Wii Sports Resort
Evolution Of The Freebie
Wii Sports Resort

About two and a half years ago, gaming changed, signalling an end to the days where sitting in your 'Laz-E-Boy' chair, eating Wotsits and sipping milkshakes were the norm. All of a sudden we had to get up, move around and actually work physically to prove our electronic expertise. To begin with it was a strange and almost uncomfortable feeling. But then we got used to it, it became fun and we began sharing our gaming experiences with our friends and loved ones. Even our Grans! That's correct; it was at that time that the Wii entered our lives, along with the revolutionary Wii Sports. Many of us are still slogging it out on the best freebie you will ever receive, with the belief that we will beat that bowling score; One day.

For those of you who have been there, done that and have the pulled muscles to prove it, the time has come for new challenges. Let us introduce you to Wii Sports Resort. Now, the main question on all of our lips is, how are Nintendo going to better the original? What can they do to make it different? Well, let us start at the beginning.

Miis just can't seem to make up their mind whether they have limbs or not. What gives?

Only two sports remain from the original Wii Sports; golf and, to all our delight, bowling. Ah, the Wii nights have been rejuvenated! Bowling follows the same basic rules but it has been polished up somewhat. For starters it looks different, with a new arena and some jazzy shirts. The main difference however is the introduction of Motion Plus. Thought you could spin the ball really well in the last game? Well, try it on this baby.

With a flick of the wrist you can add immense amounts of spin, way more than ever before. Sometimes it can even be too much, in all honesty. It will take time to get used to the new controls for determining power, direction, etc. There is no better example of this than with Golf. It is as if you're playing a completely new game in terms of controls. There's no room for wild swings any more, as the ball will go in completely the wrong direction. Only dead straight shots will make it go forwards, and if there is any veering to either side, the ball will follow it. The power bar is still available, but it now judges how straight your shot is.

Awwwww, who's a cute wittle doggy?
