I picked up Wii Sports Resort today. Couldn't get a second WMP (store didn't have any, despite having lots of copies of the game available), so I need to keep my eyes peeled for that. I spent around 2 hours playing it tonight and on the whole I enjoy it. I have not yet played all the sports, but I'll try to comment on those I tried.
Bowling was quite challenging due to the more sensitive motion control. I've bowled 300 in the original Wii Sports and I doubt I will manage that any time soon in this game, as the most consecutive strikes I was able to get tonight was three.
Table tennis was enjoyable because the WMP gives you the control I wish I had in the original Wii Sports tennis game. Seeing the WMP in action makes me wish they had included a tennis game in this one. This game is a lot more sensitive to whether you're swinging forehand or backhand.
Basketball three-point shooting is a neat game, but having to pick up each ball in turn seems like it will become annoying. (You have to reach your remote down whilst hitting "B" to pick up the ball, then use the remote in a shooting motion to shoot three-pointers.) I suppose in actual three-point contests the shooter has to pick up the balls himself and thus I shouldn't grumble about it, but tonight it got on my nerves.
The swordfighting seems more enjoyable than the boxing in the original Wii Sports. I worked up a bit of a sweat whilst playing this one.
Throwing the Frisbee to the dog was quite difficult. I'm having a lot of trouble getting it aimed well.
Archery is interesting and the 35-yard distance on the beginner game was rather challenging. Holding the remote in my left hand and the nunchuk in my right hand was EXTREMELY unnatural to me since I've always done the opposite in all other games (I play Mario Kart using the remote/nunchuk rather than the wheel, so I use the nunchuk a lot!).
I don't entirely get wakeboarding just yet. I understand the general idea of what you're supposed to do, but controlling it is giving me trouble.
All in all it seems like an entertaining game with enough depth to keep you interested. All the games have multiple modes that you unlock as you play, so it's not simply a game where you just increase your skill level over time like in the original Wii Sports. I agree with "raisinghelen" that online play would have been a nice addition, but its omission doesn't weaken the game too much in my view.
