Feel the Force
I am perplexed, having read the most idiotic negative comments made by one individual about this game. I feel that it would be wrong not to give a decent appraisal of a superb game.
There are no issues at all with game control, this game is very responsive to positive movements of the Wii controller. Blocking movements against opponents attacks work effortlessly. Stringing combination attacks against opponents works seamlessly too.
Beat a character and one will be unlocked for you to use later nice. I particularly like the opponents taunts against you, these spur you on to think about what you are doing in a duel. The opponents AI is very good, so if you think that you can bash a few buttons and then brag to your mates that the game is easy think again! I recommend this game it is great fun. Control issues indeed! Now the person that said that is speaking TOSH!

Great Great GREAT!
best wii game in a long time is great fun. Even though it would be better if it was full of all the sabre fight in the saga it is still brill

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.

This is really fun!!!
This turns out to be a very challenging game. It can get very competitive when playing others, which makes it even more fun to play. This is fun for all ages. I am 62 and have a great time with it, and my grandson requested it for Christmas this year which made buying a gift for him very easy.

A lot of fun for adults and kids
Great game. My sons (4 and 6) and I love it. There are many different modes and you can create your own levels. There are competitive and cooperative multiplayer levels, so you have a lot of options.

Fantastic game for the Wii
We have had this game for a few weeks now and it is nothing short of amazing. The fact that the blox and the characters all have different characteristics makes the game fun and challenging. We haven't unlocked all of the levels yet, so there is still more to look forward to. An added bonus is the fact that you can create your own levels using the same blox and characters. My kids have been very creative in creating their own levels. I would highly recommend this game for the Wii.

Solid game, WYSIWYG
I've been a fan of the Super Smash Brothers series since the N64 version came out. I got it the first day it came out and was excited and enthralled with the cross over fighting game. Super Smash Brothers Melee came out and it alone made the Game Cube a worthy purchase for me. I feared that with Brawl, nothing could live up to the fun I had felt while playing the previous versions. I feared the addition of characters for the sake of new characters would be nothing more than mere novelty. I was pleased to have these fears relieved. Super Smash Brothers Brawl delivers an exciting play experience with all its options. The stage designer allows a nice creative outlet and keeps the game constantly changing for many players. The achievements are somewhat staggering, but this gives something to hardcore players.

The new characters mesh really well for the most part (there are a few that feel strange). The game play has changed enough to keep it fresh, but not enough to completely change what was loved. I've found that my skills from Melee transfer really well over to Brawl. There are a few differences, but in terms of control, the GameCube controller gives me the same level of proficiency.

To keep it from being a pure clone of Melee the characters have almost all been universally slowed down. People used to the fast pace of Melee might notice this or become very annoyed with the speed. It was probably done for two good reasons I can think of: better online experiences and character balance. Speed is still an asset in the game, but it is not the ultimate weapon. This allows a bit more balance between characters previously unusable. Bowser and Donkey are still fairly bad, but not NEARLY as bad as they were before.

This is not meant to be a seriously competitive game. It's meant to be brain candy for yourself or a group of friends. There are some flaws in the characters, notably Ike being ridiculously overpowered. Overall, I think these flaws are simple enough to ignore and just focus on enjoying a really well put together game.

fun game
I bought this for my husband and son, and its one of their family games to play together.. they say its much better than all the other ones because it has different ways to play now.. and of course, more characters..

Like me Super Smash Bros. Brawl gets a little old
Bought this for my little cousins along with the console. They seemed to like it ok but not that fun for the older crowd (I was 29 at the time). The attacks didn't seem that sophisticated and I couldn't really string together any satisfactory attacks which was the big appeal for me in fighting games.

I like the idea of 4 players fighting at once, but that doesn't make up for more complex moves and more refined attacks.
