Almost Perfect- Having the balance board is a must! (Jmw, Florida, 2008-11-30)

I have been truly enjoying We Ski! Compared to the Wii Fit skiing, there are several nice additions that make this game alot of fun!
The mountain has several runs from easy to advanced. Once you get a hang of the use of the nunchuck and remote as your poles, you'll find the game to offer alot of different mini games- from search and rescue to delivery service on the mtn. The only downfall of the game is that unlike the wii fit skiing which allows for forward and backward use of the balance board to increase or decrease spped, We Skiing only allows for side to side motions with the balance board.

Confusing (Zildjiandg, 2008-11-24)

I had a very hard time understanding what to do with this game. I read the directions (which were also hard to understand) and wound up having fun not by constantly having my skiier bang into trees, people, etc - not the concept of the game. But since I couldn't get my skieer to do what I wanted it to do, which was ski, I had a blast just playing around with the controls and seeing my skiier bump into things. This is not as easy as the Nintendo games and therefore would not recommend it.

So much fun for the whole family (Lynn B. Bigelow, Cumming, GA USA, 2008-11-22)

I love skiing in the Wii Fit what little there is of it so when I saw this I grabbed it and my husband and I skiied and had a blast. I love that you have free reign of all the slopes and the whole area, you can choose to do quests or not, and get a bit of a workout too and that it uses the balance board. I even get a little motion sick, but not bad enough to not keep playing, on some of the slopes which shows how real it can feel at times. Great game. I do wish we could go in the buildings or earn money to buy outfits and gear rather than earn stars and gear but that doesn't take away from the fun.

The kids LOVE this game (ChipnHolly, United States, 2008-11-16)

Our 4,6 and 8yr olds love this game. Especially our 4 and 8yr olds. The only annoying part is that if there is multiple players and one player wants to talk to a person on the game the whole screen shows the conversation so the other players have to wait while the one person is getting his skiiing instructions. but in regular skiiing if there are four players the screen has 4 boxes a skiier in each.

Great ski game for entire family (Bernard Hoefsmit, New Jersey, 2008-11-15)

My daughters gave me this game for my birthday. Having played ski games on other game computers I did not think to highly of it. However after starting the game, my daughters who are 6 and 9 really got into it.

Being a typical gamer, I did not read the manuals or practiced in the training sessions. So after a 2 hours of aimless skiing around the park, we figured out what the purpose of the game was. After that we really got into the game completing all challenges over the next couple of weeks.

We Skii provides about 25-30 hours of game fun with a wide variety of great activities. My 6 year old was able to join the fun as much as the rest of the family. The graphics are good and the motions with the Wii gives you a decent idea how the various ski positions are executed.

I would have loved to see a multi player version of this game so you can race against other people around the world.

A great family game for skiers and non-skiers. My daughters are already excited about this years ski season.
