Editorial Review:
Wii Play collects nine quick and addictive games that are easy to pick up and play and hard to put away. With the intuitive controls of the Wii Remote, even the most inexperienced gamers will have no trouble mastering the controls. Every game features a multiplayer mode, so you and your friends can compete for the high score or go head to head to see who's the best. Wii Play comes with a white Wii Remote, so your friends can join in the action. Games include:
Considering that I've logged plenty of hours on my Wii in gameplay prior to getting this, utilizing most if not all of the usage methods presented in "Wiiplay", nothing on this disc was any help to me, and the "fun" factor is definitely lacking in the majority of these games.
If you need an additional Wiimote, and you're thinking of buying this simply because it comes with a game and is only a few dollars more, go ahead, especially if you have a few extremely young Wii players that hang out in your space on a regular basis, for whom you need something SUPER simple all around. If, however, you're likely to be bitter about being gypped out of a few extra bucks with very little to show for it, just go for the straight Wiimote, and bypass this entirely. "Wii Play"'s only real redeeming quality is the extra Wiimote itself, and perhaps a game or two on here out of the nine. Just keep in mind that the games here are nowhere near as good as any of the WiiWare or Virtual Console games that you can download for easily the same five to ten bucks extra you're paying for the Wii Play game disc.
Just drop the dvd in the slot and the instructions are very simple to understand.
- Shooting Range, a point-and-fire game of target practice in the Duck Hunt tradition
- Billiards, a simplified variation of nine-ball with stunningly realistic physics that uses your Wii Remote as your pool cue
- Find Mii, in which you scan the crowds to find the right Mii - Miis you and your friends created make an appearance
- Tanks!, where you command a toy tank on a miniature battlefield in a gauntlet of 100 missions
- Other games include Pose Mii, Table Tennis, Fishing, Charge! and Laser Hockey

IF you buy it, buy it for the Wiimote, not the lame.. I mean, "game" : P
Yeah, "lame" is definitely the word I would use to describe the overall "game" disc in WiiPlay. The cow racing game is easily the best of the bunch, IMHO. There are other games with some potential, but the whole initial introduction to the set of games on this disc is full-on tutorial style, so Nintendo somewhat shot themselves in the foot with that if they wanted the mini games on this disc to be perceived as anything BUT a tutorial. That's how you're introduced to them, so that's how they remained in my mind. Oh, and, FYI, the games ARE either one or two player, so you're not required to drag anyone else along with you on the torturous journey that is slogging through the initial disc setup/game unlocking stage.
Considering that I've logged plenty of hours on my Wii in gameplay prior to getting this, utilizing most if not all of the usage methods presented in "Wiiplay", nothing on this disc was any help to me, and the "fun" factor is definitely lacking in the majority of these games.

Save $10...just buy the remote
The game is really lame. Save yourself $10 and just buy a remote separately. Use your ten bucks and buy a book. 2008-07-05
