Wii Sports is one of the launch titles for the Nintendo Wii.
It doesn't try to be a masterpiece and a brilliant experience like Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, or Super Mario Galaxy.
It's just a game for everyone and THAT is what makes this game fun. Some people like to call this game a MASTERPIECE, I think it's too simple and basic to call a masterpiece, but I get why they say it is. I like the motion controls. My favorite sports are boxing and tennis in this game. I sometimes have problems playing baseball and tennis with the motion controls being sometimes somewhat clunky. But all and all Wii sports is a classic and a fun game. I wouldn't say that if you buy a Wii you should get it if it isn't included with the wii that you bought just because it's too expensive now for what it is. I think games like Super Mario Galaxy, Goldeneye 007, Twilight Princess, Disney's Epic Mickey, and Wii Play are better value with the 10-20 dollars range of Wii games rather than paying 35 dollars for Wii Sports. If it comes with the console, that's GREAT but if it doesn't, buy it after. I recommend this game to anyone. A 9.5/10 in it's genre and a 9/10 overall.

Traditionally, Nintendo has launched its new video game consoles with software titles revolving around Mario, Luigi, Zelda, Donkey Kong, or other big-name company characters. With the revolutionary Wii console, however, Nintendo instead chose to showcase the movement-based action of the system by packaging the console with Wii Sports. The game consists of five sports that players can try out:
Baseball: Quite fun, and the difficulty level goes up as you improve, making for engaging hours of gameplay.
Bowling: Much like the real sport, Wii bowling can be parts incredibly fulfilling and incredibly maddening, as one millimeter of wrist turn will register with the system and change your roll.
Tennis: Not being a big tennis fan, I play this game the least, but my brother has had hours of fun with it.
Golf: Once you learn the mechanics of the swing mechanism, this could become the most addictive part of the game for you, as (like real golf) it looks so simple until you try it!
Boxing: This one really gets you moving, as you duck, dodge, jab, and strike at your virtual opponent with the Wii controller and Wii nunchuck.
There is also a Wii Fitness Test mode that, while not at all indicative of your physical fitness level as it claims to be, does give you a good indication of how you stack up to your friends.
Overall, Wii Sports is a fun, engaging little game that will bring out the competitive juices in all gamers, whether you are a young child or senior citizen.

This game was awesome! It was so easy to play and I played it since I was just 3 years old! It deserves a 10/10 because it change the game industry, and made gaming easy even you never played anything before! It sold 102 million units.
When Wii Sports first came out as a pack-in game with the original Wii console during the launch in 2006, it became a game changer during its generation where it competed with the ps3 , which was released around the same time and became the best selling blu ray player of all time until the ps4 came out, and the xbox 360, the second video game console to use an online premium network used by its previous generation (ps3 was second along with psp/vita and ps4), which at the time was the hottest console a year after it came out. Over the years, Wii Sports became one of the top selling video games of all time and its appeal to all ages shows. In terms of challenging games, I say golf, tennis, boxing, and baseball are tough, while bowling is easy to beat since you don't compete against the CPU but yourself in single player. Graphics are cartoony but simple, and the game never crashes!!!
To this day Wii sports is still fun to play. I remember playing it back in like 2007 and to this day it is still fun. Hate how it became a meme never understood that.
