Introduction
=========

WiiPlay. Is it just another game made by Nintendo to show new and unique ways to use the WiiMote? The answer is yes, and no. When saying yes, i mean is that you get a free WiiMote with the game. Cool Eh? And no, when i say this, i mean that the game itself SUCKS! Sure, their is Duck Hunt, or weird paper fishing but come on....PAPER FISHING!! LEIK LETS GO TO NINTENDO AND THROW A REAL FISH AT SATORA IWATAS FACE AND SHOW HIM WHAT A REAL FISH LOOKS LIKE! OR WHO EVER MADE THE GAME.

=======
Game play
=======

Well if you actually pick up the game or heard of the game you will know that the game is divided into a selection of 9 different mini games of pure stupidness. The games are:

Shooting Range, where you shoot different items, such as ducks, space ships, cans, maybe a REAL FISH and whatnot. It brings the Duck Hunt game from the NES to the Wii, with no zapper tho.

Then their is Find a Mii where you have to look for a Mii that you are given and you have to look for the Mii in a group of other Miis that are in your Mii Parade.

Another game is Table Tennis. This game is fun. Seriously. I actually enjoyed playing this mini game. The game is easy. Just move your WiiMote back and forth of where the ball is gonna go that will hit the CPU paddle.

Another game is Pose Mii. The stupidest of the stupidest of all of the stupidest world of sucking. Yes, i said and i feel proud. You have your Mii where you twist it and put it into bubbles that have 3 or 4 different poses. Such as the Egyptian Dance position, or the regular I'm stupid drunk position (normal).

Another game is Laser Hockey. Mh....this game is a stupid rip off of pong! Like you got these weird stupid laser things that you hit, LIKE IN PONG, and yea. Thats all their is to it.......

Another game is Billiards, or Pool if you Ghetto kids call it these days. This game is another fun one. To break the ball you hold A and pull back the WiiMote and then pull forward the WiiMote to hit the ball. Its really easy.

Now my favorite game, PAPER FISHING!, NOT! This is another member of the stupidest of the stupidest game of stupidest earth town. This game is more worse then Wheres Waldo for the NES and Alvin and the Chipmunks: A Christmas Special for NES COMBINED! Like come on, who in the right mind would want to play a game where the fish for stupid paper fish? Maybe Trapte, or Seyasha or who else? Huh? Yea, thats right NO ONE! To play, you simply just move the WiiMote towards the screen and when a fish icon appears you catch it by flipping the WiiMote up.

Another game is Cow Hurdle. This game is kinda fun. You get on a Cow and go through and obstacle coarse, such as jumping over a fence or mud pile. You push the WiiMote up to jump. You also have to hit scarecrows on the way to the ending. You need to get points to win. So by hitting scarecrows and successfully jumping over the obstacles will gain your more points.

And finally, the best of the best, and I'm serious. BATTLE TANKS! This game is Really fun! You move around with the DPad, aim where you are gonna shoot and press B to shoot! Its really fun when you have someone else play.

After every mini game you play you get a metal. Like in WiiSports.

Conclusion
========

This is hard for me to say. Buy this game IF you want to buy another WiiMote because a WiiMote and a free stupid game. Its a good deal, i guess. And if your NOT looking for an extra WiiMote to buy and is thinking to buy this. Well I'm telling you. You would have more fun with you bought Alvin and the Chipmunks: Christmas Album and played Barbies Dream House for the GBA then to play WiiPlay. If you are young, like 10 years or younger then you will enjoy this game

Not Recommended only if you just want the game. Its Recommended if you want another WiiMote

Re: WiiPlay Review
uhhhh...sorry, but this review doesn't represent the game very well. none of the games are "remakes", and you're bashing them for that. you use opinionated statements as "cons" (i, for one have never gotten a cramp from table tennis, and my high score is 67) plus, you say that in billiards, sometimes it doesn't break. that's because the person playing isn't doing it right, just as in real pool. fishing is fun, the controls are innovative and easy. the "stupid backgrounds" and "weird music" are meant to be goofy and funny.

overall, dun buy into this review too much, ppl. wiiplay is a good demonstration of the wii controls and it's a fun game to play.

*IN MY OPINION, COS.

I have the game and only bought it for the Wiimote. I bet you anywhere on the internet that you will never see a WiiPlay Review of 6/10 or over because the game just sucks. And before posting some crap about me and what i think is just stupid. People have their own thoughts on games. You have yours and i have mine. SO just dont go saying this review sucked or what i thought sucked in the game. ITS MY REVIEW NOT YOURS, so stop trying to act like it is. People loved Red Steel and reviews have been getting like 5/10. So just be quiet. You dont know what you are saying.

it IS your review. the purpose of a review is to illustrate aspects of the game to OTHER people. thus, i, being one such "other people", am inclined to input my disagreements or support in order to give readers a better look at the featured game. i wasn't starting an argument or saying your opinions were invalid, i was simply stating my own thoughts on the game. i suggest we end this discussion here, so as not to further aggravate each other.
