The fuuun has arrriiiiiiived! Thank you very much! Anyway, I recently got Mario Party 8 and Wii Play. The plan was to try to get Mario Party 8 and Wii Play off eBay with my sister’s birthday money, since Wii Play would come with an extra Wii Remote for MP8, and sounded pretty cool itself. The designated dates were October 3rd (for Wii Play) and October 8th (for Mario Party). Erratically, Mario Party ended up coming on Octobrt 3rd, much to our disdain, and we wouldn’t see Wii Play until about a week later. My sister, Emma, claimed Mario Party, and therefore, instead of being able to play a nice game by myself, I had to constantly let Emma play between turns. While Emma was playing her turns, I got into other things, and then instead let her play the whole game. When Wii Play came, the first thing I was excited about was playing Mario Party 8 without having to take turns with Emma, but I also thought that since we had Wii Play, we might as well play it.
And that was when the fun begun.
I will give individual ratings for the different games. These ratings do not count toward an average.
Me and my sister started a two-player game. Since, it turns out, when first starting, you have to play the games in order, we started with the shooting game.
Shooting Range: In this game, you use the Wii Remote to shoot various things. On level one, you have to shoot balloons that come up from the grass. On level 2, you have to shoot many targets. Golden targets are worth five points, while if you hit a target with the picture of your Mii, you lose a few, but if you shoot the target with the picture of the opposing player’s Mii, you get 3 points. On level 3, you have to shoot plates that fly off into the distance, and on level 4, you have to shoot cans and try to keep them from falling into the grass until you shoot them five times. And on the final level…I wouldn’t want to spoil it for you! Ducks will also randomly appear, and if you shoot them, you can get a lot of points! Anyway, it’s really fun, and is my favorite.
Rating: Pure Greatness
Find Mii: In this game, you have to perform certain tasks revolving around touching the correct Miis to get points. For instance, the game will tell you to “Find however many look-alikes!” or “Find however many odd Miis out!” It’s kind of hard, but really fun.
Rating: Awesome
Table Tennis: This game, as you can well imagine, is a rousing game of table tennis. First to 11 points wins. Just deflect the ball back and if the ball gets outside the opposing player’s section, you get a point. Not as good as some of the others, but still pretty good.
Rating: Pretty Good
Pose Mii: This game is my second favorite. You have to strike the correct poses and twist the Wii Remote to center yourself in the bubbles with the outline of that pose. I can’t go into much depth on this, but it’s super fun.
Rating: Pure Greatness
Laser Hockey: This game is a laser version of air hockey. You can twist the Wii Remote to turn the thing you use to hit the ball with. Even though it’s CALLED laser hockey…it reminds me more of Pong (even though I have never played that, due to my young age). Either way, it’s pretty fun.
Rating: Awesome
Fishing: More like cartoon fishing. The fish are all hand-drawn. Still, it’s fun. You have to wait until you get a good bite to pull your Wii Remote up. There’s also a random bonus fish. A warning: try not to catch the “Small Fry,” or you’ll lose 50 points!
Rating: Awesome
Billiards: If you know the rules of pool, then you know the rules of this game. Anyway, this is my least favorite, but it’s still OK.
Rating: Pretty Good
Charge!: Easily my third favorite. You ride a stuffed cow (you heard me; a stuffed cow) and have to charge into as many scarecrows as you can before time runs out or you reach the finish line. For this game, you’ll be holding the Wii Remote sideways. To accelerate, tilt the Wii Remote forward. To decelerate, tilt it backward. Quickly raise it up to jump over obstacles. You can tilt the control stick left and right to move. Overall, it’s great fun.
Rating: Pure Greatness
Tanks: Another really good one. You use the D-Pad or Nunchuk to move your tank around, and attempt to destroy other tanks. The B Button shoots missiles. But be warned; one hit destroys your own tank!
Rating: Awesome
Well, that was a nice overview of all nine games. I won’t go into detail on any other categories since the game doesn’t put much emphasis on them.
Sadly, I have figured out that Wii Play got a less-than-flattering reception. So, it’s up to you and me to give this game the appreciation it deserves! Be sure to pick this game up, especially if you have a brother or sister! This game is fun for the whole family!
Overall: Awesome! Lots of fun for everyone!
