I have had a nintendo wii for a few years, and when I got it there was a choice of two bundles-wii console and wii fit plus, or wii console and wii sports resort. The former was sold out everywhere, a fact that I was a little unhappy about for all of about a day. As soon as I played the game I changed my mind.
The game has something for everyone and covers a wide variety of sports, all of which take place on the fictional wuhu islands (which also make an appearance in a few other wii games). In one sport, island flyover, the player is given the chance to fully explore the island for 5 minutes, locating points of interest in a small aeroplane. I'm a little ashamed to admit that I probably know my way around wuhu island better than my home town. Another sport revolves around swordplay. This is a major step up from just 4 sword directions, the onscreen avatar is fully responsive to the controllers movements. Thirdly I must mention the sport of frisbee golf. The player attempts to get a frisbee into an area on a golf course. For each shot they can choose from three sizes of disc. although it can be fairly tricky to get used to it's great fun and there's nothing more satisfying than getting a hole in one. It's a fun and original game.
The sports range from simple, like wakeboarding, to nintendo hard, like archery, but there's something for all tastes and it can be played either casually or in a more 'hardcore' setting. It's more than just a showcase for the motionplus' abilities, it's a total must have game for anyone with a wii and time to spare!
How can this game be so good?
