Wii - Nintendo
Finally, a game to rival the original 'Wii Sports.' Now we have lots more sports to try our hand with the added accuracy of control, which the 'Wii motion plus' offers (packaged with the game). A good initial assessment of this is the excellent sword fighting, where you can make subtle movements and angles to block or strike your opponent to knock them of the podium and into the water. Skydiving allows you (in a surprisingly relaxing activity) to fly through the sky creating formations and forming routines.

There are more energetic activities such as cycling and canoeing, but what all the activities have in common is the intuitiveness of the controls, which includes the lack of the need for timed button presses. A major improvement on the original wii sports bowling is that on the version on this you can choose to play in ‘automatic’ mode, which allows you to bowl without needing to let go of the ‘B’ button to release the ball at the right moment. You do need to still hold it down, just not release it. The ‘automatic’ option is also available for the Frisbee throwing, which offers various activities such as throwing for your dog to catch or hitting targets.

Wii Sports Resort impresses on it’s number, range of quality of activities and offers an exciting introduction to the wii motion plus accessory.
