Product Description
Wii play offers a compilation of 9 fun filled games for the Wii and is bundled with an additional Wii remote ensuring you can make the most of the 2 player mode. Wii play offers housr of fun playing classic games such as laser hockey and table tennis to name a few. Before you get stuck in be sure to request your Mii character, so they can represent you in the games. If you use your saved Mii character this will ensure you can save all your scores, against your character. Wii play consists of a wide variety of games, the most noticeable being shooting range, because of is reference to classic duck hunt, laser hockey which resembles classic pong or Air hockey. Others games will include Billiards, the well known pool table game and fishing. Also featured is charge, a unique racing game in which you steer a bull ridden by a Mii character. Tanks, battle it out with friends using tanks. Find Mii, follow a series of objectives to seek the Mii characters in the game. Pose Mii a fun filled game that involves moving your Mii character in a series of poses, to collect points.

Amazon.co.uk Review:
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:
The beginner's guide to Wii, with a handy extra controller. - HARRISON DENT

5 out of 5 stars @@@ Credit Crunch Hurting Your Pocket..Can't Afford a Console for X-mas? Here's how to get it one for a fiver @@@   December 1, 2008
Credit Crunch Got you down ?

Christmas is coming so save your cash! Why purchase something you can get for a fiver.

Go to " meurl.co.cc/Gadgets " and sign up. Complete ONE offer- I would recommend Gala Bingo,as this is cheap and fun (and you might win some money in the process!). If you really don't want to spend, there is a free Lovefilm trial.

All companies are well known so there is no risk involved- give it a go! I got my ps3 and many other things this way, so don't miss out.

I was a skeptic once but now I am SO glad I gave it a chance. B8C approved this system on their Newsnight programme a while back.

Many items to choose from; PS3's Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii & Much More!!

They send your gift Free of charge....

HOWS THAT FOR A MERRY X-MAS?!!!

Enjoy!



5 out of 5 stars Remote and a game   November 29, 2008
A lot of people have posted on here slating the game. Yes, its not fantastic, but its not meant to be! Its a way of introducing people to the new controller and how to use it. Yes, it has nothing on wii sports, but it never claims to be anything brilliant.

There are ten mini games. Honestly, you wont play them all over and over again, however if you have young kids they will love the chase game where you play as a cow, its easy to control and play and kids love it. Also the shooting game is quite fun, if you are looking for a mindless game after a busy day at work.

At the end of the day, buy it, but dont expect anything beyond a few mini games! In my opinion, its worth having, and you might find yourself playing it on the odd occasion, but you are getting an extra remote and lets face it, thats the reason you will buy this! The game is a bonus!!!



4 out of 5 stars Not a great game, but worth it if you need a second remote   November 26, 2008
The games here aren't amazing, all having the air of demos about them rather than actual games, and with the possible exceptions of the billiards and table tennis games, there's little real longevity in any of them.

However, if you need an extra controller this is only a few pounds extra, and therefore well worth getting, but be prepared for the novelty of the games to wear off very quickly.

Wii Play is only worth getting if it's a cheap way of getting a controller. The game itself is rubbish - is only useful to learn how to use the Wii controller - which you can learn on any game anyway.
