I guess it says something about a game when you manage to throw your back out and hurt your shoulder playing it.

A friend of mine got me Super Swing Golf. It's very good.

I need to start stretching or something :-/ :p
 
With Super Swing Golf, the movements are more exagerated, so I guess it's easier to hurt yourself.

It's actually a really good game; a bit more advanced than Wiisports Golf.

/me does some stretches.
 
i threw out my shoulder playing wiisports baseball.....tho i kept trying to make it over the 94mph fastball mark....never succeded
 
94 is my max too. Maybe you can only throw it so fast? :shrug:

BTW, Oni, how is Super Swing Golf? (I know you said it's very good, but I'd like to hear more of what you think)
 
I was deciding over super swing golf or rayman, could you please describe the gameplay a little more? Thanks oni...

I second that.

Does it read wrist movement well?

I guess a better question is do you play golf and do you hit the ball straight when you do and does the game simulate hooks, slices, drawl? What kind of clubs can you use other than the standard SW-Driver?
 
Super Swing Golf is actually very good. The level of character customization is almost insane, with the sheer volume of crap you can buy for your characters in the game, and the unlockables that are available.

Play mechanic is leagues advanced over Wiisports Golf in regards to ball positioning, shots that can be performed, and other such like that. Choosing where to hit the ball is done via sub-menus before you perform your swing, and the swing is pretty intuitive. The learning curve is a bit steep however, and you won't be performing 200+ yard drives right off the bat (at least I wasn't).

The characters are detailed and cute, the landscapes vibrant and interesting. Do NOT expect a Tiger Woods-esque golf simulator. This game is definitely not that. But it is painfully fun to play.

Thats good to hear. i can handle a Hot Shots type golf game till TW is out and its especially good to hear the swing mechanics are tightened up over Wii Golf.

Can't wait to hack my way through the real courses with the Wiimote.
 
My arms got a good work out from playing Rayman all day. This system really gets your heart rate up.

IIRC, it's actually designed by the same people who designed Hot Shots Golf.

This game is freaking HARD! Sweet science is it difficult. However, maybe I just suck at it. I'll just have to keep practicing.

*Oni does more stretches.
 
I was hurtin the morning after I leveled up my Mii to Professional in Wii Sports boxing!
 
Woo! I bought my character a set of baseball bat clubs, a red Chinese outfit, and a white Chinese outfit. Now I just need the bathing suit outfit and I'm all set.

I swear sometimes I must be a woman . . .
 
My arm was hurting the first day I got dbz budokai tenkaichi 2 while doing the kamehameha. Who would have thought it would be painful to game?
 
I seriously cannot get enough of this game. It's so intuitive and fun! I'm getting really really good at it, too! I'm hitting power shots like, 80% of the time easy. It's really fun.

I've unlocked another character and a whole truckload of equipment and items and clothing for the characters. It's pretty slick.
 
Your kids would pro'lly really dig it. Just make sure they are supervised while playing or you might end up w/ a Wiimote embedded in your wall or tv.
