Amazon.co.uk Review::
In a nutshell:
If you want as gentle an introduction as possible to the world of Wii then this user-friendly compilation of mini-games is just the thing for you, with a collection of games that are as easy to play as they are fun.

The lowdown:
It might be easy to use but the Wii is still a pretty unusual beast and a bit of a culture shock from the overly complex controllers of other consoles. This compilation of mini-games aims to ease you in gently with simple to play games that only need the Wii Remote to enjoy. These include games of table tennis, air hockey (or Laser Hockey as the game would have it) and an updated of NES classic Duck Hunt. There's also Wii Billiards, a fishing sim and a number of games which use your customised Mii Channel character, including Wii Pose and the Where's Wally style Find Mii. Since many of these games have a multiplayer mode the game also comes bundled with an extra Remote (but not a nunchuck), which usually sells for £29.99 separately.

Most exciting moment:
Although all of the games are fun the best one is probably the Duck Hunt update (which also has you shooting UFOs and other non-avian enemies). Perhaps what's most exciting about it is that it proves how good other light gun franchises, such as Virtua Cop and Time Crisis would be on the Wii.

Since you ask:
Many of the mini-games included with Wii Play, such as Duck Hunt and Table Tennis, were first seen as technical demos at the E3 trade conference in May 2006, when the Wii was first revealed in playable form.

The bottom line:
The beginner's guide to Wii, with a handy extra controller. - HARRISON DENT




Rating: - Remote and a game
A lot of people have posted on here slating the game. Yes, its not fantastic, but its not meant to be! Its a way of introducing people to the new controller and how to use it. Yes, it has nothing on wii sports, but it never claims to be anything brilliant.

There are ten mini games. Honestly, you wont play them all over and over again, however if you have young kids they will love the chase game where you play as a cow, its easy to control and play and kids love it. Also the shooting ... Read More

Rating: - Not a great game, but worth it if you need a second remote
The games here aren't amazing, all having the air of demos about them rather than actual games, and with the possible exceptions of the billiards and table tennis games, there's little real longevity in any of them.

However, if you need an extra controller this is only a few pounds extra, and therefore well worth getting, but be prepared for the novelty of the games to wear off very quickly.

Rating: - Don't buy unless it is free
Wii Play is only worth getting if it's a cheap way of getting a controller. The game itself is rubbish - is only useful to learn how to use the Wii controller - which you can learn on any game anyway.

Rating: - Wii Remote + Play
Once you have purchased a Wii, make sure this is your second purchase. You will certainly need a second remote(plus a 3rd & 4th maybe later on).

This is ideal with play included, the game is not mind blowing ... but its great and simple to play with a slection of games. Its well worth the purchase

Rating: - wii play
Wii play is one of the best games i have got for the wii! having an extra controler is realy useful, and not many other people think this, but I think the 9 mini-games are brilliant! the graphics are great and precise as well.
