4 Stars Great game and really gives you a workout
I have only played this game a few times but I must say that I really like it. Its hard to figure out at first but after 10-20 minutes I was starting to get into the groove. I have not unlocked any events except the ones you start out with but I have managed to set 2 Olympic records in the long jump and the javelin. I can see many more hours playing this and I havent even gone online with it yet. The game really does work out your arms cause the next day I was sore. With a little practice that should go away. I bought this games used and I am very satisfied. Job well done.
1 Star Why does Wii make silly games
This game is really stinks and it retails for $50.00. Choices are limited. The games are not any fun, espicially for kids. They are complex and short. They need to spend more time with the games before selling them. Very disappointed.
3 Stars Didn’t Entertain As Long As I Thought It Would
Perhaps it’s because I own Wii Sports, Wii Play and Carnival Games, but I grew tired of the game play faster than I expected. Some of the events seem to translate to the Wii controls well e.g. hammer throw, sprinting events, but others e.g. high jump and swimming events seem to miss the mark. Unfortunately all the events grow tiresome very quickly. The sheer number of events is impressive, but the variety boils down to a handful of specific interactions.
It’s nice you can see that you’re rankings against all the other players if your Wii is connected to the Internet; however, I would have given the game 4 stars, and gotten more play time out of it, if one could challenge other humans in real-time ala Mario Kart.
4 Stars Fun for the family
I purchased this as a game we could play along with our 8 year old. It is fun for the family as it acommodates up to four players at a time. Some of the games are quite simple requiring just a shake of the wiimote and some are more challenging (we have all but given up on skeet shooting) and there is a nice variety. My daughter has not tired of this game yet (although my arm hurts) and she managed to unlock all the games in a short period of time. Now we are working on obtaining emblems and trophies. Good family game.
5 Stars Great family fun!!!
My daughter and her friends love this game. They are from 8 to 10 years old. Better than most of the other games we have purchased. Makes the kids move around while learning about all sorts of different sports, some of which they may not have heard of before. A great buy, especially at the price I paid from gaem of the day.
