We had a couple of days to play Wii Sports and we documented a few things, but we haven't had the time to write up a review yet (it's coming soon, be patient). As such, we felt it best to check out what other critics are thinking before tossing in our two cents. Scores have overall been positive, but maybe not as high as Nintendo fans would've liked.
- Gamespy - 80%: "Wii Sports is at its best in a group setting, where the familiarity that everyone has with these games makes them incredibly easy to pick up and play. It's a game you can play with your friends and family, and it perfectly highlights the direction that Nintendo is taking with the platform. It's not the best-looking game on the system, and it's definitely not the deepest, but it may well be the most fun. You're not forking over any money for Wii Sports, so consider it the best money you won't spend this year."
- IGN - 75%: "What you're going to find in Wii Sports is a title that demonstrates the potential of the Wii remote, but comes up short in depth and visuals. Play it for an hour with friends and you'll love it. Your non-gamer friends will be dazzled by the immediately intuitive controls and the imported Miis. But the title sacrifices incredible depth and visuals for an immediately accessible experience."
- Gamerz-Edge - 85%: "Wii Sports truly is a great pack-in title. It's obviously not anywhere on the level of past pack-in titles like Super Mario Bros. or Super Mario World, but it's a fitting introduction to an all-new breed of gaming control nonetheless, and it can be enjoyed by nearly anyone. This is the kind of game to which your entire family could end up addicted."
