What the heck? It’s August and I’m freezing!!
I twitter’d faster
Rough morning. It’s raining and miserable, and I walked to the bus stop with a funeral procession. Happy Thursday!
Not the best day I’ve ever had. But let’s look on the bright side, it’s not the worst, either.
Hey all. This is my 10 minute Review of Wii Sports Resort. No it won’t take you 10 minutes to read (unless you are a sloowwwww reader, though I’m not judging), it means I am reviewing the game after playing it for a mere 10 minutes.
Sooo, here we go, got the game, first thing I do- get that WiiMotion Plus OUT of the wii condom. Seriously, I am not five, I don’t need to protect my Wiimote in case it goes flying out of my hand. (This coming from the guy who almost destroyed his Wii a few years ago by launching the Remote across the room during a wild game of bowling)
Start up the game, after calibrating the Wiimote we launch ourselves onto the island of Whatever-Its-Called through a pretty neat skydiving section. But wait, they randomly chose Noah’s mii to do the honors. WTF, I want to jump out of the plane! Whatever, I’m over it!
This skydiving section is basically a “tutorial” of sorts, showing you how much control you have over the Mii. Every slight twist and turn was represented on the screen. Cool.
So what was my next goal? Try to break the game of course! I turned the Wiimote in my hands in ways I thought unusual, trying to trick the poor WM+, but it didn’t seem to phase it. Finally, I started throwing the spinning the Wiimore like it was uncooked pizza dough. Surprisingly, it did a good job of keeping up with what I was doing, though I could almost hear the Wiimote saying “Ok asshole, can we stop this now”?
After the skydiving, we get to the standard Wii SPorts menu, so I decided the first game to try would be, naturally, Sword Fighting! Which I thought worked great! The little Mii Bitch didn’t stand a chance against me w/ my skills! I knocked him down pretty quickly, racked up +100 skill points, and unlocked Speed Slice or whatever.
Next up, I went to the options. There’s a feature I hadn’t heard about- the ability to import random popular Miis from the Check Mii Out channel to use as opponents and spectators. Umm, sorry, but this is really cool. Why hasn’t it been reported before? Or maybe I’m reading the wrong articles. Or maybe everyone deleted Check Mii Out from their Wii’s a long time ago?? Meh.
Next up, Table Tennis. The controls felt awesome, and I was able to apply what I assume is adequate spin control to my shots, and yes, forehand and backhand does matter in this, since it’s basically close to 1:1. I beat the dumb ass pathetic Mii 6-1. He’s probably crying. I also unlocked something, I duno what. Oh yea, and this game has stamps, which are basically acheivements! A lot of reviewers were shrugging it off, since you can’t share your accomplishments, but for me Acheivements aren’t about gamerscore, it’s about unlocking stuff, and being a completionist whore, so I’m digging the stamps.
Next, I decided I wanted to try- oh wait, that’s def. 10 minutes by now.
Exciting!
Anyway, I rate the first 10 minutes of Wii Sport Resort a 9/10, MOSTLY FOR THE FACT THAT IN THOSE 10 MINUTES I WAS ABLE TO TRY A VARIETY OF EXCELLENT GAMEPLAY OPTIONS, AND ALSO EXPERIENCE A TRUE SENSE OF ACCOMPLISHMENT BY WINNING, SOMETHING THAT USUALLY DOESN’T HAPPEN IN THE FIRST 10 MINUTES OF A GAME
Goodnighttttt
