Wii Sports

Wii Sports is set of interactive games that allow players to engage in a variety of sports: bowling, tennis, boxing, baseball, and golf. Wii Sports is more entertainment than fitness game; the Wii remote serves as a tennis racquet, baseball bat, and golf club to provide play that is similar to the actual sports.
