What is in Wii Sports are FAR more games than what a lot of people who play videogames think are games. A LOT of things branded as games are more interactive fiction (or puzzles) than they are games. Games, before videogames, consisted of things you played against someone else, or a group of people, that had rules, and winners and losers. There was no story, and no narrative. It was you, playing under rules, trying to best someone else. Now, you get individuals such as yourself, who end up saying stuff like you did, which implies that the only things that are games are things with story, and plot points, that you complete. You turn interactive fiction into the only thing you consider a game, which totally does a disservice to REAL games, and what have been traditionally been games. These are NOT puzzles, nor are they stories, but they are things you compete at other people and try to defeat on a battlefield of a sort.

Okay that was my arugment about the game for the longest time. I'm not saying the game is horrible or anything. To this day I still play Wii Sports, not for because it was free but because it keeps me active meaning moving around and being able to play it with your friends is more than a reason to call it a game of its own.
