Wii MotionPlus user reviews

Pros Hopefully, some realistic feel to games like Archery and 1:1 movement in New releases.
Drop the price, or give us Original purchasers a reason to stay with the CONCEPT of the console, which was it's biggest selling point to begin with.

Cons Wii won't continue to spend for outdated tiltles/games, and the poorer graphics that Wii has verses the other consoles. Hurry up and Catch-up, with Motion plus sensitive titles, new Games. The controller is getting a tad big. In a word-Streamline!

Summary After writing this I'm starting to wonder why I purchased the Wii in the first place. But I still must give props for Fitness, and the overall concept of the Console, which is why I bought it in the first place. New Titles, better graphics with more storage, start incorporating technology already there into the Original console and let the dynamics of the Wii's strongest selling point keep it in line with the competition. That being the Immersion into the game itself.

Pros Wii Sports Resort and Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10. Tiger's golf is a lot harder to play but still fun. It will take a lot of practice. Wii Sports Resort,table tennis is great. Easy and realistic. Frisbie Dog is fun, not hard to get used to.

Cons Wii golf is impossible to go straight when you want. I have to calibrate more then I should have to and it's difficult playing cycling and canoing. If I move the remote the way the instructions show me my actions on screen are completely opposite.

Summary Bottom-line I would recommend purchasing MotionPlus. My minor issues are most likely just my issue and nobody else should be having the same one. MotionPlus did make playing the Wii even more enjoyable. I didn't think that could happen. I look forward to the future games.

Pros Improved response ,and control from your controller allowed for a better game play experience. Also the slight increase in difficulty for some games like Wii Sports Resort(Golf) was greatly appreciated.

Cons Makes using pre-motion plus charge stations slightly more work to use ,but as far as cons go that not that big of a deal unless your that lazy.

Summary My conclustion is that the new attachment is great and does exactly what nintendo said it would do. The only complaints that I've heard from people are ones that aren't due to the device being faulty ,but the user not having the skill to use it. I have played Wii Sports Resort a lot ,and have not found the device to be buggy at all. For example in golf I'm able to hit the ball straight as long as I remember to account for the wind ,and the new additions to the golf game allow me to now curve my shot when I want to. I have not had any mishaps since using the motion plus. I advise anyone who isn't able to play the games that use it to just practice more ,and stop trying to blame the unit for your lack of experience I understand that with the more accurate response you'll have to try harder ,but thats not a bad thing.

Pros I like nothing about this motion plus so no pros

Cons I believe its a waste of money because i get better and more reponsive game play without the motion plus connected

Summary table tennis is a good addition, but with the motion plus connected i find i cant change the forhand to a backhand swing without knocking the ball off the table, this maybe a glitch in the program and maynot be due to the motion plus, golf is very hard with the motion plus the earlier game was crisper and more profesional when you took a swing at the ball you hit it where you wanted it to go taking into account the wind direction and power, with the new game of golf in the wii sports resort when you try to hit the ball the club seems to remain behind your head and hits the ball when you are not ready? the swing power meter for the angle swing left or right even when you swing correctley, i play the game for real so motion plus doesnt work for me, but the earlier game of golf on wii sports works just fine, i have two remotes and purchased a second motion plus on the strength of a better game play and more accuracy but boy am i dissapointed, the down side of course is that if you want to play these motion plus games you must buy the motion plus, you cannot play them without one so the game works out very expensive, or for the first game, if the games had a play with motion sensor or play without, i would opt for the later but you dont get this option, so in conclution i dont like it? waste of money, and it doent feel any different with the vibrations if anything they are also poorer.

what i forgot to add was in the archery game, while the game seems preey good, when you pull back on the bow string, if you dont point the bow (remote down) first you end up sigting into the sky and sometimes over to the left or right so when you get the target in your sights your hand will be covering the target and makes it difficult to shoot on target so you may have to reset and reaim more than once to get the pefect target. sky diving and water boarding are great and the canoeing
