Almost Perfect- Having the balance board is a must!
I have been truly enjoying We Ski! Compared to the Wii Fit skiing, there are several nice additions that make this game alot of fun!
The mountain has several runs from easy to advanced. Once you get a hang of the use of the nunchuck and remote as your poles, you'll find the game to offer alot of different mini games- from search and rescue to delivery service on the mtn. The only downfall of the game is that unlike the wii fit skiing which allows for forward and backward use of the balance board to increase or decrease spped, We Skiing only allows for side to side motions with the balance board.
Confusing
I had a very hard time understanding what to do with this game. I read the directions (which were also hard to understand) and wound up having fun not by constantly having my skiier bang into trees, people, etc - not the concept of the game. But since I couldn't get my skieer to do what I wanted it to do, which was ski, I had a blast just playing around with the controls and seeing my skiier bump into things. This is not as easy as the Nintendo games and therefore would not recommend it.
So much fun for the whole family
I love skiing in the Wii Fit what little there is of it so when I saw this I grabbed it and my husband and I skiied and had a blast. I love that you have free reign of all the slopes and the whole area, you can choose to do quests or not, and get a bit of a workout too and that it uses the balance board. I even get a little motion sick, but not bad enough to not keep playing, on some of the slopes which shows how real it can feel at times. Great game. I do wish we could go in the buildings or earn money to buy outfits and gear rather than earn stars and gear but that doesn't take away from the fun.
