On the day our precious Wii consoles arrived here at GamePro, most editors ripped into Zelda like ravenous, toothless maniacs. But unable to escape my jock-ish roots, I booted up our second Wii, far from the magical echoes of Link and his latest journey,

The visuals are also severely lacking. We understand that function is almost always more important than fashion, but these graphics are Nintendo 64-level. As a pack-in, Wii Sports is a great way to showcase the capabilities of the system, and is sure to b

Take some time out from Twilight Princess and let the virtual console rest for a while to try this game. You may have forgotten that, when Nintendo includes a game with its console, it's something good.

to varying degrees of success, the games demonstrate that the concepts behind the Wii's motion-sensing control are solid, and the integration of the Mii Channel is an amusing touch. As a demo that arguably raises the price of the system itself? Maybe not

Tennis is undoubtedly the best game in the package. Although you don't control the movements of your character - the computer does that automatically - you are in full control of the timing, positioning and power of your shot, all done by swinging the

Doing the sports is by using the controller like holding a sports attribute in a real life environment, being a tennis racket or a golf club. The characters are the Mii from the console, or those saved on a wiimote. If you decide to save your character

By far the most tedious Wii Sports game is Wii Baseball. Because the computer controls the fielding, and running to bases, the player can only control the batting and pitching. Batting is so easy that homeruns can be hit with one hand. Pitching is

Tennis is a two-on-two affair, with four players competing simultaeneously, or one player per side. All sports are played featuring Nintendo’s flagship customisable Mii characters, which can be created and saved in the Wii main menu. To begin, one

The best place to start is probably tennis, which in our view is the finest of all the Wii Sports games. Select up to four players to take part, pick whether you are left or right handed and then get ready to start. Serving is pretty damn simple, throw

Baseball is much more simplified than playing the actual game or even a standard baseball video game. You only are responsible for two actions: hitting and pitching. Once the ball is hit into play, automated fielders try to make plays on it, and a hit is

A simple breakdown looks something like this: tennis is pretty fun (especially with mutiple people playing), but it is rather limited. You can't control your player so a lot of the time you'll find yourself yelling at your character (or created Mii) over

Amazingly, however, I’m here to report that my—and many others’—expectations were way off the mark. Yes, Wii Sports is very easy to pick up and play, but it’s also remarkably deep. You may never know it from your first session, but the

This "play" aspect comes from the Wii remote controller, or Wiimote, for short. Players can now swing a bat, tennis racket, or golf club. The act of actually rolling a bowling ball can be simulated by an arm-swinging motion similar to actually throwing a

Using the Wii mote(no nun chuck) you will do various motions to simulate playing a sport. For example to golf you would swing the wii mote while holding A, as if you had a driver in your hands. This in turn would sending the ball down the course.

Boxing was also somewhat interesting. You’ll have to plug up the nunchuk for this one, as you have two hands to control here. The game is, again, simple and intuitive. Punch forward and you’ll jab. Throw a hook or uppercut and, boom, hook or uppercut.
