7.0 Presentation
A solid compilation of sports games, great use of Mii characters, and slick interfaces that make navigating with the Wii remote easy.

4.0 Graphics
We realize it's a style choice, but the visuals powering Wii Sports are both generic and so simple that they're archaic. The Mii characters add color. It runs in 16:9 and pro-scan at 60 frames.

7.0 Sound
Charming background music and good sound effects drive home the crashing strikes in bowling and the smashing home runs in baseball.

8.0 Gameplay
Fun. Best as a multiplayer affair and in short bursts. Bowling is amazing. Baseball and tennis are good. And the others need work. All the modes lack depth.

7.0 Lasting Appeal
Despite being a shallow affair, the simple controls work well with the games and nurture return multiplayer bouts.

7.5
Good OVERALL
(out of 10 / not an average)
