Wii Sports

(UPDATED: February 21, 2012)

Wii Sports, to many people, has been the alternative to going to the gym for a workout. Wii Sports is a collection of sporting events designed to test your abilities as well as giving your Wiimote quite the workout. This blog entry concerns only the very first Wii Sports title. I'm going to share my experiences with Wii Sports.

Wii Sports
^ from: wiislim.wordpress.com - Wii Sports is available for all Wii consoles, but is offered separately as a backup or a replacement. An Amazon link at the end of this blog entry will direct you to the original Wii Sports on Amazon.





Wii Sports: Tennis.

Wii Sports Tennis
^ from: kevdo.com - You'll need plenty of skill and patience to make it in Tennis. Serve up some trouble for the guy or girl on the other side of the net. Doubles play is also available.

In Tennis, you play a regular game of tennis. You take part in Doubles action. You don't play multiple sets. It's basically just a single set you play. I'm not good at tennis at all. Don't watch tennis, don't really like tennis, but I have played this Wii Sports rendition and thought it was cool.


Wii Sports: Baseball.

Wii Sports Baseball
^ from: www.hmtk.com - Get ready for three innings of hardball. This game is NOT a baseball simulation. Just keep getting base hits and even Home Runs. A Home Run challenge is also available for this game.

In Baseball, you're only responsible for two things- batting and pitching. There are three innings. Your job at the plate is to swing the ball and get some base hits going. On the mound, you're trying to pitch strikes. This is not a proper game of baseball. It isn't like you go for curve balls, try to steal bases, changing up pitchers, or anything like that. The first game I played in Wii Sports Baseball, I won 2-0, doing my damage in the third inning.


Wii Sports: Golf.

Wii Sports Golf
^ from: www.frequencycast.co.uk - Swing for the fences and hit those fairways. Do these things, and you'll do just fine in Wii Sports Golf.

Golf isn't one of my fortes, as I don't watch golf. Trying to get a good feel of swinging for the fences can be fun in this game. Again, this is no sim. You have a putter, a wedge, an iron, and of the course... the driver. You can get a few test swings to practice your shot before taking a real one. I couldn't sink a sing put when I played this past Sunday.


Wii Sports: Bowling.
Wii Sports Bowling
^ from: graysmatter.codivation.com - Prepare for ten frames of bowling goodness. Try to find your comfort zone and bowl like a champion!

Bowling is one of my favorite recreational sports, and it's also my favorite sport in Wii Sports. Bowling is very fun in this game. The way you're set up, you can easily attack the head pin with a roll up the middle. I average a score of about 170 in Wii Sports (as well as Wii Sports Resort).


Wii Sports: Boxing. (Nunchuk Required)
Wii Sports Boxing
^ from: www.ducksters.com - While you may not get Mills Lane saying "Let's get it on!", you'll still get three intense rounds mastering the Sweet Science of Boxing.

The only game that requires the Nunchuk is this game. You need it to punch with your other hand. This game is sure to make you sweat after trying to knock out the other boxer. It all works very well and is just as intense as a real boxing match. Think of it as a friendly version of Punch-Out!! I was never knocked out, but I almost got taken down by one boxer.





The other two modes relate to Training and in helping you determine your fitness age. Use these two modes to challenge yourself with skill competitions. I love Wii Sports Resort, but I also like the very first Wii Sports title. Play this game even if you haven't played it yet.
