I think you may have given up too quick on sword play. From every other outlet I’ve read the word has been that it works really well. Did you have any uv lights behind you, (candle, sun light, mirror, burning high school diploma) because if you did then the Wiimote+ would have gotten confused thinking it was pointing at the sensor bar when in reality it was pointing 180 degrees in the other direction?
You might want to try it after sundown to be sure it’s as bad as you think. Maybe it really is broken. Oh and pushing down arrow on the d-pad re-calibrates it for you.
cheers
It is lame that they only include one motion-plus unit with this game. They should include two. $20 for a 2nd motion-plus is too much. I don’t mind all of the peripherals that Nintendo puts out because at least they are trying to give us new gameplay options to choose from, that is good. Couldn’t they at least put two of them in the game? Nintendo….? Later.
No matter what the scores are, Wii Sports Resort will sell. But Nintendo better hurry up and make the next Wii Sports. They better not wait almost 3 years between releases because Resort may not be around that long, but it WILL sell.
I absolutely love that every single review of this game chooses a different combination of sports to label good or bad. To me that shows that there’s something intrinsic about good motion controls that mean some people are never going to get used to them, or at least find them intuitive, in some contexts. Some people are the kind of people that take to motion controlled sword fighting, some aren’t. Some people find wakeboarding exhilarating, others find it dull.
At the very least it seems like there’s at least three or four sports in resorts that every single reviewer loves, they’re just different from reviewer to reviewer.
Wow, 4.5 stars out of 5 and I’ll I was basically reading was how bad the game. I’m a bit confused. Considering you only liked, what, 4 of the 10 games, you should have given it a four out of 10.
Until I play it, can’t agree or disagree with you, but that’s a really kind rating for reading very little positives.
hmm gotta disagree with what u said about sword play, personally I thought it worked realy really well. especially the object slicing game it was spot on. give it another try
I heard that sword play had a calibration that you can use during the gameplay. Supposed to make it really responsive.
…no wifi??? with wii-speak???… ….maybe for Wii Sports 3?
I really liked “you-know-who.” Seriously, no joke. There was a learning curve to it, but once you wrap your head around the controls it’s pretty fun.

@DOCR. Couldn’t agree more. That’s what makes Wii so universal.
