Product Description
No matter what your gaming experience Nintendo has just the game for you to play with your friends and family. Wii Play consists of a selection of nine very different mini-games on one game, which are designed to help you master the unique Wii Remote, whilst also providing hours of entertainment. To ensure you can enjoy Wii Play with your friends, the game comes bundled with a free Wii Remote. Wii Play consists of a variety of quirky games that can be played either alone or with a friend. This includes Shooting Range, which is the first game unlocked and is reminiscent of the classic Duck Hunt (released on the NES). In order to unlock the next game the player simply needs to complete the previous one (this sequence continues throughout). When all of the games have been unlocked players can start earning medals for their performance. Find Mii involves picking the right face out of a crowd in an environment that constantly changes - it?s a race against the clock and each other! Pose Mii requires players to make their Mii characters fit into the shapes in the Wii bubbles. To do this they must swing the remote to the right angle to make it fit inside. The psychedelic colours and quirky graphics involved in this puzzle make it instantly addictive. Other games included are Charge, where players have to hold onto a rampaging bull and try not to fall off! Players steer their bull and make it jump by moving the Wii Remote in the right direction, attempting to knock over scarecrows on the way. Tanks, which also makes use of the Nunchuk controller, tests a player?s strategic skills encouraging them to leave trails of mines for other tanks to stumble across. Wii Play also features faithful recreations of real sport games demanding precision and skill with the Wii Remote. In Table Tennis players hold the Wii Remote like a bat and use it to move their on-screen character?s hand and return balls. In Fishing players cast their line with similar moves as

In a nutshell:
If you want as gentle an introduction as possible to the world of Wii then this user-friendly compilation of mini-games is just the thing for you, with a collection of games that are as easy to play as they are fun.The lowdown:
It might be easy to use but the Wii is still a pretty unusual beast and a bit of a culture shock from the overly complex controllers of other consoles. This compilation of mini-games aims to ease you in gently with simple to play games that only need the Wii Remote to enjoy. These include games of table tennis, air hockey (or Laser Hockey as the game would have it) and an updated of NES classic Duck Hunt. There's also Wii Billiards, a fishing sim and a number of games which use your customised Mii Channel character, including Wii Pose and the Where's Wally style Find Mii. Since many of these games have a multiplayer mode the game also comes bundled with an extra Remote (but not a nunchuck), which usually sells for 29.99 separately. Most exciting moment:
Although all of the games are fun the best one is probably the Duck Hunt update (which also has you shooting UFOs and other non-avian enemies). Perhaps what's most exciting about it is that it proves how good other light gun franchises, such as Virtua Cop and Time Crisis would be on the Wii. Since you ask:
Many of the mini-games included with Wii Play, such as Duck Hunt and Table Tennis, were first seen as technical demos at the E3 trade conference in May 2006, when the Wii was first revealed in playable form. The bottom line:

 Great fun good game April 27, 2008
C. Burgess (Essex)
Like i said great game good fun. Lots of mini games to get your teeth into. Especially enjoy 'Charge' which is a game where you ride on the back of a wolly cow! Wierd game but makes me laugh. Also many other good ones like one where you spot mii characters. The game also aims to help you get used to the wii remote which it does. Overall, a good game and fun for the whole family!!!!
very good value! April 8, 2008
R. J. Hutchinson (north yorkshire, UK)

Great Play April 4, 2008

This is a great game for beginners and pro's alike. Gets your brain ticking in a couple of games. Air Hockey, Snooker, Table tennis and cow racing are all good as is the fishing game which becomes competitive. You can play the games solo or as 2 players only. Worth it if you need an extra remote or even the game alone good entertainment value.
Not just an intro!! March 27, 2008
Mr. F. Ghillani (UK)
Great "introduction" to the wii remote, and a good few hours of entertainment and laughter guaranteed with the addictive, genuinely funny, original games!
Top marks for how the social aspect of the experience is carried out, proving that Nintendo (and in particular the Wii) is the master for social games. Choosing your Mii and competing with friends for points adds competitiveness to the game, enhancing the whole experience.
A few words on a few games:
DUCK HUNT: 21st century version of the classic NES game. Contains more objects flying all over the place. At one stage your mii is held as hostage! Very entertaining and raises the competitiveness in everyone! Simply aim and shoot, very straightforward.
FISHING: Annoyingly entertaining! Renowned for sparking arguments between players, controls are complex, and results are mainly down to luck as random fish worth many points can appear at any given time anywhere. Personally, I prefer watching two friends play this game!!!
COWS: The objective of this "cow race" is not to come first but to knock down moving scarecrows on the racetrack to obtain points. Avoiding the obstacles by jumping them to avoid getting slowed down is the funniest part of this game as the cow makes the silliest noise, which comes directly from the face of the remote! Genius! Everyone reacts to this noise in the same way: in stitches!
Two more games worth mentioning are Billiards and Ping Pong. Billiards is easier to play and I personally love the retro, chilled-out background music!!!
My mark is shown below, and it is that high because what you're really paying for is the remote, this game comes for free with it! I hope this review has been helpful :)
10/10

D. Winterburn (aberdeen,scotland)
