 complete waste !! May 1, 2010
S. Shah (Sunnyvale, ca)
That was a bad buy! Awful controls..
I bought it online because it had volleyball, cricket, soccer.. looked interesting on paper but when I started playing it was just awful!! Controls where out of sync. All the games looked like they are already programmed to play, you dont even need to swing remote to play them. Its like watching an animated movie with remote in hand.. Don't waste money on this!!
 Major disappointment, even at a discount April 22, 2010

I picked up this game because my wife wanted a Bocce game for the Wii. I picked this one, because it had a couple of other games that I thought I'd like. However, I was disappointed.
The Bocce game is probably the highlight of the game, play-wise. You can move your person side-to-side, and change angle (as you can in Wii Sports Resort's bowling), and vary your throw based on how hard you swing the Wiimote. Of all the games, this one seems to be the most refined towards it's subject matter.
Frisbee Golf isn't terrible. You have a bit of control over the Frisbee based on how hard you throw, and what direction you're facing in with regards to the wind. Once you get near the 'hole', it's almost impossible to miss, as the target extends upwards (meaning you can't throw it over the hole accidentally).
Gameplay for Cricket is fairly simplistic, similar to Baseball on Wii Sports. With only two types of generic swings, batting is a matter of timing and force. Actually, pitching is the same, but with even less ability to customize. Ball catching and throwing is largely automatic.
Soccer and Football are largely wastes of time, where the player is merely along for the ride. Soccer offers the ability to pass to the near player, pass to the furthest player, sorta shoot, and slide tackle. You can change which player you control, but there's not really any movement control. Football is similar: Your main input is the timing and strength of the pass, and making the receiver jump to catch it.
Volleyball was the game that I, personally, was hoping would be good, and is therefore the biggest disappointment to me. The control of this game is, in a word, pathetic. The first guy to touch the ball ALWAYS digs. The second guy ALWAYS sets. The third guy (actually, the first guy again) ALWAYS spikes or shoots. There is very little control to any of these actions. The game is mostly reduced to flicking the controller and waiting.
I realize this is a title full of mini-games. However, with these games, the potentially intuitive interface of the Wii has been reduced to something with all the creativity of button-mashing.
If I see this game in a $5 bin, I might buy it again. IMHO, for any price over that, it's just not worth it.

This is was a waste, even at a discounted price. I can play any sports game and get some satisfaction out of it....well, except this one. Played it for 15 minutes and never played again.
Some games better than others March 12, 2010

Read the reviews which weren't that great, but I liked the games that were included in this. Guess I now have to agree with a lot of those reviews. The Bocce ball is fun, but the manual didn't explain all the moves you can make. Just kinda discovered those by fussing with the controls. The volleyball is just flicking the remote. Not much to that. Still haven't figured out what I'm actually doing in soccer. I win every time, but have no idea how. Obviously doesn't take any skill to play. Disc Golf was the same. Flicked the remote and it went into the basket every time. Didn't even aim, but it went in every time. Am afraid to play cricket since I already don't know how to play that, much less on the Wii.
The games included in this are:
Bocce ball, volleyball, soccer, cricket, disc golf, football

I really only bought this game for the beach volleyball. I have played a couple of the others but mostly just stick with the volleyball. It is a good game for what I paid.
