I am updating my earlier review. Have had this item for several weeks. I am going to return it to Walmart if I can. It makes the Wii process more cumbersome. Sometimes you need to remove the remote when selecting your game. Everyone's play has deteriorated with the tennis racquet. The baseball bat is a negative in game play, due to the need to remove the remote to pitch properly. You can pitch with the bat, but how realistic is that? However, the bat is fine to use for the training games. Children (and adults), will probably enjoy using it for the training games, but not for the actual games. The golf club is still a positive. For anyone enjoying a Wii golf game, the game may be worth buying for the club. But for me, $35 for a nerf club is just too expensive. I will leave my rating at 3 stars. The quality is decent, and it does have some positive features. Most Wii accessories appear overpriced. This is no more overpriced than other accessories. It just isn't a value purchase for me.
The paragraphs below are my original rating.

Retiree here. My wife likes this product. My take. My overall scores go down, though it is a little more fun. By item: 1. Baseball-Holding the bat is nice, but when playing the game, you must also pitch with the bat, or keep removing/then installing the wimote every half inning. Rate this a C. Golf. Golf is more enjoyable with this product. Rate this an A. Tennis. Tennis is enjoyable, but my scores went down. I guess with practice, they should go back up. Rate this a B-.

Only golf club. baseball bat, tennis raquet included (attachment for wimote). There is no steering wheel. Note that the picture does not include a steering wheel, though the description says it does. The product is made by Performance Design Produts, and the Nerf name is licensed by Hasbro. Apparently some look alike products. The quality on mine is okay.
Value: Pricey for what you get. It does work. I thought this would be good for my grandson playing Wii baseball. However, the need to pitch with the bat tempers the fun. Price paid: $34.95 at Walmart. Many in stock. Best Buy $36.95. Amazon does not sell these direct, only through partners. EBAY prices with shipping are ridiculous.

Thus far, my husband and I have really enjoyed the nerf pack. First, we felt it would be much better for when we have children over to the house. It is still going to hurt to get hit by one of those controllers if that accidently happens, however, quite a bit less than the hard plastic models.
Someone mentioned that their play and scores have went down, especially for tennis. My advice..realize what you are buying! You are now working with a longer lever arm requiring more force from your upper arm and body muscles to generate the same movement you were doing before placing on the attachments.

5.0 out of 5 stars Strongly Recommend For Wii Sports, July 16, 2008

After first playing Wii sports, I very much enjoyed the game but often found it a bit awkward doing sporting motions (like swinging) with such a small controller. One day, my brother brought home this Nerf Sports Pack and it truly revitalized my interest in the Wii Sports games. Here are the games that this pack can be used for:

Tennis: Honestly, the tennis racket probably matters the least in terms of actual gameplay (as swinging the Wii-mote isn't much different), but it still gives a better feel for the game.

Baseball: Instead of feeling as if you are swinging all from the wrists, the foam bat (despite being quite light) is firm enough to simulate an actual swing. Try swinging a Little League bat versus a full-size bat and you will see what I mean.

Golf: Because the position and tilt of your hands are so important to your golf swing, this club extension gives you a "base" from which to simulate the real deal.

Overall, this Nerf set revitalized my interest in the Wii Sports game and I highly recommend it for anyone playing the game on a consistent basis.
