Ars reviews Wii Sports Resort
There are so many times during the course of gameplay where you’ll wish an event or challenge were stretched into an entire game with a story, characters, or even online play. As it stands, you’ll play something, be amazed at the clever controls, be disappointed that the overall experience is so thin, and then come back and continue playing to show your friends or fight for a higher score.
Sounds a lot like Wii Sports. It’s a continuation of the same benefits and problems that nearly every good Wii game has exhibited: fun, casual, newbie-friendly play that’s fun to show your friends and family for a little while but that’s ultimately hindered by shallow gameplay, low replay value, and absence of a motivating single-player experience.
I feel like more games across all platforms are concentrating on Multiplayer at the expense of the singleplayer experience. It makes finding a game like Uncharted all the cooler; it’s a single player experience first. The Wii is obviously the worst offender here, but it’s by no means confined to the developers and publishers for that platform.
