Nintendo was perhaps more lucky than good with "Wii Sports," a terrifically fun compilation of games that made the Wii remote look considerably more versatile than it actually was.

Structurally, "Resort" feels a lot like the original "Sports." Each of the 12 available sports (up from five) features a handful of modes built around the sport, and each mode offers a single-player mode with scalable difficulty, two- or four-player local multiplayer or (in most cases) both. Online play, once again, is a no-show.
