Is it still worth playing?

Set on a tropical island in an archipelago called Wuhu Island, this 2009 sports game for the Wii was the first to require the Wii MotionPlus accessory, which was bundled with it. A first start plays instructional videos, then the strap usage screen and the Wii MotionPlus test, and ends with a skydive to Wuhu Island. Twelve different sports are available, each played by holding the Wii Remote, and in some cases the Nunchuk, like the real sport. In archery the player holds the Wii Remote vertically as the bow and pulls the Nunchuk back for the string. The MotionPlus allows one-to-one control and greater accuracy. Swinging a controller like a sword or a bow is a way to play that is still easy to pick up today.
