Summer Sports: Paradise Island features a selection of games designed to simulate popular backyard games and activates. Players can toss horseshoes and lawn darts, knock it over the net in badminton and volley ball, run the wickets in croquet, or take their best shot in one of three basketball variations: "Shot Clock," "Around the World," and "H-O-R-S-E." A nine-hole mini-golf course rounds out the virtual island's recreational offerings. All games can be controlled completely through Wii Remote gestures, designed to emulate the real-life motions used in each sport.
