Like the guy who's played the Wii already they don't like the boxing game.
"yet we are completely unimpressed - bored, even -- with the game's boxing mode"
They seem to be of the opinion that is Nintendo's way of winning over the purchasers family. An hour at a time of quick simple multiplayer fun.
"Even the great Wii Sports games have a limited life span. You will play and love these games for an hour at a time, and you'll find that they are better with friends and family. The novelty of hitting a baseball with a swing of the Wii remote cannot be ignored, but none of our editors wanted to bat it out for an entire nine innings - and for good reason: beyond hitting and pitching, there's nothing to do."
"Closing Comments
Wii Sports is a successful showpiece for Nintendo's new hardware and a fantastic means to get non-gamers talking about Wii. Not all of the games are spectacular. Given the choice, I'd prefer not to play either boxing or golf, which is disappointing because both sports seem like a fine fit for the remote. But the games that do work really work. Baseball is good in short bursts. Tennis is a lot of fun, especially with two or more. And bowling is fantastic – I can't wait for Nintendo to use these mechanics and release the inevitable (and much deeper) Mario Bowling.
What you're going to find in Wii Sports is a title that demonstrates the potential of the Wii remote, but comes up short in depth and visuals. Play it for an hour with friends and you'll love it. Your non-gamer friends will be dazzled by the immediately intuitive controls and the imported Miis. But the title sacrifices incredible depth and visuals for an immediately accessible experience."
