Not worth it unless you NEED another controller

This game is fun for about 1 hour. By then you've played all the games 3 times. Tank, pool, and Hockey are the only games with any replay value. The pool controls are very annoying.
For me it was worth it, because I needed another controller. I'm just glad I had that excuse, because this title is not worth the price without it.

Disappointed

I looked so forward to it coming in the mail, and when I got it, I don't know I expected more, and better. The ping pong was very disappointing and I guess the tank game is OK. I have gotten the gold medals in most of the games in a day or two of playing. Overall, I was totally letdown.

Game = $10 | Wiimote = $39.99 | Wii Play = $49.99... Why did I expect so much from the game?

At first glance, the Wii Play seems extremely appealing as you get a Wii remote AND a game consisting 9 mini games. However, to my disappoint and to many others, the games are just not worth it. I'd sell back my Wii Play with the remote to just get back my money but it's too much of a hassle.

If you want the Wii remote don't buy this. You'll just waste $10 that you can save to buy a good game rather than the 9 mini game junk.

Not impressed with this game

The game is good for little kids. I like the Wii in general it is good exercise on those days you can't get out. The best thing about this game is the remote. If you have young children this would be good for them.

buy it only if you need the remote

All the mini-games suck. You will never play it the second time.

Basically paying $10 more for a wii remote

If you really need a wii remote and can't find one then this is the game to buy. Overall this game is horrendous and shouldn't even have been released. I was hoping this would be similiar to Wii Sports but it makes Wii Sports look like the greatest game ever made. Save your $50 and wait for a $40 wiimote, people will be giving away this game free soon.

Purchase only for the remote

The game ends up feeling like a bunch of free Flash games. Luckily, I bought it for the remote, not the game, so the extra $10 was no big deal. Wii Sports (which is bundled with the Wii) is a lot more fun than this.

Wii Remote + Shareware Quality Game = Overpiced Wii Remote

I highly advise against buying this. Allow me to expalin...

Let's lay out the facts: A Wii Remote Controller on its own is $39.99. This Wii Remote + Wii Play game is $49.99. In essence, you are paying $39.99 for the Wii Remote and the remaining $10 for the game packed in.

Since you could just buy the remote separately what you really need to know is: "If I want another Wii Remote, should I pay an extra $10 for the Wii Play game?"

The answer is NO.

The Wii Play game is a collection of mini games in the vein of Wii Sports. The catch is that this time the games have far, far less appeal.

While we have logged countless hours on truly fun games like Wii Sports, Rayman Raving Rabbids, and Mario Party 8, it took my wife and I only about 20 minutes to play through the entire Wii Play collection and not a single mini-game left us wanting to play it again. In fact, each game on Wii Play reminded me of cheesy freeware games you can download or play online at "cure for boredom" sites.

If, after reading this, you are still just dying to try it, I say: Borrow it from a friend. No friends have it? Ask yourself why. Then, if you STILL want to play it, go rent it. Spend $5 on a rental and discover for yourself that Wii Play has no "Rii" Play value.

At least I got a Wii Remote with this product...

Wii play is a set of nine mini games with a Wii Remote.

This set of nine games to me, seemed like all the games that didn't make Wii Sports and they shoved it on a CD and packaged it with a Wii Remote as a consolation prize for buying this game.

Most of the mini games in Wii Play are not fun, at least for me. I'm a college student. I think Wii play may be amusing for children under the ages of 13. I think this game could be fun at drinking parties for older people.

For me, the only good thing that came out of this was that I got a Wii Remote and I only paid 10 extra dollars for the nine mini games since the remote retails for $40 anyways.

Don't Bother

Go get a controller and save your $10 dollars for something that will provide more than 10 minutes of enjoyment. The games are simplistic and repetitive and, for $10 dollars, you can go buy a used GameCube game to play on the Wii.
