Finally found a game worth putting a lot of energy into. Awersome!
Wii Love You! No, not really.

I am a Wii owner Yatzee and I still proudly support you. In all honestly I love your reviews, I never base if I am going to buy a game off of them or anything of the sort, but I tend to find them humorous and insightful. So even knowing I will likely be suckered into Sports Resort, I salute you for giving me the heads up and am glad I have friends to play it with so I won't be the loser who is better then everyone else (Yes, Brawl reference ...)
I keep saying the same thing that Yahtzee says, that motion controls will not work until there is something to move against, whether that be having an actual racing wheel fighting your turn, or having bullets whiz by you in 3D to dodge. I'm surprised and disappointed that Nintendo hasn't moved on towards incorporating 3D into their game. At least give me a reason to flail about and attempt to dodge. Not that they would actually make a game that uses it, just more inane mini-games. Maybe Microsoft or the PS3 will surprise, but I pretty much know that it won't be Nintendo that actually furthers the game playing medium.
Great review; I was laughing my ass off before the video even started; just the idea of you having to sit down and review wii resort.
Thanks
Thanks
he gave it to them we owners e did! at first i thought he wasnt lying at the beginning wit the postitve(or at least not negative) review but at the end he was completely right with telling people to stop buying the wii because it is ONLY FOR CASUAL GAMERS and that is all it will ever be, you cant play a game intensely like an actual game when you use a motion for the control, you just cant
What really bothers me is this argument that the Wii should be a 1:1 machine. Go ahead have a 12 year old golf like they really would. Think you can serve like Andy Roddick? Lol, no. Or perhaps you would like resistance behind your sword every time you hit someone? Guess you are going to be playing about a half level a day because there is no way you are going to be hacking shrubbery looking for gems like in the original Zelda....your arm would fall off. So perhaps it is time to realize it is a game console, not an everything simulator, and perhaps the motions are a little more enjoyable than the "skill" required to play the games Yahtzee showed in the video. Those skills being....memorizing the timing of button presses and combinations, plus a bit of muscle memory for moving the analog sticks. Wait....oh the Wii just uses memorization of timing for specific motions, and a tons of muscle memory....clearly far less "skill."
When I go to swipe a ball in 3 on 3 basketball in Wii resort, I wag the Wiimote. Yeah not a full swiping motion, but if it was on Xbox 360 your thumb would move a millimeter. Not to mention....I can play against other people in the same room. The horror! I am still convinced that Natal will require everyone to game in separate rooms. 1:1 is not fun. Maybe some simulator type games would be good, but just accept it is still a game. Take a moment sometime when you are playing some wonderful deep game and look at what you are doing with your hands (likely twiddling one thumb while mashing buttons with the other....in the same repetitive motion).
The motion plus is like adding a bunch of buttons to a controller. Suddenly there are more options to make your GAME a little more complex. That is the strength of Wii Sports Resort, everything is a little more complex than in all the other Wii games. Yes the games do not have the depth of a dedicated sports title, but until that EA basketball game come out....this is the next best thing.
No I am not a Nintendo fanboy. I have played a total of 10 games on Wii, not all are great. I am primarily a hardcore high end PC gamer. The amount of irrational hate and lack of real discussion about the Wii is just infuriating to me. You wonder why every game is the same Yahtzee, read the comments on your reviews..........

Nice work sir! This is your absolute funniest review yet. Not only that, but it is truth. Well done.
