Wii Sports plays as simple as it can get

Writing a hands-on preview for Wii Sports must be easy. Perhaps Cubed#@%!6
7#@%! found that out when they previewed the game. Because if you know how to play golf, bowling, baseball, or all those other sports, you already know how to play their Wii counterparts.

In fact, it’s so simple, it masks a subtle depth and complexity that you wouldn’t notice until you try the stuff you do in the real-world sport, the preview says. Take tennis, for example. You don’t have to just hit that ball back. Apply top spin, backspin, drop shots, smash shots, lobs – anything Roddick can do, the Mii can pull off. Just hope that Wiimote doesn’t fly off your hand and into the TV when you go for the smash.

All the other sports follow the same logic. Golf in fact may be the hardest game in the title. Anyone who’s played golf knows that you need to get the power “just right” to get the ball to where you want. That’s gonna be hard to pull off with the Wiimote, the preview noted. Then again, the same’s true of real-world golf, anyway. Which reminds us of a joke. You know why they call it golf, right? (Answer auto-bleeped by censors.)
