The standalone game is good, however it is lacking in a few aspects.I played all the mini games through to collect the gold medals, but in reality the only 2 I kept coming back to were the 9-ball game and the Tank Game. The life of this game is only extended when playing with another person for a short while before it gets a bit boring. To me, this game seemed more like a tech demo than an actually game. I recommend getting it, but not the standalone version. Get the version with a wii-mote because then it'd be like picking this up for about $10.

This is basically a series of exercises to practice using the Wii remote. If you've played another game, then you don't need this one.
I could see spending a few plays on a couple of the mini-games here, like the billiards or tanks games, but no more. I bought the Wii Play
version bundled with a Wii remote. That way it was just a few dollars more than just buying a remote. I don't see any reason to buy this
otherwise. Of course, other opinions may vary.

This set of games was just perfect for our 4 and 5 year olds who are just getting used to working with the remote and playing games on the Wii. No jarring graphics or overly disturbing scenes. These are all plain simple games that everyone would enjoy. The graphics are not the best as one would expect from today's technology, but that's a minor issue. We are loving this game!

They play it often all but the pool. Matching, shooting and tank game are my four year old son's favorite. He can play completely on his own, but usually his sister joins him. My 6 year old daughter likes it a little less than my son, but any time she has friends sleep over she and her friends usually put this in and have a blast. Even my one year old started playing now the shooting and cow racing game. My husband and I both enjoy it, also.

+ still one of the most played here after one year
+ not much reading, so young kids can play unassisted
+ the entire family can play
- 2 at a time
- only one game that's a bit physical (the cow race-> jumping, though could just move remote up and down quickly)

Basically, this game is a more polished version of various Wii demos.

The games are somewhat fun---though they will probably be more fun for kids than for adults. But, the games themselves aren't exactly classics, just little things to pass the time.

As party games---in 2 player modes---the games are a bit more fun, but Wii Play isn't a superb party game.

If you need an extra controller, the Wii Play with Remote is a good buy. If you want to add a new game for you Wii, this won't be incredibly entertaining, though it will be cute.

The ping pong game is very addicting!
The cow racing game and shooting game are great when 2 people are playing.
Too bad this game doesn't have a 4 player mode.

This is a fun game to have for 2 reasons: The spot me and the throwback to Duck Hunt. You don't actually shoot ducks anymore (that wouldn't be PC) but you do get to shoot cans, spaceships, and clay pigeons. The Spot me game is fun and incorporates your Miis into the mix. I've played with 2 players. I'm not sure if you can support a 4 player game with it but I'm sure it would be fun if you could.

Bought this as a replacement since somehow I wore out the original that came with my Wii console. I did play it a lot, but had no idea I could wear it out.
Even after doing all the trouble shooting tips, it was the only CD that would not work, so I had to replace it. Love the games.

This game has ping pong, a look-alike game, a fishing game and more. not the best wii game, but pretty fun.

This is what the Wii is all about. Its not about the graphics. It is back 2 basics. Its a matter of making games fun again. It makes you want to play again and again.
