#WII SPORTS RESORT BOWLING 100 SERIES#

Finally there’s Showdown, a kind of on-rails slash ’em up that sees your Mii taking on a series of enemies in a traditional level structure. The first pits you against another player as you attempt to slice objects apart with slashes in the direction as indicated by on-screen arrows. Mindless waggling doesn’t produce great results, but as long as you play properly, stood up and with proper gestures (as if you were actually holding a sword), the game recognises your actions superbly and there’s a lot of fun to be had.ĭo well in Duel mode and two additional sword mini-games will be unlocked. Your motions are tracked incredibly well, allowing you to slash from all angles, and block incoming attacks while holding down the B trigger. Initially all that’s available here is Duel mode, in which you fight an opponent (computer or fellow human via split-screen) using a wooden sword.

First up is Swordplay, which is pretty self explanatory and one of the games that most obviously makes use of Wii MotionPlus. After you’ve parachuted down, it’s time to get stuck into the 12 games on offer, with only Golf and Bowling returning from the original selection of five. The game begins with a brief skydive onto the Wii Sports Resort island, during which you’re moving your Mii as he or she plummets to the ground. So why should those people care about MotionPlus standard bearer Wii Sports Resort? Are their party nights going to be any better with the addition of Nintendo’s next big thing? For many people the Wii is Wii Sports, so much so that other games might as well not exist.

Wii Sports is the very definition of a party game, with the Wii taken out of the cupboard on special occasions just so the entire family of non-gamers can pretend to play tennis, golf, boxing, bowling and baseball. Making the follow-up to the game that convinced millions to buy a Wii can’t have been easy for Nintendo.
