5 Stars Unbelievably real
Absolutely love it! Amazing how real it is. Graphics are beautiful. Need to judge wind speed and direction, uphill or downhill, fairway-rough-sand lie, green breaks, club selection, whether to lay up or go for the green. Right now I’m trying out for the PGA tour and already have a Nike sponsorship! Love creating and updating my own golfer, the pro shop is fun. Also playing as one of the pros, kind of different being able to hit a 360 yard drive! Enjoy all of the different formats of play also. Can’t wait to unlock more courses. Hoping this will affect my real game in a positive way.
5 Stars Spectacular Game
What an amazing game.
Gameplay is very nice, earning skill points and sponsors to make your golfer better and use better equipment. Career and season mode are awesome.
Do NOT complain about the graphics. This is the wii, the graphics are good enough. Who really need to see sweat dripping off golfers anyways?
All in all, amazing.
4 Stars MUCH better than TW `07!!! Finally, a great realistic golf game for the Wii
After being frustrated beyond belief with swing issues in TW `07, EA must’ve heard me cursing the game one night. 2008 corrects 95% of the glitches in swing from `07, finally giving us another golf game outside Wii Sports that accurately mimics your real swing. If you slice, you’ll see it here. Hook the ball, you’ll do it on this game. The realism and variety of actuals courses is great :).
I hope online play comes next year. Also, be careful putting. I’ve accidentally hit some weak putts with just the slightest twitch of the wiimote during setup for putting. Not fun to have bogeys and double bogeys on easy holes like the Las Vegas’ Falls greens. Otherwise this game is worth it!
5 Stars Tiger Woods Golf
This is a great game for beginners and more advanced alike. We have had hours of fun with this game. Highly recommend. Nicely packaged and fast shipping. Thank you.
5 Stars Most excellent fun!
Great game; we’ve had Tiger Woods PGA tour the last 3 years on PC, but playing it on the Wii takes the game to a whole new level of fun! Unmatched entertainment; great graphics; realistic; feel like a champ when you get your first hole in one! Bought the nerf golf club extension and can’t get enough. The handle of the golf club actually pulsates when you hit it sweet and shakes to simulate “nerves” when you are hitting a clutch shot or the shot that will win the match. Fun to play alone or with a group of friends. Just like the PC game, you get to create your character,build your skill level, buy clothing and clubs, increase your skills, get endorsements, play the tour, play unique and fun challenges. Never been a gamer, but this is sheer fun!

5 Stars Good wii game for our 5 year old
We just bought this game for our almost 5 year old daughter and she really likes it. It took some practice to get use to using the wii remote but now that she’s got it figured out she loves the game. She’s been able to play on the easy, medium and hard levels with little to no assistance from us. I’m very happy with this purchase. The graphics are well done and it’s really a great game for her age range.
3 Stars Review
My four year old daughter loved this game, but frankly it was a lot harder in some areas than it should be. The instructions were not that great, and in some situations there is no way the child could figure out how to get task solved. The graphics and sound are very good in the game
5 Stars Fantastic game for your young girl
I purchased this game as a gift for my daughter. I’m a long time gamer myself and I have found this to be one of the most well-crafted children’s games available. I even went out of my way to e-mail the game developer and let them know what a great experience our family had with it.
There are more than a few things the developer did right that make this game easily accessible to the children (mine is 4): careful placement of the gems in the environment lead to important objectives and location, forgiving Wii controls for the wand, enemies that go down without too much of a fight, goals that are verbally spoken and gently repeated at certain intervals to keep the player focused.. the list goes on.
My daughter had an amazing time with game, and while I was always there to help coach, she was challenged without being frustrated. The only real disappointment to her came when the game ended and the ‘bonus’ area was simply a brief mini-game in Belle’s Ballroom; she had really hoped to play a full level as Belle.
I really can’t recommend this game enough for your young girl, especially if she is a fan of the Princesses. She may require a little guidance at first, but the format of the game is easily grasped. The game will surely help build her confidence and puzzle solving abilities as well as encourage exploration of a 3-D environment, one of the things I think my daughter finds most challenging with modern games (3-D navigation, I mean.) I don’t regret the full price purchase one bit, if you can get it for less a purchase is a no-brainer.
Have fun!
5 Stars A fun game for little ones
Obviously this game isn’t for older kids but my 4 and 6 year old daughters love it. They have fun creating their princesses and doing magic with their wands. They’ve played through the entire game a couple of times now & still want to play it again. Bottom line, it was worth it because they have so much fun playing.
5 Stars Best Wii game out there for girls (5 year old)
I had to give this title some credit, I am a father of two girls, a 5 year old with whom I play wii with and share many special moments with. This game’s wii remote features are really great, it works like a magic wand for her, its the best two player game out there so you can play along side her and help her out. The levels are all basically easy for them, and very complete, she gets to play scenes or character from all the mayor disney princess movies. They are very entertaining and educational, and the second best thing about the game is that she can customize her character and change her hair, color, dress, accesories, etc, I think she enjoys this more than the regular game play. The only drawback of this game is that its too short and easy to finish thru and the bad guys slightly scared her even though in my opinion they are inoffensive and even cute.

2 Stars Good dart game.
We like the darts game. The others are too difficult for guests to easily pickup and too boring for me to mess with.
4 Stars Very good physics & controls of 7 games
I rented this & only had an hour to play….
-So many peole have written great detailed reviews about:
-weird wiping motion of the audience
-great feel/music/presentation
-great use of the wii remote to simulate how you’d do it for real (though -some are a little off angle)
-the disapointment of 1 player games like hoops
-unlockables like diff color balls, etc.
-so many characters to choose from & lucky none have any impact on your -controlling aim - games angle/rotate like wii sports (skill ball, shuffleboard)
Darts - 2 player - has several games: standard, 301, 501, etc. very realistic execution, even pops off the metal if hit it
Hoop shoot - 1 player - takes a bit to get the feel down, but very realistic, gets you off a chair, I loved it
Skill ball/Skee ball - 1 player - realistic controls, feels just as exciting as real thing if that game is the type you like, not a fav of mine in real life, but cute
Shuffleboard - tabletop with small metal/plastic disks, realistic sounds, good physics though aim tends to go a little more to right then aim shows but reactions are real, though puck moves a bit slow
Ping cup/beer pong - never played it in real life, takes a min to find your sweet spot/feel how to bounce or not, cute
Trivia - 4 players - spin the wheel of subjects & 4 multi choice answers with time limit & your remote vibrates slightly if answer wrong, but only get one chance to answer. trivia isn’t a game I like normally, but I love the simple tv quiz game look of the “contestants”
Air hockey - LOVED it, not sure why people found the wii play beeter, I hated it since that one if you move your hand an inch you move off the board. in this you move with the eye of the character though you’re looking down on the board. so you move forward & can reac almost to the middle of the board, right.. very smooth movement & true to live of the puck, same as the smooth arm movements & speed & accuracy of the move. I thought it was perfect. since you are looking down like a onlooker & not 1st person, I had to turn my head to side to orient myself at first. yes, I did score on myself several times at first, but I got the feel of it quickly & little practice I was making fast more confident shots. to make it easier if it was 1st eprson I think anyone would get it great.
For the presentation & control of the air hockey, hoops & darts, it’s worth it to me.
For those who want mroe info, there are many game sites that have done reviews as well as many videos on youtube showing the gameplay.
4 Stars Fun, fun, fun
This Wii game is a lot of fun to play. I am having a hard time getting the control to work on the skill ball game on a consistent basis but the other games work okay. I love skill ball that is why I purchased the game and the price was great too.
4 Stars Fun games
We love realistic games on the Wii, so I thought we’d probably enjoy Game Party. And seeing as how it contains some games that we don’t already have on other game discs, I decided to grab it when I came across it.
It’s not the absolute best game out there, but we’ve enjoyed it. It’s a bit too advanced for our 5 year old (who can play Wii Sports, Wii Play, and Carnival Games easily), but my husband and I have both played it and had fun. The games offered are a decent variety, enough to keep our attention for a couple of hours or so. This is also another good game to play when you have friends/family over, one that almost anyone can play. And being in the $20-$25 range, it’s a lot cheaper than other Wii games.
If you’re a hard core gamer, then this isn’t your kind of game. However if you’re like us and enjoy realistic, family-friendly games, then this is a good addition to your game line-up.
4 Stars Game Party
As an adult, I actually bought this game because of the darts. My family loves to shoot darts. The rest of the games, I found to more for young children or young teens (maybe the 9 - 16 or so age). The games were fairly easy to play, but I’m glad I bought it. Thanks, Danny

3 Stars Cars limited
This game is limited on car models, but if you are ok with that it is a fun game for the price.
3 Stars So so…..
Purchased a GT Pro series with wheel for Wii. The wheel itself is very flimsy and small. The steering etc. is not all that good. All in all I would give it a 5 at best.
5 Stars GT Pro Series
Excellent game. The free steering wheel is a great added bonus. Makes driving much easier holding the wheel. Great selection of cars and tracks to choose from as well.
2 Stars Pro Series
This game is not what I expected. It is fun but has many cliches. I do not suggest buying this one new or without trying first. Ours will not load muliple players it freezes frequently.
1 Star dissappointed
This item did not ship with the wheel. Had to send it back for a refund.
