Back in the day Wii Play cost $49.99 hardly worth the money for just 9 mini-games.  However there was an extra bonus: you get a free Wiimote with the game.

A Wiimote is $40.00 so the game itself is really just $9.99.  I think everything is still the same as of now.

Wii Play brings in an assortment of mini-games that involves your Mii whether it’s just simply playing as them, or just look for them.

Now-a-days 9 mini-games aren’t going to get you anywhere for $50.00, but for $10.00, now we’re talking.

Pro:	Some of the mini-games are still fun to play You get a Wiimote with the game
Con:	Just 9 mini-games and no story, gameplay, or anything else isn’t going to take you anywhere It only works for a short burst of multiplayer competition, when you have a friend for example.

Wii Play Gameplay

Controls

There are 9 games and each of them has their own controls.  However they all have instructions, and really all you have to do is usually point your Wiimote at

the screen to play about half of the games/

Gameplay

When you first open this multiplayer Wii game you only have one game open to play.  Now don’t panic, because it’s very easy to unlock the next games.  You just have to play the game before it to get the next one.

Once you have unlocked them all you can invite someone over and challenge them in the games.  You can keep track of your wins with the games you played with your friends.  So basically if you want to crush them with proof, the proof is in the score!

Wii Play Multiplayer

Okay here we go… all of the mini-games here have multiplayer.  You just have to unlock the game first.

• Shooting Range – Things like balloons, birds, and targets will fly in the sky, and you have to shoot them.  There are 5 levels and the person who has the
  

  Tanks! One of the, if not best games here!

  most points wins.

• Find Mii – You have a set amount of time to look for Mii’s.  They have to fit conditions like identical, the fastest one, the odd one out, etc.  Obviously the person with the least points at the end loses.
• Table Tennis – It’s Table Tennis.  You serve the ball to your opponents, and when they return it back to you smash it back at them.
• Pose Mii – On the screen are shapes of your Mii that you have to match their poses by twisting your Wiimote.  Things are easy at first, but then you have to literally flip your Mii backwards.
• Laser Hockey – You control a paddle and smack the ball past your friends defenses and into the goal.  The person who gets the most points wins.
• Billiards – You play billiards, what else can I say?
• Fishing – Fish for fishies!  Drop your Wiimote into the water, and once a fish bites on pull up!
• Charge! – You play with the Wiimote horizontally as you control a mad cow.  Your goal is to smash through the scarecrows.  If you hit them in a line you get bonus points.  The person with the most points in the end wins!
• Tanks! – This is the only game that requires the Nunchuck.  You and a friend Co-Op clear stages by elimination enemy tanks.  Now you could kill each other, but one point or another you have to reach a mutual understanding if you ever want to progress any further.

Conclusion

This is a great game, not worth fifty, but is totally worth ten. It’s shallow, for a real game, but deep, for a mini-game.

The game isn’t worth fifty, but if you want a new Wiimote, and don’t mind a small extra amount of money, this game is one you should likely consider.
