With a decent batch of diverse, sporty people to pick before plunging in, the minimum for an acceptable framework to the experience was certainly achieved, and had the sports been solid or even just decent on the whole, this could have maybe been a nice supplement to Wii Sports. While many of the sports on offer are meant to be enjoyed for the simple competitions they are, players can also build profiles up with accolades, special conditions such as shutting out an opponent in a game or performing a tricky maneuver helping them build up their profile’s title. With the theme of an island getaway full of outside activities, up to four players can play the 7 sports on offer, with computer controlled players able to fill any slots that aren’t occupied by a human being. There were still plenty of sports Wii Sports didn’t include after all, and that’s how Summer Sports: Paradise Island hoped to catch the eye of casual gamers. When it came to harnessing the motion controls for something accessible and appealing to the masses, Wii Sports already had obvious routes like bowling, tennis, and golf covered, and while you could make more in-depth versions of these sports to try and compete, to turn over a game quickly while still having broad appeal required looking elsewhere.
While the sensation that was the Wii drew in plenty of developers looking to capitalize on its popularity with a wider audience than typical video game players, the pack-in title Wii Sports hampered what could have been their easy avenue to success.
