Customer Reviews

As someone that still thinks that Wii Sports is the best game on the Wii so far I'm probably not the best person to write a review .. But all the same I will
I have a 4 y/o grand son and a wife that hates games consoles but BOTH love Wii Sports and the fact that it doesn't take a lot to get good at the game and also you can have a laff while doing so - in fact my wife has still only lost once to me at bowling.
So - I digress - I saw this and thought cricket, soccer, American Football, Volley Ball (alas no sign of nubile females in skimpy bikinis) etc. can't be all bad so bought it on a whim and have not regretted it -
If yr a hard core gamer (why did you buy the wii :-)?) this is not for you - but if you're a family person looking for a few hours (our first foray was for four hours) - then this is a game for you
The music plinks along and drives you mad - you are not totally sure if you really have control at all times - but it is GREAT FUN! which after all is what I bought the Wii for -
This is definitely one of those games that you will bring out on a rainy afternoon - or at the end of a Saturday after a good meal and way too much wine and all will enjoy
Gameplay is fun - graphics are fine - the mixture of sports and ways of playing are very interesting
Best of all - within a few minutes you'll be having fun - so what if you lose your first beach cricket match - it's like real golf for the most of us - you'll enjoy the fact that you did score a six into the sea and ended up with -38 runs :-) (kinda like a par on the 4th and a round of 130)
So - honestly - if you have a Wii - play it like me - now and again - then this is probably a great game to have for family and friends that don't come around that often but will enjoy a game that has immediate results and doesn't take an age to learn or require hours of intense concentration to get to the end.
Only 4 stars - well would of been 5 but the music really does drive you insane :-)
Hope this helps

Got it for my 6 yr old for xmas.
On the whole its a bit of a let down.
No support for your mii but the custom face feature via the DS console adds an extra dimension.
Played through the games one night and have the following opinions.
Bocce (boules) - This is by far the best of the 6 games, and have played for a good few hours - will continue to appeal with opponents getting harder to beat and multiplayer will be fun
soccer - waste of time - you just dont feel connected to whats going on
volleyball - see soccer
disc golf - seemed okay the first game but rapidly lost interest - doubt i'll play again.
cricket - this was fun, felt connected to the game will be playing again.
american football - see soccer
despite the 4 games i didnt like here - i am glad we have this one on the shelf, me and my son have enjoyed the boules and the cricket and will play with the same enthusiasm we have for wii sports (bowling and golf)
