Wii Play - a Top Selling Game for 2007
It really doesn’t surprise me to learn that Wii Play finished second in games sold for 2007. While Wii Play is a fun game, it comes with a Wiimote, a huge selling point for the $50 game. It’s best to have at least two Wii remotes so that multi-player games are easier to play.
When we bought our Wii, we asked the sales guy what game he would recommend. He pointed out a few and then said Wii Play was a very good choice because it came with a Wiimote. The mini-games are enjoyable and are really more fun when playing with another person. Wii Play is a good choice for your first game for your new Wii since it comes with a Wii remote. Also I have to believe that our sales guy isn’t the only one giving out the advice about buying Wii Play to new Wii owners.
Wii Play includes nine mini-games that make good use of the Wiimote. Players can play pool, pose a Mii, or ride a charging bull. Even though the Wii comes bundled with Wii Sports that has some multi-player mini-games, Wii Play is a little more in-depth and offers a larger variety of games.
The biggest advantage to Wii Play is the Wiimote and is without a doubt the reason it was the second best selling game of 2007. The number one selling game of 2007 was Halo. Surprise, Surprise. Two more Wii games made the top ten list: Super Mario Galaxy came in at 5 and Mario Party strong sales ranked it at 10.

I never got too much into the mini games of Wii Play, but it definitely is worth its price for the Wiimote and the minorly enjoyable games on it. It was especially worth it when we bought it when it came out because it was hard to buy Wiimotes at that time.
