Wii Sports Resort takes everything you love about the first title and made better with the Wii MotionPlus. Wii MotionPlus is required to play all the games for this title, which can be a hassle if you don't have a Wii MotionPlus
. The first Wii Sports featured five different games with not much on the control front. This game gives you a total of 12 games with multiple modes and challenges. Also included are various challenges where you can earn Stamps. These stamps are tokens of accomplishment for competing certain tasks. For example, bowl a Turkey in the Bowling events. Let me delve into this deal for a bit.--- Wii Sports Resort: Events ---
Please note that I may have not played every last game to explain everything. So most of this will have to be discovered on your own.
Swordplay.
In Swordplay, you are given a few modes to play with. The ones I've played were Duel and Speed Slice. Swordplay allows you to get your Bushido or Kendo on. Duel is where you compete in a Best-of-3 contest where you try to knock off your opponent from the platform through various sword slashes. Speed Slice requires you to think fast and slice in the correct direction before your opponent does. First to ten (and the Match Point) winner will win. If in case of a draw, the one who completed the correct slash first wins the point.
Wakeboarding.
Go from side-to-side on your wakeboard, then attack the waves with cool tricks. You must land on the water properly, or you won't score any points.
Frisbee.
In Frisbee, you have a cute little puppy who'll go and fetch frisbees that you throw. Challenge yourself to land frisbees in target areas for points. Or in balloon challenges, try to make your frisbee pop the given balloons for bonus points.
Archery. (Nunchuk Required)
Archery gives you the challenge of attacking a target from various locations. The easiest levels feature simple challenges with steady targets. Harder levels have moving targets and even some tougher challenges. You get three shots in each round. Upon the completion of one shot, you will be moved back for harder and longer shots. Trust me. This is NOT easy, especially in the hardest stages.
Basketball.
You can take part in a three-point shooting contest (Which I normally do), or you can play a game of three-on-three basketball. The three-point contest sends you behind the three-point arc from five different positions. You know what to expect if you've seen real-life three-point contest. You have sixty seconds to drain as many threes as possible. You're shooting 25 balls, five on each rack. The multi-colored ball is the bonus ball (which is also often called the "money ball"). Each three drained is worth one point while the bonus balls are worth two points. So if you do your math, a maximum of 30 points is on the line. Pick up a ball, quickly shoot it, then reach down to get another ball and shoot again. The most I had in the contest was about 13 or 15 points. The traditional basketball game gives you only one shot in alternating fashion. Try to hit the basket on offense and block the ball on defense.
Table Tennis.
I haven't played the Table Tennis before, so I'll leave this up to you.
Golf.
Enjoy the gentlemanly game of golf. Swing the club right, hit the balls straight, go for the Fairways, make your putts... and you'll be fine.
Bowling.
I LOVE Bowling in this game! The angle you start with gives you the change to curve up your shot. It's also easier to control your swings. Go for the Strike, baby! I got a few Turkeys in my play. If you're tough enough and brave enough, try the 100-pin challenge! With over 100 pins, you get some help as to what the headpin is because it's colored red. There are some crazy ways to bowl strikes, and only twice have I knocked out all 100 pins in one swing. Never bowled doubles or turkeys yet, though. There's a nice challenge called Spin Control. A barrier is in your way, and the only way to send the ball down the way is to navigate the barrier and curve up your swing. I think on my first try, I bowled a strike.
Power Cruising (Jet Skiing). (Nunchuk Required)
Ride the waves on your jet ski and try to clear the checkpoints.
Canoeing.
I have no experience with this, so I'll leave it up to you here.
Cycling. (Nunchuk Required)
The goal of cycling is to navigate a course while placing as high as you can. It can sometimes be like the Tour de France from Hell, especially in the later stages. You need to concentrate on cycling properly and avoid overusing your energy. If you pedal too fast for too long, you'll exhaust yourself and lose valuable position and time. Take on one stage, or do a three-stage or a tour of all six available stages.
Air Sports.
This event is very diverse. Most of the action gives you memories of the Super Nintendo classic, Pilotwings. The Skydiving event has you trying to tag as many people as possible in the air. The more people you try and connect with, the more points you score. And what I don't understand is... there's bonus points if their faces are visible as you're trying to connect people. The Island Flyover takes you on a sea plane as you fly over various "i" points. Get as many of these points as possible by flying over certain points. Funny enough, the plane has some kind of shooter to it. Not sure what you'd shoot at, though... I haven't done the dogfight because that requires two players. Be careful flying because you can actually crash your plane. Fly carefully! You can also perform barrel rolls and stuff while flying.
Overall, this is a very fun game. It's the first Wii Sports game I played, and it's a lovely game. Give yourself that workout you want! Test your skill in the myriad of games and mini-games within each event. It's sure to keep you busy for quite some time.
