Sports Resort Sky Diving

REVIEW:
Five…four…three…two…one….Yaaaaaaaaaaaah. Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it’s Mii (and you) skydiving down to Wuhu Island, the Wii Sports Resort Capital of planet Nintendo. Well ok maybe there is no screaming as it’s only a game, but strange enough jumping out of a plane as you skydive down to the island where Zorro’s are born is still great fun and a heck of a lot safer than jumping out of a real plane. The Wii Sport Resort is a place where Backhands are useful, Short Pimples are full up and Cutting Drills can “save” your life. Intrigued? Well read further and all will be revealed.

Wuhu Island has soooooooo many things to do that there is never a dull moment. You and your companions can expect a host of activities – twelve to be exact with lots of mini games within each of the main sports. Once you’ve completed your Skydive the following awaits you:

Archery

Basketball

Power Cruising

Archery: The Wii Remote is the front of your bow and you mimick drawing on the bow’s string by pulling the nunchuk back. You’ll be pleasantly surprised at how much fun this is…………. put that apple on your head my dear.

Basketball: A clever range of motion controls and simple button inputs allow for dribbling, passing, blocking and shooting………….and now white men can also jump!

Frisbee: About as exciting as …………….well throwing frisbee can be and if you’ve ever played with a frisbee, you’ll know it only takes about 5 minutes before you’re bored. There are however a few options available in this mode that some folks will probably enjoy.

Tenpin Bowling

Bowling: Bowling is great and a very real life game thanks to the spin you are able to put on the ball because of the Wii MotionPlus. In acftual fact you can generate so much spin that a mini game within bowling exists where you need to bowl around obstacles. The best part about bowling………….you don’t have to wear those stinky bowling shoes that “Mr. Athletes Foot” with the cheesy toes wore before you got there. What, you thought everyone wearing those bowling shoes bath every day? Yeah, I know that’s just gross but it’s probably not far from the truth. There there, calm down. What’s done is done – how were you to know? The good news is no more stinky gross bowling shoes.

Cycling: What a Boooooooorrrriiiiiiiiiiing game. Put your arms in front of you and doggy paddle – that’s how you cycle. If real cycling is this boring it’s no wonder the guys riding the Tour de France are doping. I would too if I had to cycle for so many days and it’s anything like cycling in this game. Anyone who likes this game needs to be moved from Wuhu Island to Cookoo Island.

Canoeing: Now you would think this would be more boring than cycling. Not so. It’s definitely a little slow pased but very amusing………….row row row your boat gently down the stream, Wii Wii Wii-iiii….life is but a dream!

Power Cruising: Use the remotes as handlebars to race between floating archways. It’s ok but not the best Wii game ever.

Table Tennis

Table Tennis: The awesome capabilities of the Wii MotionPlus ensures all of the games on Wii Sports Resort are extremely interactive and great fun, but this is never more evident than when you’re playing table tennis. You don’t even need Short Pimples. No, Short Pimples is not the name of the short table tennis instructor with lots of pimples at the resort – it’s actually a type of racket covering. True’s Bob – search it on the net I’m not kidding – it apparently assists with spinning the ball. Anyways, you won’t be needing any short pimples to spin the ball when playing Wii table tennis. Don’t think it’s as easy as pie though. With Wii MotionPlus you will actually have to hit the ball as if you were playing real table tennis. For example, the racket needs to be on the correct side of your body when hitting the ball and the angle of the racket also needs to be correct. Thanks to the increased sensitivity you’ll have more control and better spin. Don’t forget about those backhands I mentioned in the opening paragraph – they certainly come in useful. Hah, and you thought I was talking about a job in the government when I mentioned backhands.

Air Sports: Skydiving is really cool even if it’s not real life. You can also fly over the island by holding the Wii Remote as if it were a paper plane.

Swordplay: In swordplay you will attack and defend as you fight plenty of Mii characters. Oh, and don’t think for one second this is nilly willy business. Three hits and you’re out of there so you better have practised your cutting drills (a term used in fencing that describes practising how to “cut” someone).

Golf: Fade, slice or draw. You’ll never have to spend as much time looking for your ball in Wii Golf as you do on the real golf course which of course is Awesome…………good fun if golf is your thing.

Wakeboarding: This one is for the water sports enthusiast.The game is fun but probably the most basic of all the Wii Sports on the island and not really my scene. Some of you might enjoy it though.

Wii Sports Resort

Now we don’t want to tell you everything we know about the game – there has to be a few surprizes. What we do need to mention is a few of the games are a bit dull, so don’t say we didn’t tell you so. The good games however far overshadow the dull one’s and these will keep you well entertained.

Overall Wii Sports Resort is exactly like going on holiday. First of all a holiday is much better with friends and family than when going alone and the same counts for the Wii Sports Resort game – it’s much better when played with someone. Secondly, everyone enjoys a holiday and everyone will also enjoy Wii Sports. More importantly everyone is also able to play Wii Sports irrespective of your age (within reason) or your gaming skill level – which is exactly what one has come to expect from Wii. Although the real hard core gamers will probably not enjoy this game, it is a great buy for the social gamer. Wii Sports Resort provides an awesome, realistic and immersive gaming experience that will ensure hours of fun and laughter.
