 Wii Ski is LOTS OF FUN! July 16, 2008
I think this is one of the most fun Wii games on the market today. Up to 4 players can compete skiing down the various mountain trails. You can even use the Wii balance board if you wish. Very pleased with this game and highly recommend it to anyone.
Wii SKi! ... lots of FUN! July 7, 2008
the game play, graphics and controls is pretty good! although the game play could be a bit better and controls more responsive.... it is not quite "real" or the feel is not as perfect !but I guess its a good iteration of using the WIi Fit board and the wiimote and nunchuck!
the controls is easy to follow and quite innovative! but I feel it could be better!
We should see more improvement on better utilizing the Wii Fit board!
overall quite satisfied with the game for the price I paid thru Amazon!
Can;t wait to hit the slopes in Colorado comming Winter!
Wii Ski for use with the Wii Fit July 6, 2008
This is a nice change of pace from the Wii Fit skiing games. It can be played without the Wii Fit, but with the Wii Fit you can practice for some of the Wii Fit balance but still get away from the hurry up and short timed Wii Fit games. I realy enjoy the night view with all the lights. I'm not allthat good at it, but I enjoy the challenges given to you by the people you stop and talk to. The only problem with the Wii Fit board is that you can only play with one person. If you want to change players you have to return to the main menu and restart.
 Gets old quickly July 2, 2008
I got this game on a Friday and played it over the weekend. I attended the full Ski School program and started skiing. It was great fun at first, but quickly grew old. The ranking system seems inconsistant in how it tracks your performance. I might get an A one time with few turns, and a D the next saying I needed more turns. The minigames are just ok, but range from super easy to nearly impossible (orienteering). This is one of those games that you might play for awhile, put away, and then take out again every once in awhile. Not an addictive game like Wii Sports.
Also, I appreciate that the Wii is a "Family" game, but with the clear popularity among adults, it might be nice to see less "Cartoonish" characters. Nintendo has got a great thing going here - but they have to keep the interest up.
Really fun July 2, 2008
Our 6 year old son got this for his birthday and he loves playing it! (My husband enjoys it, too!) We were able to start skiing about 5 minutes after getting it out of the box. It's very easy to use and fun, too! We bought a second controller and nunchuck to have even more fun. The split screen, two-player feature makes the skiing really fun for my son and his friends!
The ski school feature allows you to better hone your skills and gives you lots of practice, in case you need it. The different challenges on the ski slopes gives you options for when you want to try new things.
Overall, this is a really fun game. I would definitely recommend it to kids of all ages!
