Games Review : Wii Sports

We bought a new Wii  games console after lot of research and analysis.  While XBox and Sony playstation PSP 2/3 offers wonderful graphics compared to Wii, they tend to have games which is mostly violent. So for those parents who wish their kids not to be exposed to violence, there are games like Wii sports and Mario etc. which are not very great in graphics part.  Also, as of today Wii is the only company that provides motion sensor where you get the feel as if you are playing the game for real.  Kids luv the motion sensing stuff.  Also it has very good games for kids.

Now coming to our review of Wii Sports.  This is a basic game that Wii provides when you buy the console.  It has 5 sports in it.  Baseball, Bowling, Boxing, Golf and Tennis.  You can create your own Mii figure and personalize. 

Baseball :  Kids in US love baseball.  This is a good game for kids that at least has some basic understanding of the game.  It gives you the basics and practice before you play actual games.  It is more fun when two of you play the game.  It requires Wii remote with motion sensor to play this game.
Bowling:  This is my personal favourite.  I am sure most of the women would luv this game.  The effects are awesome.  You get almost real feeling of being in a bowling alley.  I like the replay it shows.  It has various modes (like spin and flat)  in which you can bowl.  Kids like this game and they try out different styles.  The best thing about this is in real life kids cannot do bowling (except in kids bowling alley where parents cannot have fun)  as the ball tends to be heavy.  Here there is no such limitation and the whole family can have fun.
Boxing:  If you do not want violent stuff, you may avoid this.  This is great if you want to have a workout and burn your calories and increase your heart rate.  I would advice to not let the kids play as I am against any kind of violence exposure to kids. I do not play this much. My husband sometimes plays it.  Its good if you are boxing fan.
Golf: This is very very good.  Before we bought the game, I did not know anything about golf.  All jargon of golf used to be like latin and greek to me.  Also, I thought golf is a very dry game.  Wii Sports changed everything. It has various golf courses in which you can play.  This is a luxury you cannot afford in real life.  You don't know golf, don't worry,  it will teach you the basics.  It will teach you how to swing and adjust your stance.  You can play the full game or just three holes game.  The graphics is cool and you get a real great feeling playing this.  I have become a big fan of golf (only to play) after this.  Kids like this too.  However, some may find it too slow.
Tennis:  This is my daughters favourite.  She always wanted to play tennis but never had the chance to do so.  Wii has provided relief to her need.  This is very good and interesting.  My whole family likes it.  It lets them learns the basics of the game and also have a great time.  I am amazed by the way the opponents play as per your level.  It gets tougher and tougher as your level increases.  This is so good as it motivates the players to keep playing and at the same time not get bored as the difficulty level always increases.
