MY THOUGHTS:

I really like the Wii titled games like “Wii Party” and “Wii Sports” so I knew “Wii Play Motion” would also be fun.  First off “Wii Play Motion” is a great value as it comes with a black Wii Motion controller as well as the game!  There are 12 games to choose from and then within each game are additional levels you can unlock.  When you first play the game though there are only five games available that you have to play to unlock the other games, so it is a fun little challenge.  After completing each game it will display your time or points, then ranking and if you earned a medal.

Games Available:

• Cone Zone
• Veggie Guardin’
• Skip Skimmer
• Trigger Twist
• Pose Mii Plus
• Jump Park
• Teeter Targets
• Spooky Search
• Wind Runner
• Treasure Twirl
• Flutter Fly
• Star Shuttle

While all the games use similar motions and movements that you are probably already used to and familiar with, the games are still fun and different.  My sons love watching me play it, especially Cone Zone because its ice cream!  I also never realized how sensitive and different the Wii Motion controller is, different in a good way!  Each game is bright, colorful and while they are simple, it is a challenge to unlock new levels and achieve better rankings.  My husband and I like to compete on the challenges.  You can also play this game with up to four players but it does require the Wii MotionPlus controllers.  This is a great game for family time, friendly competition or just to unwind.

BUY IT: Look for “Wii Play Motion with Black Wii Remote Plus” wherever video games are sold or check it out online.
