If you haven't played Wii Sports for a while, you can bring some new life to it with ezGear's Wii Sports Pack. I haven't seen this kit in stores, but have seen some of the other Wii Remote accessory add-ons. By now, surely you've spotted a few around. Some can be pretty creepy looking or too small to make a difference. From the ones I've seen out there, these have a larger size and weight to them.

The Wii Sports Pack includes an interchangeable baseball bat, tennis racket, golf club and a handle, which holds the Wii Remote. It's the handle that helps to add a larger size and allows you to grip with both hands. The baseball and tennis racket add-ons give the Wii remote a bit more weight. The golf one may be a bit small, but swinging a life size golf club with your gaming buddies in the room may not be a good idea. If anything, it's good for some laughs on how ridiculous the older gamers will look (see below). The younger kids will probably enjoy playing with their friends and family using them.

On the top of each of the accessories is what ezGear calls an "IR Window." It's basically a transparent piece of plastic that allows you to still use the Wii Remote pointing functionality when navigating game menus. It's a good idea, but unfortunately it didn't work with the tennis racket and the golf club. Even using the baseball bat attachment, which has the largest IR Window, pointing with the Wii Remote was shaky and too much of a pain to use in the menus. You're better off removing the top attachment to use the Wii Remote in menus. You'll want to switch the accessories between sports games anyway.

The Wii Sports Pack was fun to use, but just remember that you have to allow a larger play area when playing with your buddies. Someone almost got a whack on the head with the bat add-on, so remember to keep clear! After going back to the Wii Remote, it felt much lighter and transparent. If you want to add a bit more realism and weight to your swings, you'll want to use the Wii Sports Pack.

ezGear's Wii Sports Pack is available for $29.99 online. See more of ezGear's Wii accesories here, such as Wii Boxing Gloves, Wii carrying case, Wii Remote chargers and a Combat Kit (for the Link kiddies).
