I bought this package thinking it would help increase the fun for my Wii Sports Resort game. In the end, only some of the set actually helped. I had some trouble visualizing how to maneuver my controller to better play some of the games, and this set helped a LOT with that. I no longer had to imagine an oar, golf club, paddle, or sword – I physically had one! It definitely helped with those games. On the other hand, some of the other ones (bow and arrow, jet ski controller, frisbee) were just a headache to deal with. The other objects allowed me to keep the controller in the same plastic sleeve, but the frisbee required me to have to take the controller out of the sleeve just to fit it into the object – no fun and way to much prep work just to play one game. The bow and arrow & jet ski controller was better (you can keep the controller in the sleeve), but it was still more complex to put together than I had the patience for just to play a game.

I the end, if you think you have the patience to spend a few minutes hooking up different mechanisms to play each game or you’re having enough trouble imagining the objects you should be using for the game, this set is perfect for you. Otherwise, it’s not really an enhancement to anything.

I usually am pretty good at giving everything the benefit of the doubt - but this product is horrible. My kids who range from 3-11 had the most terrible time trying to get these to work properly and finally said its not worth it.

1 - The inability to use the Wii remote A&B buttons in the attachments in a normal matter is a complete bust. Sure adults can turn it sideways and upside down - but kids - forget it they hate it.

2 - Attachments good - Archery and Power Cruising good

3 - Attachments OK - Canoeing, table tennis and golf

4 - Attachments "What were they thinking" - Frisbee, sword, wakeboarding

Having consumers fight with this product so much is the real loss here. Do I go Gel/No Gel cover? The loose fittings keep popping out - during sword play this is nuts and dangerous. Lastly having to maneuver the remote to use it normally in these attachments is like playing a bad game of twister.

If your buying this for kids under 12 - forget it your wasting your money. Rating: 1 / 5

I bought this for my 9 yrs. old daughter to go with her Wii system. I was hugely disappointed. The sword piece is so flimsy made of thin plastic that it broke the first time we used it. Other pieces either came loose during the game — a hazard to our walls and TV– and were made of flimsy plastic as well or did not work as well as it should. Pass on this one. We did not return it because it was part of a Christmas present from Santa! I gave it a 2 stars only because the shipping was fast & as always, Amazon is a great place to shop.
