I could probably be satisfied playing these games the rest of my life.

Here’s the thing. These games aren’t complicated. Tennis. Swing. Baseball. Swing. Bowling. Button, swing.

It’s just nice to be able to play a couple quick games that are challenging, but don’t require a lot of thought.

Lately, Tennis is my weapon of choice. I started hooked on bowling, but slowly became addicted to Tennis. I think it’s because you can get through the games faster. So, I might have 15 minutes until work, get a quick best of 5 round in.

Bowling is still really cool. Once you figure it out, you can bowl fairly well. Unfortunately my best game was when we were playing with a group of people and I was playing as Joe Mann’s stupid character. Oh well, I know the truth.

Baseball is ok. You can totally cheat swinging by just snapping your wrist. Overall, I think I would rather just play home run derby.

Boxing, not so much. It seemed like a good idea, but the controls are horrifically non-responsive. You basically swing yourself tired and win if the comp lets you.

Golf. I like it. It definitely takes some getting used to, especially if you’ve played much Tiger Woods. I think once I got the hang of it, it wasn’t too bad. I haven’t played it in forever, though, so who really knows.

For the most part, the bonus “training” games you can play are really cool. As stated, home run derby is good. The golf challenges are fun and the bowling training is really fun, perhaps more fun than the actual game.

Wii Sports. It comes with the Wii and might be the only game you ever need.
