Games: Wii Golf

There are already 3 golf games for the Nintendo Wii. I played the Wii sports version the other night with my brother in law Erik. Erik is a great golfer but Wii golf was not his bag. At least not on the first play of the game. He’ll be picking that up much quicker now and he knows real golf terms and strategies and techniques so on the next time we meet on the green he’ll be whooping all of our butts.

Is there a reason that there are already 3 golf games for the Wii? Do we really need 3 of them? It just seems to me that it wouldn’t be that fun playing different golfing games. They are different in that the characters you play are different. Wii Golf is for a fun party atmosphere. Super Swing is a fun looking game with many interesting characters and the serious golfer is going to want Tiger Woods 2007. So I guess there is something for everyone.

WarioWare: Smooth Moves

WarioWare: Smooth Moves is a bizarre little game full of tons of mini games that make use of special “forms” with the Wiimote. In WarioWare: Smooth Moves the Wiimote is called a form baton. Each time a new form is presented it is done with a sepia toned page that has a soothing voice that give explains the form. Then you play a frenetic cluster of games until you reach the Boss Stage. The games include swatting flies, cutting barrels with a sword and making a little guy run. The game is very fun and you will be laughing away at your friends and family as they do strange forms like the elephant. Check out WarioWare: Smooth Moves. The one thing I don’t like it that it is a single player game until you go through a bunch of games, and then you can play multiplayer games.
