Greatest game ever made

This is such an awesome game. We Ski is fun and entertaining. There are so many activities to get involved in when playing that it's almost too hard to put the controller down! There aren't a whole bunch of courses to choose from but honestly, I don't care. It's basically the same as a real ski resort would be. There are lots of hidden stuff. What's great is that skiing is something everyone can enjoy. The fact that this is compatible with the Wii Balance Board is great, makes for a much more fun way of steering! I say don't hesitate to go out to your nearest Best Buy and grab your copy because it's cheap but completely worth it!

I feel completely imersed in the experience. The challenges and tricks are done the same way you would on a real slope. The interaction with the computer generated characters is remarkeable. I really enjoy being able to use it with the Wii Fit Board. Although it looks as though there are only 7 different runs , the ability to explore thee areas is pretty boundless. be sure totalk to other characters in the experience toenhance your chalenges. I am as far from a video game person as there is, but I find myself compelled to play this game. I only hope they add additional ski areas and make a larger mountain.

We have the balance board and it is amazingly sensitive and responsive to the shifting of your weight. Although, I first played the game without the board and it was just as fun. It is a little challenging, but not overly difficult, which makes if very fun for everyone. They have a lot of choices of characters, clothing and gear, and as an extra bonus, you can use your personal Mii character. I would highly recommend this game, especially if you have or are going to get the balance board. I hope they make more games for the balance board, perhaps water skiing or snowboarding would be fun.

This game was easy for anyone to pick up and play even if you have not gone skiing before. It has a ski school feature that goes through the moves and then lets you ski on slopes against people or communicate with others. you can even chose the outfit you want your skier to be in.

I love this game and play it with my neighbor all the time. I found out about it through my friend and also found out that you can use the wii balance board, which is just another bonus. It is actually really funny at times and adventurous. I'm excited to try the balance board.
