This pack-in title might be a tutorial in disguise, but it's still tons of fun

Even those playing alone aren't completely left out. Wii Sports doesn't feature any real progression or depth, so its single-player fun wanes after a while, but 15 different training modes and daily Brain Age-style Wii Fitness tests are enough to keep things interesting for lonely types.

It'd be easy to criticize Wii Sports for its stripped-down simplicity, but that's kind of the point. The game's meant to be a no-frills, no-pressure entry point into the Wii and its bizarre new way of playing videogames, and it's impressive that it manages to be a lot of fun at the same time. It's no Zelda, of course, but it's free, and it's hard to imagine a better first game for Nintendo's new console.
