Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Great fun good game Comment: 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!!!! Customer Rating: Summary: very good value! Comment: I bought this game several weeks ago and have to say it is great value for money! ok, the games arnt as good as wii sports, but they are still quite fun! (with the posible exeption of pose mii) Customer Rating: Summary: Great Play Comment: 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. Customer Rating: Summary: Not just an intro!! Comment: 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 Customer Rating: Summary: consider this if u need a wii remote... Comment: for the sake of a few pounds extra,if u are looking for a 2nd wiimote,and have kids 5-12 yrs,this is worth having.it is NOT wii sports by a long shot,but 10 minigames to teach wiimote functions. a couple stand out (shooting and cow racing!!)

Editorial Reviews: 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
