Could only lead to a tired wrist and a bored brain.

The fun delivered by FlingSmash lasts only for a few minutes. It's a poor product, lacking in a solid and satisfying gameplay and getting tedious on the long run. But as a bundle with Wiimote Plus, it has some meaning.

It is not clear how Nintendo has agreed to publish a "first party"in these terms, unless we consider the possibility of promoting the Wii remote with Wii motion plus already integrated.

FlingSmash is good for some mindless, co-op fun for a while, but there are plenty of other games out there for that too. But if you want something that uses the wii mote that nearly anyone can play, it's worth at least a lazy afternoon. It's not really that FlingSmash isn't good or that isn't bad, just that it doesn't get interesting after the surface level of playing it, so really there is little reason to revisit.

It's OK I guess. It's very niche and obscure, and its primary purpose is showcasing the Motion Plus. It's fun for a few minutes but I moved on and didn't rediscover it until 10 years later. I don't even know who the final boss of this game is;)

This game is horrible. Even though the game requires the Wii Motion Plus accessory or a Wii Remote Plus controller in order to play, I didn't see any difference in the motion controls. FlingSmash all in all is very disappointing and I say you should totally skip it and screw you MJR for calling this game a "hidden gem".

It's just a shame that its later stages don't make good on the genuinely entertaining gameplay that it initially promises. [Issue#104, p.119]

FlingSmash, to me, is a 10/10 game. The world is lively and vivid, with fun character designs. The controls are fluid due to the Wii MotionPlus's capabilities. The game has an original gameplay style that goes hand-in-hand with the Wii's gimmick of motion controls. Don't know why it's not as highly regarded by the critics.

FlingSmash is a refreshing game, but its innovating gameplay isn't really deep enough. It still works quite well though, but here's the second flaw : it's really short (4 hours) and repetitive (especially when playing coop). You can always come back to it for scoring purposes, or enjoy some not-so-inspired mini-games.

FlingSmash is full of interesting gameplay ideas that would've been a lot more fun if the game controlled well, or at the very least, compensated for the poor controls by being a little more forgiving.

Short, monotonous, lacking replayability with annoying controls... FlingSmash is the clear example that Nintendo also has wrong ideas sometimes.

FlingSmash isn't handball on rails. It's an accessory pimp. And not a very good one at that.

FlingSmash's title might be short, snappy and to the point, but the game itself only manages the first of those three.
