I will never recommend Amazon to anyone! In fact I have told anyone who will listen what dreadful customer service you have, and how I have not received my order even after been billed for it. Your customer service sucks!!!!

This game was visibly scratched and has not worked at all. And I am now having problems exchanging the game. I would seriously question the quality of harvest coming from Couch Potato Sports meeting. I believe the right test of a company is not if they have problems, it is how they handle those problems. And I reflect they really responded poorly to my issue. Yours truly, a lost customer forever!

My grading scale with Wii Sports meeting looks like this …
5 star = A must play. No improvements need to be made. Has replay regard (this is very vital). I do not give out 5 star reviews open-heartedly. I consider any game worth playing, and owning is a 4 star game (which is my way of saying its 5 stars). Im very strict on 5 stars.
4 star = Even if its my favorite game for the Wii, I will hand out 4 stars to it cause I can view some improvements to be made. OR it does not have replay regard (meaning I played it once, I loved it but Im not gonna play it again). Either way, it was a game I would prefer over its competition / genre. I like to give any splendid game 4 stars just so I can leave some room for a potential 5 star future improvement of the game.
3 star = Playable and fun game, I would recommend it but there may be a better alternative (a game that received a 4 star in the same genre)
2 star = Not worth playing. No need to buy. Much better sports meeting out there in the same genre.
1 star = Asinine game. A dissipate of time. No need to bother.
And now we can continue with the actual review for Wii Sports … First of all, I am a 24 year ancient male. I am not pleased seeing a lot of 4 and 5 star reviews for this game. Its as if no other sports meeting were played therefore the reviewers had not anything to compare the game to. I can know that as Wii Sports comes with a new Nintendo Wii. This is not a hot launch title like Super Mario 64 was for the N64. In no way should this game have the same review rating as Super Mario 64. I would give this game a 1.5 as it is 5 sports meeting in one but ratings need to be lowered! As to not fool anyone out there that this is a hot product, because it is NOT. I am one that relies on Amazon reviews for a lot of the harvest I buy. So I do not want to be misinformed. People who buy the Nintendo Wii spend their time playing hot titles like Zelda, Super Mario Galaxy, Metroid Prime 3, Resident Evil 4, Mariokart Wii, etc. THIS GAME, “Wii Sports” can be seen left in its packaging unopened by a Wii owner. If I could sell this game I’d be pleased. If you buy a Wii that does not have Wii Sports, please buy a different game. As I’m sure you can always borrow this from a friend. In fact, they may very well give it to you. I would.
So lets look at this game … The title of this review is “too much intrinsic ratings”. What I mean by this is the high ratings are given to this game because it has a strong relationship with the Nintendo Wii console. Nintendo Wii is of splendid success (and even having this Wii Sports game included with it, I would still offer 5 stars to Nintendo Wii). But this individual game needs to be reviewed for the game that it is. And not a psychological view that 1) it is mutual with the Nintendo Wii (dont want to give a terrible review to the game that piggybacks with a remarkable console), or 2) it is often the first game played on the Nintendo Wii. In fact being the most handed out game (how often are hand outs considered well loved?) this game has only received less than 20 reviews. Maybe its because hardcore gamers have no interest in this game, or never bothered to play it. As I had no intention playing this game when I bought my first Nintendo Wii.
So lets look at what it offers … these are all small sports meeting. Not anything competitive, or innovative. An introduction as other reviewers have mentioned. This is more like a demo. Or a tutorial for the real version of the sports meeting. And is very PONGY.
Baseball … only 3 innings. Cant play defense. Use no thought. You just pitch, and bat. While the computer plays the fielders. No double plays can be made, no pick-offs. I consider it an 80’s baseball version of pong. It is very simplicit. What I mean by this is when you hit the ball, as soon as the fielder touches it, it will tell you whether you received a release, a double, or a triple. Can you presume playing a baseball game on an 80’s computer? Where it tells you what happens. Yes, like that. You dont tell the runners where to go or have ANY interaction with the fielders. Its very basic. Pitch the ball by swinging down. Then hit the ball by swinging across. And thats IT. Let the computer take care of the rest. No buttons need to be hard-pressed in this game.
Tennis … this game reminded me when I was in Las Vegas. I played a game called “Ace Tennis” on one of those virtual game touch-screen machines at a bar. Again, its very unadorned, just swing the remote at the right time. Doesnt take any thought. The ball seems to always go over the net and land in the same spot everytime. You can do this with your eyes closed. And not to mention but when playing release player, you play on a team of two. I played best out of 5 sports meeting, and best out of 3 sports meeting, the player on my team NEVER hit the ball. He was just a stand in, I did all the work. The same was right on the opponents team, he just slid back and forth by the side of the net, didnt do anything unless I hit a slow one just over the net. And agony finally pong it back to me. I literally spent 5 minutes going back and forth with the tennis ball. Just same ol same ol. Opponent doesnt make mistakes (he did once though I’ll admit so consider it rare).
Boxing … first day I got my Wii (I had no other sports meeting) I couldnt sleep that night. So I got up at 1:30am. Didnt have anything to do at the computer so I played Wii Sports. I had played Wii Sports for over an hour earlier that day to get used to the game. It was kind of fun at first cause you’re learning the game and wondering if this really is that 4+ star game!! … so I get up at 1:30am and I really didnt want to play it but I had no choice lol. I searched owing to the game TRYING to find a reason to like it but I couldnt. Boxing is probably my favorite sport here. I spent an hour boxing. It gets harder after each fight you win. Eventually after an hour you get frustrated cause you cant get any punches owing to and it tires you out. The controls are a small tough too. Punches I wanted to do would rarely register (the low or side punches). You can literally win rounds with not anything but high punches (which is keeping the remotes in front of your head and swinging down as if you’re beating a drum). That unadorned. But the only reason I liked the boxing is cause it was a nice workout for the arms. After an hour you will feel a light sweat, become a small tired, you feel the blood pumping owing to your arm. So boxing is something I can consider apart of a workout plot. But there could be a much better option like Wii Fit, or a more in-depth boxing game like Facebreaker for example. In fact the mini sports meeting on Rayman Raving Rabbids gave me a better workout when I was beating a drum listening to a song. It made me go my body as I rhythm’d to the beat.
Golf … frustrating. I’m not a golf fan myself. This isnt Tiger Woods here, you cant customize, or play in competitive championships. Im sure Carnival sports meeting: MiniGolf is a much better option. Brings you more into the game. This golf here is very basic. You hit the ball in the hole, try to make par, and then you do it again lol. Very “pong-y”
Bowling … bowling was hard for me. I didnt really master it. I had fun when I first played. Though having been without a game console for 6 months I was quite keen to play a Nintendo Wii again so I was thrilled no matter what I played =)
And that sums up my review. This is a very PONGY game, as in basic / beginner / tutorial / demo. Its not your top of the line sport game here. I really hope this isnt viewed as a remarkable game for the Wii. I reflect the future of gaming has yet to come, Nintendo Wii being apart of that future and this game is just not it. Its pong. And you sure dont want to spend $30? on this game. Wow. I reflect the market is overpriced on that. Especially with so many in production it will greatly drop in regard with time. I in person might play this game again. As I mentioned, boxing is a light workout. And Tennis is a virtual game I played at a bar having some drinks. So I wouldnt mind re-living that memory. And thats about it. Dont give yourself high expectations for this game coming from an adult perspective. For your outcome, they’ll find more fun to it but still better alternatives for them ===

I did notice it came in a package like gamestop used sports meeting and a quick inspection showed small scratches on the back but i bought it for christmas so I won’t know until then how well it plays.

Not sure why the CS fails… unless it’s a poor copy. All other sports meeting work splendid. We realy loved the game (Original, that came with the Wii but got lost). Oh well, you win some you lose some.
