As many Wii owners know, one of the more prevalent genres within the console's library is the mini-game compilation. The physicality of the Wiimote controller combined with a push toward a more casual gaming audience has created a desire for easily-understood diversions that contain enough variety to maintain an audience's interest. With the exception of the Raving Rabbids series, most of these games are rooted in reality, offering simple recreations of popular sports and a variety of vocations.

TGS writes: "With the amount of Wii Sports clones already chipping in on Nintendo's success, it's easy to find yourself ignoring a large chunk of releases for being nothing more than shovelware. They fill shelves that should be filled with better games, they spend more weeks in the charts than they're worth and they sell a hell of a lot better than many other more worthy titles. So why should you even begin to care about Wacky World of Sports?"
It's not a game that will keep you playing for hours, and it certainly won't be a chart topper. Once again, the low price will be the only selling point, mainly for parents whose children have noticed the colourful and eye-catching front cover. If mini games are what you enjoy, then it is worth a rental.
