The first game that came with my Nintendo Wii was Wii-Sports, although the graphics were basic, the gameplay was far from that. Millions of people have spent countless hours playing Wii Sports and now its about to get an upgrade.
The new Wii Sports Resort is coming to Nintendo’s games console in Spring 2009; it will add many extra features, games and improved graphics.
Game People have given the game a rough review and answered some popular questions like the one below:
What Does This Game Add to the Genre?
Wii-Sports Resort continues the tradition set by its predecessor of enabling gamers of all ages to play sports games without complex controls and button presses. Even though the original Wii-Sports was a big success, it at times struggled to keep track of your exact movements. Wii-Sports Resort with MotionPlus, provides much more accurate controls. This is seen in the one-to-one relationship between the player and the on screen character. This means players to replicate real world motions to perform in the various sporting activities.
This game complements the activities in the original Wii-Sports game with a range of games. Frisbee requires that you precisely match angle and momentum to throw a disc towards a target so your Nintendogs-like pooch can catch and return it. Jet Skiing is more familiar in video games, although here you use the MotionPlus enabled Wii-Mote and Nun-chuck as the handle bars, controlling both throttle and direction. Fencing shows off the new Wii-Mote’s accuracy as you face up against other opponents, or the sword play mini games.
Other questions addressed include What Sort of Game is This, What do People Play this Game To Experience, How Much Free Time is Required to Play It and What Factors Impact on Suitability for Novice/Expert Young/Old Players.

Yes I’ll be buying this. 1:1 Movement sword-fighting is just too much of a draw. It would also be nice if Nintendo would include enhanced versions of the 6 sports we had in Wii Sports in ‘Resort’ - to make use of MotionPlus and to ensure that I can have an accurate game of golf with my mates…. and tennis…. and boxing….
