Though Bowling, Tennis, and Baseball are still my favorites, in that order, Wii Sports Golf has really grown on me and perhaps will soon surpass one of the others in terms of enjoyment. Golf, along with boxing, always felt “too” disconnected from the real deal, especially the latter. However, once I stopped treating the first like a real game of golf, I started having a blast and continue to do so.
I still use full motions standing up, but have relaxed my swing significantly. With putting, I just push the club forward since the Wiimote isn’t precise enough in sensing the real life tapping required to make short puts in the real world. It’s far from the mechanics of real putting, but it’s so much better and “new” than just hitting a button, especially when you sink the shot. Maybe the fleeting enjoyment of boxing stands a sustainable chance after all?
I love golf, it feels really authentic. I just wish there was more to it. Hopefully Mario Golf is on its way.
I think golf is my personal favorite, but only by myself, or just me and my wife… it's not a good four person game (takes too long).I can't wait for a Tiger Woods game.
i started ROCKIN' on some boxing lately. My secret: I hold the control really close to my face . It really seams to work. I'm almost pro but those later boxers are tough! The cool thing is the crowd gets really big and into it!
My 3-year old LOVES Wii Sports boxing. It's the only one he can actually play easily.
I'm with you, Blake! Wii Golf was my first Wii love and it still is. Too bad it is so short! Here's hoping for Super Swing Golf and Tiger Woods Golf coming up soon on the Wii…
Golf is great except for the putting. I feel I must be doing something very wrong, maybe there is some sensitivity setting I don't know about or something. If I could work out the putting then golf would be perfect.I expect that the Wii is going to be the home of sports games this generation. Playing sports games on consoles using complicated combinations of button presses has always felt wrong.
