My buddy Joe picked up a copy of the Wii's newest creation, Wii Sports Resort. Let me say...wow. I can honestly say that I haven't had this much fun with a video game in a long, LONG, time. This game is that good and, once again, gives two middle fingers to game producers who think graphics make the game.
In a nutshell, Wii Sports Resort 12 games in 1, including basketball, frisbee, swordplay, power cruising, table tennis, air sports, arhcery, cycling, canoeing, wake boarding, and the return of golf and bowling. This isn't even mentioning the various different types of game modes that are available to unlock. Quite simply, throwing in a free Wii Motion Plus accessory, this might be the best 50 dollar bargain available to Wii owners. Certainly, it's a must own.
I'm not here to tell you about even sport, but I will tell you that the control is spot on. I mean, it's pulled off without a single hiccup. The feel of every sport is so natural that it is one of the more easier games to just pick up and play...EVER. Although there is a small problem in the basketball's 3-point contest mode when picking up the balls to shoot, it is an issue that a player will solve after a few play thoroughs.
What makes this game so much fun is the fact that you are moving, something that has made the Wii so popular and challenges the other 2 consoles so well. These games will make you move, and sometimes, break a sweat! I'm not kidding...trying to defend yourself playing the sword play game, or riding up the side of a volcano, against the wind, in cycling will REALLY get your heart rate up. It's not terribly taxing on you, but it the feeling of moving so much during a video game is kinda refreshing. I guess I just scared off the fat ass gamers. Oh well..go play DDR at the movie theaters...fat fucks.
The only real issue I have with the game is the exclusion of baseball (which was my favorite from the original Wii Sports). I do think that it would have made the game would have been so much better if they had included, and improved, the baseball game. Still...it's not a big deal after shooting down some other bum's airplane!
Without slurping this game way too much, and looking to big the biggest Nintendo fan boy this side of the AVGN, I'll wrap this up here. Play this game...buy this game. It is such a fun game to play, and isn't that what all this video game nonsense is supposed to be? Fun? Remember fun...well, welcome to Wii Sports Resort: where there is plenty of fun to be had.
