Wii Sports Resort

[Drago]

Jess' parents got a Wii and are obsessed with the Wii series, so I've gotten to play with this one a bit... It's fun, but I'll probably wait a while before delving into a purchase. Whereas the original Wii Sports was great as a chance to play around with the Wii for the first time, I found myself cycling through the games available here and then wondering... now what?

I was surprised to find that my favourite was the sword fighting, and in particular the mode where you take on the oncoming legions. It's quite simplistic, but tons of fun, and the physics of Miis are hilarious. Just like how it was fun watching them plonk to the mat when KO'd in Boxing, watching them go flying from a swipe of the sword is great fun.

I haven't tried out the multiplayer potential of the game yet (getting a second attachment just for the one game right now isn't a worthwhile investment), but I reckon I could have some fun with that, too...

At some point I'm going to splurge and buy it, plus finally give in to my demons and grab Animal Crossing (half-price at JB NOM NOM)

I think the fact that it's a full $50 game and not just a pack in made Nintendo really step up their game.

Not really... It's got a few more sports to play with, but none of them are terribly deep, and when you think about it, it's basically the same as playing more elaborate Mario Party minigames without the board game.
