Wii PLAY
Wii
Play includes nine quick and addictive games that are easy to pick up
and play and hard to put away. Thanks to the intuitive controls of the
Wii Remote, even the most inexperienced gamers will have no trouble
mastering the controls. Every game features a multiplayer mode, so
friends can compete for the high score or go head to head to see who's
the best. Wii Play features nine separate minigames, including:
Shooting Range:
The player shoots down targets ranging from clay pigeons to ducks to
UFOs. In the final stage, the Mii a player is using appears on the
screen, wandering in a field and being abducted by UFOs. If the player
shoots that UFO down, the abductee returns to the field. To shoot
targets, the player points at them with the Wii Remote pointer and
presses the B button to fire. Players earn bonuses for not missing any
shots. Find Mii: The
player must find and select specific Miis from a crowd within a set
amount of time. If the player has any user-created Miis, they appear in
the crowd as well. The crowds grow larger and start moving as the
player clears more levels. The player selects Miis by pointing at them
with the Wii Remote and pressing the A button.
Table Tennis:
Players rally the ball back and forth, shooting for the longest
sustained rally. In the multiplayer version, players compete to score
points, as in traditional table tennis. Players use the pointer to move
the paddle. The paddle swings automatically when the ball is close. Pose Mii:
The player moves his Mii on the screen, rotating it and changing its
pose to match the silhouettes inside falling bubbles. The player must
pop the bubble by matching its pose before the bubble hits the bottom
of the screen. The Wii Remote's pointer moves the Mii, and twisting the
Wii Remote rotates the Mii on-screen. The A and B buttons change
between three different poses.
Laser Hockey:
Players move paddles on an air hockey table, trying to hit the puck
past the opponent's goal. The puck's motion is affected by the angle of
the paddle and the speed with which the puck is hit. The Wii Remote
pointer moves the paddle, while twisting the Wii Remote rotates the
paddle on the screen. Billiards:
The player must sink all nine balls in the proper order. In single
player, if a player fails to hit the correct ball or sinks his cue
ball, the player's score drops; in multiplayer, the other player can
place the ball anywhere on the screen before taking a turn. The Wii
Remote pointer marks where the cue will strike the cue ball. While the
cue is marked, moving the Wii Remote back and then swiftly forward
slides the cue into the cue ball. The +Control Pad controls where the
ball is aiming. Fishing:
Players must catch the fish indicated at the top of the screen. This
game uses the Wii Remote: The pointer moves the hand holding the
fishing pole. Moving forward places the hook farther out in the lake,
while moving back places it hook closer. When a fish bites, the player
yanks the Wii Remote back, pulling the fish out of the water. A "bonus"
fish appears in a window on the screen, and catching that fish earns
double the points.
Charge!:
The player controls a charging cow, guiding it into scarecrows and
knocking them over. Players control the cow by tilting the Wii Remote
on its side and turning it like a steering wheel. Tilting forward
speeds the cow up, and tilting back slows it down. Quickly raising the
Wii Remote make the cow jump.
Tanks!:
The player controls a tank and must shoot other tanks. The shots
rebound once off the walls before disappearing. The player controls his
tanks with the +Control Pad (Note: players can also use the Nunchuk's
control stick to steer the tank) and aim the tank's cannon using the
Wii Remote's pointer. The A button fires the tank's cannon, and the B
button drops a mine with a large blast radius. |
