Wii Play Review

Wii Play includes 9 mini games that utilize the Wii-mote's gyroscopes and pointing ability.

#1 Shooting Range: A throwback to the original Duckhunt as you fire at various objects with the remote. Probably my favorite mini game.
#2 Find Mii: Nintendo's attempt at Where's Waldo.
#3 Table Tennis: Pong with a spiffier interface.
#4 Pose Mii: Tilt the controller to match the orientation.
#5 Laser Hockey: Table Hockey
#6 Billiards: A rather inventive way of using the Wii-Mote to shoot some pool
#7 Fishing: Move the controller around to tempt the fishes and see if you can't get a good catch.
#8 Charge: Hold the controller sideways and tilt it forward to increase speed and tilt left or right to turn the cow that you're riding.
#9 Tanks!: Steer with the Nunchuck or the Direction Pad and try to kill all the other tanks before they kill you.

There's not too much replay value here but $50 dollars gets you another Wii-mote and this game. If you only have one remote, I say you might as well get it and add to your mini games collection, but buy it for the second controller, not the game.
