Five simple sports, tennis, bowling, baseball, golf and boxing, played by swinging the Wii Remote like the real thing. It came bundled with the Wii and got grandparents, kids and non-gamers playing together. It's one of the best-selling games of all time.
Kit's verdict · 8.0/10
A shallow but genius tech demo that changed who plays games, with bowling still a party staple.Kit · Sadkitty Games
Loved
- Anyone can pick it up instantly
- Bowling is genuinely great
- Perfect for groups
Not so much
- Very little depth
- Baseball and boxing are thin and imprecise
Play it if families and party groups who want instant fun.
Skip it if anyone wanting a real sports sim with depth.

Tips
Play it better
- In bowling, twist your wrist as you release to put spin on the ball and curve it into the pocket.
- Use the D-pad in bowling to shift your starting position before you throw.
- In tennis, timing matters more than force; swing early to angle the ball cross-court.
- In golf, a slow, smooth swing beats a hard one; watch the power meter rather than flailing.
- Wear the wrist strap; it exists because people really did fling Wii Remotes into TVs.
