Review: Wii Sports Resort

This game is hyped to the "core" gamers as a tech demo for the Motion Plus, and to the "casual" crowd as the best thing since Peggle came out (which, as a massive Peggle fan, is hard for me to believe). Either way, its not very successful at either of these things.

The game is essentially a rehash of Wii Sports, with less to do with the actual sports presented in that game.

New stuff includes the interesting but underdeveloped Swordplay, the could have been great-but-is-far-too-fiddly Archery, and the utterly pathetic Cycling.

Cycling is poor because the motion involved have NOTHING to do with actual cycling, its just pumping the Wiimote and Nunchuk up and down and tilting for turns.

Most of the games could have been easily done without the Motion Plus, and three of them, Golf, Bowling, and Table Tennis are just extensions on games you all ready got out of the box with the Wii.

Positives
Swordplay and Table Tennis could become addictive
Golf and Bowling are the best two games on Wii Sports, so expansions are welcome

Negatives
No Online pay at all, seriously, nothing.
None of the games really show off what the Motion Plus can supposedly do.

Overall
If you liked Wii Sports a lot, then get it, it very similar with some nice expansions.
If you didn't like Wii Sports, then don't bother, its the same game with more crap in it.
