ESPN Sports Connection - Nintendo Wii U

My son loves it - plays all the time even at college!

Our son was given an Amazon gift card and chose to order this game. Previously the only sports game we owned was Wii Sports Resort. He likes playing this one a lot as well. I can't comment on specific details or features since I am not the one playing but I can tell you an 8 year old can play without frustration and will enjoy this game.

I love this game because it's a fun way to get some exercise in period none. I just now need to purchase some of the tennis rackets that go along with the wii U that would make it even more fun.

I loved Wii Sports (bowling, golf, baseball, etc) on the original wii system, and I was excited to see a sports pack for the wii u. I should have done better research (reading the reviews now I can see I made a bad choice) because this game doesn't near match up to previous Wii sports games.I gave the game 2 stars (instead of 1) because it might be worth a much lower price. The games are all "fun", but offer no change or chance of improvements or upgrades as you play. For that reason, it got boring after playing it once. It uses the new wii pad, but, other than maybe catching baseballs, nothing that cool.It is a little bit of fun with a group, especially if playing with non-gamers because of the simplicity, but I wouldn't recommend paying more than $10 for it.If you want a sports game badly, just buy Wii sports until nintendo comes out with Wii U sports.

Like, item is as expected!

I am trying so hard to like this game... If a game is measured by price and game play, then yes, its a pretty decent game! For $12-17 it's a lot of fun. If I would of paid $20+, then I would say BOOO! There is no reason, that in 2013 a game should be played with the limitations that it has... S L O W loading, too many controller "Resets", and not a lot of customization offered. It is apparent that it was thrown together and released quickly.On the other hand, if you accept it for what it is, then it can be fun...Baseball: My wife and I played this for an hour and we actually had a good time. It's basic, not too sophisticated, but we enjoyed it. We don't see ourselves playing it too much though.Golf: We are HUGE Wii Sports Resort golf fans and this game pales to that one. But once your "Get it", then it can be a fun hour. The biggest problem is the S L O W play... the controllers need to be reset after EVERY HOLE???... Come on now?? BOOOooo!Carts: Decent enough for occasional play.Tennis: Actually played pretty well and enjoyed a few laughs. Again, occasional play is warranted.Football: Forget it.Soccer: Forget it.

We enjoy using this game as a family activity. My 5 year old and 1 year old love using the hand held controllers and going through the motions to golf or bat.

I will first start off by saying I have every next Gen n old Gen systems. Wii U is one my name my kids fav. This game was under 5 bucks and has a few different sports games to play. Now the graphics aren't quite as good as some of the other Wii U games but we'll worth the money.
