Good Set Of Mini GamesDec 13, 2008
By megapenguinx The standalone game is good, however it is lacking in a few aspects.I played all the mini games through to collect the gold medals, but in reality the only 2 I kept coming back to were the 9-ball game and the Tank Game. The life of this game is only extended when playing with another person for a short while before it gets a bit boring. To me, this game seemed more like a tech demo than an actually game. I recommend getting it, but not the standalone version. Get the version with a wii-mote because then it'd be like picking this up for about $10.

How to use the wii remote.Mar 15, 2010
By B. Ramsey
"AnyMouse"
This is basically a series of exercises to practice using the Wii remote. If you've played another game, then you don't need this one. I could see spending a few plays on a couple of the mini-games here, like the billiards or tanks games, but no more. I bought the Wii Play version bundled with a Wii remote. That way it was just a few dollars more than just buying a remote. I don't see any reason to buy this otherwise. Of course, other opinions may vary.

Great for little ones just getting started!Nov 07, 2011
By gy03045 This set of games was just perfect for our 4 and 5 year olds who are just getting used to working with the remote and playing games on the Wii. No jarring graphics or overly disturbing scenes. These are all plain simple games that everyone would enjoy. The graphics are not the best as one would expect from today's technology, but that's a minor issue. We are loving this game!

My young kids enjoy the games!Dec 07, 2009
By R. Santos
"quality Santa"
They play it often all but the pool. Matching, shooting and tank game are my four year old son's favorite. He can play completely on his own, but usually his sister joins him. My 6 year old daughter likes it a little less than my son, but any time she has friends sleep over she and her friends usually put this in and have a blast. Even my one year old started playing now the shooting and cow racing game. My husband and I both enjoy it, also.
+ still one of the most played here after one year + not much reading, so young kids can play unassisted + the entire family can play - 2 at a time - only one game that's a bit physical (the cow race-> jumping, though could just move remote up and down quickly)

A decent game but not greatJun 04, 2008
By C. Petit Basically, this game is a more polished version of various Wii demos.
The games are somewhat fun---though they will probably be more fun for kids than for adults. But, the games themselves aren't exactly classics, just little things to pass the time.
As party games---in 2 player modes---the games are a bit more fun, but Wii Play isn't a superb party game.
If you need an extra controller, the Wii Play with Remote is a good buy. If you want to add a new game for you Wii, this won't be incredibly entertaining, though it will be cute.
