Pros
Pro Come with Wii Mote
This collection of mini games comes with a packed in Wii Remote at only $10 more than a Wii Remote by itself, so really the game costs about $10, which is not all that bad for a few short lived mini games.
Pro Tons of polish
Being a Nintendo first party game the polish of the title shows through the great texture work of the graphics and physics available in game. For what is essentially a low powered machine the game looks and behave quite good.
Pro Easy to pick up and play
For what is esentially a tech demo for the Wii Motion Plus, Wii Sports Resort offers mini games that are easy to pick up and play, even for non gamers. This makes a good title to play with someone who isn't that much into gaming but is still looking to have fun with someone who does.
Cons
Con Short lived fun
There are only 9 mini games available in the title with each only lasting a couple of minutes. Really this "game" feels more like a tech demo than a full fledged game.
Con Wii can loose track and games become difficult to control
The addition of the Wii Motion Plus allows for more accurate control but it also sadly adds issue when the motion bar gets confused. This can make for games that loose track of the controls while playing.
