 don't bother until you have tried the games without first August 15, 2008

I bought this at the same time as the WII thinking it would really enhance the sports package - it is fiddly 'undressing' the controller from its skin etc and if you have an excited 3 year old who wants to 'get on and play' this just wastes time. I do not thinkit adds to the enjoyment of the game at all and when using the steering wheel, the remote kept 'popping out!'- the tennis racket and baseball bat are too big for our small room- tendency to smash them into furniture, walls etc the golf club really does help with the positioning of the remote when playing so a point for that- i would try the games without this package before deciding whether or not to buy.

I bought two of these sports packs when I bought the Wii, but have found it irritating to put them on the controller each time you want to play a game and they add NOTHING to the experience. The Wii controller in it's rubber casing with the wrist strap is tactile and easy to hold, whereas the fussing required to screw on these accessories only holds up the game and doesn't help aim/wack/hit at all. Wish I hadn't wasted my money.

The brackets holding the accessories are unsafe and broke after a short time due to their flimsy manufacture. These brackets split after a short time under normal wear and tear and in my opinion are totally unsuitable for use by children.

I can't in all fairness review this product, because I never got it. What Microvillage sent me instead, at no extra cost, was a 15 in 1 set. Even better value, I thought...
Until I tried it. Instead of the large looking screw-in fixing of the 6 in 1 item, this had a rather more flimsy slide in fitting, and when I played tennis, I did notice some swaying in the raquet head.
Then I tried baseball...with near fatal results!! After about half an hours play, I took a swing. The fitting snapped, the bat head shot across the room, & nearly smashed my glass fronted CD cabinet!!
I laugh about it now, but wouldn't have done, had it broken anything.
Problem is, as the side of the fitting that broke was the handle side, it's now completely useless, as none of the heads can be fixed in place.
I'd only got the item in the post that day, & had used it for about an hour in total.
Please, don't accept this as a replacement item, or if you do, AVOID THE BASEBALL BAT AT ALL COSTS!! Let's keep the death, mayhem & destruction on the video screens!
As an aside to this, I should explain that I have no problem with the service given by Microvillage.
I ordered the item last thursday, & picked it up at the mail depot on Monday. Monday night it broke, so I e-mailed Microvillage via Amazon's feedback facility, & a confirmation of a refund in full (including postage) was waiting for me when I got home on Tuesday evening. They've not even asked me to return it as proof it's broken, but then I suppose it was only 8 in total, & wasn't worth the effort. I really can't fault their service at all, which has been quick all round.
