« The North American Union | BUSY » 10-16-07 I picked up Wii Play the other day. It costs $60, which is about par for a new game. However, it comes with a Wii Remote (normally $50), so you're essentially buying a Wiimote and getting a game for $10. In case you don't know, Wii Play is a series of minigames meant to showcase the abilities of the Wii Remote, much like Wii Sports. Unfortunately, a most of the games are quite minimal and wear out their novelty relatively quickly. The exception is the game called Tanks!.
In Tanks!, you control a tiny toy tank, pitted against other tiny tanks in an arena made out of wood blocks. When the tanks roll they sound like old tin wind-up vehicles, and the music consists of a nutcracker-like piccolo and snare drum march. It's wretchedly adorable. Your shells ricochet off walls, which you can use to hit enemies around corners. The game is definitely addictive, and can be played solo or with two players. It's for Tanks! and Tanks! alone that I'd recommend picking up Wii Play if you need an extra controller. OMG Tanks! Posted on October 16, 2007 02:10 PM Comments: Tanks and the cow one.
