Customer Reviews

Great work out for the arms!
This game uses nunchucks and you are constantly working out those arms! I'm still trying to get used to the swimming and diving part as well cycling but let me tell you, you will be tired but in a fun way! Great game if you are challenging someone to a race. Great buy!

Love this game
Personally, I love any game that involves competition and medal/award winning. There are so many events in this game and each competition is pretty unique. There is also the ability to create a custom competition and compete in only the events you choose. This game (at least for me) is not one that you master on the first time you play it. It takes practice. You are able to play alone against NPCs or with up to 4 people. It is a great workout for the arms and shoulders. I really enjoy it.

Not worth the price
First, let me say that I love athletic-type games. I thought the Wii would bring the sports even more to life. Unfortunately, I found it difficult to get the hang of it. I tried to focus on one sport, i.e. diving and read the directions, followed the on screen directions, and then attempted it. After 30 minutes, I was frustrated and ready to give up.
Thinking it was maybe just that one event, I tried one of the running events. I got the same result. Perhaps I was not following both directions correctly, but I found myself getting more and more frustrated with this game.
I want to note that I am an avid runner and I keep in shape. Others have noted in their reviews that this gave them a great workout. I agree that it will give you a workout, but only attempting to learn how to do the event.
