No scenario to detail with Wii Sports Resort, nor even a legend to remember. We enter directly into the heart of the matter, and it is a force which already characterized the original Wii Sports. The interface perfectly combines sobriety and efficiency, which makes it possible not to get lost in multiple menus. Even aware of its ultra simplicity, Wii Sports Resort strives to provide clear explanations for each event. An aspect that neophytes will necessarily appreciate, while experienced players will take a look at it only with a view to slamming big scores. The content of Wii Sports Resort is naturally the first point on which we dwell before chaining the parties, and we notice quite quickly that bowling and golf are like survivors of the first opus. For the rest, we are entitled to new disciplines among which we can count frisbee, table tennis, archery, cycling, basketball or even jet-skiing to name a few. . With the few variants integrated here and there, you can easily go from a dozen basic events to around twenty, a completely different dimension compared to the first part of the series. As often in such cases, certain sporting practices catch the eye and are regularly called upon to liven up a struggling afternoon or late evening, while the other events will remain wisely stored at the bottom of a drawer. Golf is without doubt the discipline that takes best advantage of the characteristics of the Wii MotionPlus, with management of the amplitude and the strength of the movement that is really impressive. Accuracy is very important, whereas this was not necessarily the case in Wii Sports where motion recognition faltered at times. Mention also goes to basketball, which requires a certain sense of timing for solo three-point shots, and a perfect understanding between the players in multiplayer games - 3 vs. 3. Even if we don't completely manage the movement of players, passes, dribbles and shots are executed with disconcerting ease.

Bowling, on the other hand, is always a safe bet when it comes to teaching his girlfriend who feels like she's growing wings, while archery is just as addictive. Again, the effectiveness of the Wii MotionPlus is undeniable. On the other hand, on the side of disappointments, we find in the first place the jet-ski whose fans of the Wave Race series expected a lot. We didn't expect to be dealing with a real simulation of the genre either, but the handling is far from immediate. The Wiimote and Nunchuk must be held in each hand, like holding a steering wheel in any racing game. Turning to the right or to the left will allow you to direct your machine, while you will have to rotate the Wiimote to accelerate. By pressing B with each flick of the wrist, you can even benefit from an always useful boost. In fact, we find here the same concerns as with the Wii Wheel which does not offer optimal piloting comfort, due to the absence of a fixed axis with which it would have been much easier to get our bearings. . Finally, cycling and canoeing seemed a bit at the end of our rope, the Wii MotionPlus failing to mask the system's failures when, among other things, we started alternating right and left paddle strokes. . Frustrating. In terms of achievement, Wii Sports Resort remains in the same line as its predecessor and displays Miis with a randouillarde and basic silhouette. We should therefore not expect a modeling of the little men in high definition, especially since the technological weakness of the Wii compared to competing consoles paradoxically gives the game cachet. Wii Sports Resort insists on this very academic aspect of the island to make herself very cute in the public eye. Same observation with regard to the musical atmosphere which, if not memorable, does not annoy after two notes. Proposed at the price of 49,99 €, Wii Sports Resort is offered with a Wii MotionPlus, which prevents the pliers from crying scam. However, it seems necessary to have several magic boxes at home to fully enjoy the game. This could unfortunately be considered an obstacle in the eyes of some; even if the contribution of the Wii MotionPlus sounds obvious in Wii Sports Resort.
