Great Fun!
I actually bought this game because in the past months I had actually wondered what a pro lumberjack competition is like. I saw one at Sea World when I was a kid and I am fascinated by the out of the ordinary. So, I bought partially for the novelty, partially for the great price of only $30, and also, I figured there would probably be some good exercise. I was right on all accounts and this ended up far exceeding the novelty expectations and ended up being, well...a hoot.

It really does a great job of creating an environment where you feel like you're at a county fair or somewhere deep in the South or backwoods. The games are quick and there is plenty of variety to keep it interesting, and you use arm motions and your feet, so some of the competitions actually left me winded. I felt like I was getting as much exercise as my Wii Fit but this was so much fun it didn't feel like exercise, it felt more like I was competing. I got so into it I raised my hands in victory a couple times when I dusted the competition.

I am not a huge game person and I only intended to play this for about 10 minutes to try it out and ended up playing it for an hour and wishing I could have played it for longer. This would definitely be fun to play against other people but a lot of fun, also, by yourself. And you also have the option of playing it without a balance board if you don't have one. It gives you instructions of how to use just the remote or the remote with the balance board.

I am curious about the GoPlay Circus game now, though, that seems like it might be more balance and less movement, which I like more of in a game than just mashing buttons. I also hope they create more of these environmental type games where you actually feel like your in a different world, culture, or environment. It's kinda fun to feel like you're slipping into the life of someone in another part of the country.

Awesome & Hilarious
This game is freaking hilarious!! We bought it and started playing...4 hours later we finally forced ourselves to stop. You saw logs, chop logs, throw axes, do water log rolling, and tree climbing! It is a blast and provides great entertainment watching everyone act like a lumberjack! I HIGHLY recommend this game...it was worth every penny!
