Advantages: Some great mini-games that really show off the MotionPlus accessory Disadvantages: Expensive to fully kit out two remotes. One or two less compelling mini-games
shown a short cinema sequence during which your character will skydive down to a tropical islandresort called Wuhu Island, which is the setting and backdrop for WSR. You are then presented with the main menu screen. WSR consists of twelve sports, ten of which are entirely new.

Advantages: Stunning beauty, tranquility, dive sites Disadvantages: Italians on an ice-cream company conference. Err...that's about it.

What I hadn't appreciated, however, was the manner in which a seaplane lands - the pilot plunged the plane straight towards the sea at a terrifying 45-degree angle, just pulling up at the last minute to skid to a halt on the outboard floats. I was glad to get off.
FIRST IMPRESSIONS
By now, we were hot, tired and dirty but the first impression of the island was just joyous.

The only slight flaw was that we had to troop ...
