in time for bed. Yaaay!! Graphically and sound wise it was a bit rubbish but that really doesn’t matter. It all about the gameplay and a great amount of variation in the gaming styles which all adds up to me giving this a whopping big score cos its a great game. So there!!!

Rated: 7+
Available On: Wii Only
