Most of the games I have takes some time get use to. So, it is a little hard for my parents or non-gaming friends to play. However, games like Wii Play can be picked up and played instantly. My 6 year old cousin wouldn't be able to play games like super smash bros without being extremely confused. With this on the other hand, she can match up her mii with the background easily or find where her mii is in a pack of mii's. She still loves bowling from wii sports the best though.
Finding the mii is really fun. Especially when you put it on single player and have your whole family help you out. Every time you get it right, you get more time. It gets really hard later on like beyond level 30.
Some of the other minigames like duck hunt and riding the cow are really fun, but I find Finding mii the best.
This is a good game, but nintendo could have made it so much better. Like having a goal (or more of a goal) to getting gold metals, like unlocking more minigames or unlocking extras features to dress up your mii. If it had a little more of a purpose I would have given it a 5.

As most people pointed out, it seems like a good deal at first. Why pay just for the controller, when you can pay a little bit extra and get the game. (Un)Luckily, I got this game from a friend for free (who probably bought it for the controller). Most of the games just don't work right. If you want a fun game to play when friends come over Mario Kart or Wii Sports are much better options.
Not as solid as Wii Sports June 7, 2009

If you've played Wii Sports and are expecting Wii Play to be more of the same fun, think again. Wii Play's games are much less involved, and while there are 9 games overall, there aren't any hidden games or fun features that made Wii Sports so enjoyable, just mindless medals you can collect as you pursue high scores (Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum).
While Wii Sports was a game in which you could unlock features as you progressed, the only thing you unlock in Wii Play are the 9 games, and you're forced to do this unlocking process when you begin. Instead of being able to play all the games, you start with one, have to play it, then you can play the next one, until you end up in the ninth and final game. What is really annoying about this is that your score during the first run does not count toward the medals you get, so don't worry about doing well in any game until you have them all unlocked. Also, once you get a gold medal, you have to play again to even have a chance to get a "platinum" medal.
Every time you get a medal your Wii gives you a hint about the game. However, if you get a Silver or Gold medal before you get a Bronze for example, then you lose out on a tip. Very poor design if you ask me.
Of the nine games, I found Shooting Range, Charge!, Tanks!, Billiards, and Fishing rather fun, but Find Mii, Table Tennis, Pose Mii and Laser Hockey are not that great. Five decent side-games for $10 isn't too bad though.
The Enjoyable
01. Billiards -- There is a bit of a learning curve here and it's awkward because there doesn't seem to be any penalty for sinking the wrong balls, but with time you'll love it. Just find some music to play because this game has a terrible soundtrack.
02. Tanks -- While Tanks! is by far the most complex game on the disc, it is also annoying to have to start from scratch all the time. Nice freeform play though and there is no time limit for single player mode. Pretty addictive.
03. Charge! -- While there is only one course, riding a weird looking cow is pretty cool. Unlike the other games, you decide where you are going the whole time, and the freeform design, despite the time limit, is a lot of fun.
04. Shooting Range -- This game will make you want a Wii Gun, lots of fun but limited playback. Just fun to shoot targets with Wiimote.
05. Fishing -- Very limited hungry hungry hippo like game, casting can be awkward due to the fish running out of room to swim, but an interesting game. The graphics are odd though.
The Boring
06. Find Mii -- There are some interesting scenes, but very easy to get bored. Great for puzzle seekers and memory building though. For the "odd Miis out," just look for something like Miis looking the wrong way at tennis.
07. Pose Mii -- Once again, great for the puzzle-loving crowd, but not my style of fun.
08. Table Tennis -- All you do is move the remote back and forth like pong, no swing, no skill involved except twitch gaming. Much better for the Wiimote actually than Laser Hockey since you move left and right rather than up and down the whole time, but still rather boring after awhile. I mean, if you have Wii Sports, Tennis is just so much better than Table Tennis.
09. Laser Hockey -- Worthless to play in single player, you'll end up watching the CPU score goals for you because the "puck" ends up weirdly getting past the paddle too easy and it becomes impossible to save. You'll do the same back sometimes for the CPU. Better in multiplayer but the game dynamics just suck. It's hard to play a game with the Wiimote when you are controlling the left or right side of the screen and the game would have probably been more fun to use with traditional controller rather than a Wiimote.
Most of all games are fun! June 7, 2009

Good price combination to a Wii remote. I enjoy playing most of games.
All in all, worth $$.
 Wii play it once in a while. June 1, 2009

Wii play is worth the few extra dollars you would otherwise spend getting a remote you need anyway, although its hasn't been something we play very often. It's basically an inexpensive way to begin building your game library and provide some options.
