Stay away. None of the games on this disc are worth your time. They're impossible to control and just plain not fun. My kids were bored within 5 minutes.

You're always forced to play as if 4 players are playing and 90% of the time (because the controls don't work properly) you can't even see yourself on the screen.

I completely agree with everything the other 2 reviewers wrote. This game is terrible! We bought one for ourselves and one for a gift and took them both back after Christmas. (Buy your Wii games at Kohl's, and you can do that.)

We're a couple of 40-somethings with no kids and we have pretty low expectations as far as Wii games are concerned. We just like something fun to play on our own, or when friends come over. If you have fewer than 4 players, this game forces you to play against the computer and it beats you every time. I don't expect to beat the computer the first time, but it beats you so badly that you're not even on the screen anymore and can't have time to learn how to play.

The package says it has 30 games in it, but we never could even figure out how to access 15 of them. Of the 15 we played, we were only marginally successful at one of them. This was a complete disappointment. I would give it NO stars if Amazon would let me!

I agree with the other posters as well. This game is horrible.

- It's basically impossible to beat the computer even after practicing a reasonable amount.
- The in game 'camera' jumps around as they stated and you can't even see your character.
- You don't get all 30 games right away, you have to unlock them by beating the other games from what I can guess. You really don't know because it doesn't seem to come with any useful instruction booklet or in game information.
- The computer characters' voices are annoying,
- Poor graphics
- The gameplay is anything but fun.

I wouldn't play this game for free if it was given to me. I would even hesitate to play it if I was paid. Stay away and don't waste your money.

We received this game as a Christmas present. It might be OK if you have four players, but with two players the game plays the third and fourth players and they are extremely difficult (if not impossible) to beat. The controls are flaky and non-intuitive. We never could figure out how to make some of the movements and some games didn't respond at all the to required buttons. If your character lags too far behind, it goes off the screen so you have no way of seeing your progress. Half the games are locked and we'll ever win enough games to find out what they are. All in all, not any fun. I'm glad I didn't pay for this as it will only gather dust until I decide to toss it.

My mom got me this game as a fun thing to play at target when I had looked a lots of stores for a game that only exists on amazon and youtube. So I staarted playing it and the first thing I noticed was the game stunk. I rarely have anyone to play the game with, so I haven't tried the multiplayer, but I wrote this review after playig the game for 2 minutes so I don't think it would do any good.
This game promises 30 games, but you only get twelve unless you unlock them but that's is impossible! Also when you get far behind you can't see yourself because the camera acts like you are watching the olympics and not playing a game and shows who is in first. Once I thought I had gotten better than fourth because of this stupid feature!
This game has controls that do absoloutly nothing but make you look like a crap head. And the camera problem makes that even worse.
Overal, if you are trying to throw your self esteem out a window, want to crack your t.v and wii in half,and destroy your pride this is the perfect game for you. If you aren't, which is probally a good thing,don't even think of PLAYING this game. If I was alowed I would either sue nintendo for making this junk, return the worthless junk, and give it a negative one billion stars, I would DON'T WASTE YOUR TWENTY BUCKS. Wish I would've read the reviews.

This game is absolutely terrible. I cannot figure out how to control anything and of the 30 games its advertised as, I can only get to 12. The instructions for how to play are no help and when you play against the computers they run ahead of you so that you can't even see yourself. After failing and having no fun with this game the first time I played, I decided to give it another shot. I still had no fun with it. The only thing it's good for is a good laugh at yourself at how stupid you look doing motions that don't get you anywhere. I wish I could return the game and get my $20 back. All it's doing now is collecting dust at the bottom of the pile.

I completely agree with everyone's one star review. I wouldn't even give this game to my worst enemy for FREE.
If I could have given it a ZERO, I would have also..No chance at all playing against the computer and it does NOT let you play just two people without the other 2 computer players...I think you would have to get two more people to your house, have them lose and lose in order to unlock anything in this game, and then you'd still have to play against the computer...NOT a FUN game at all, and NO INSTRUCTIONS on some of the stupid games, especially with the walking crabs? What the heck was that?
Don't waste a cent on this game.

Not a fan of this game AT ALL. I believe the only people who will get ANY enjoyment out of this game are a) people who got it for FREE b) people under the age of 15. Here are just SOME of the things that are wrong: Most of the games are REALLY close to pointless. Trying to figure out how to play each game is SUPER tiring. I STILL can't get the controller to work with some games....it uses NO common sense AT ALL! It says on the box that there are 30 games, but when you begin you only have access to about HALF of those. You apparently have to unlock the rest....which won't happen because you won't care after 10 minutes of playing this. Some of the games are over so quickly you don't even know what hit you. I get tired just thinking about it. Skip this one.

I usually read reviews on anything before buying when it is over $5 (figure under that if used atleast once haven't lost anything). Anytime I buy games I consider my 6 year old. This game is to hard to beat in order to add the other games even for me let alone my 6 year old that it is going to gain dust sitting on the shelf. She gets frustrated when we are both playing because I am trying to shake the controller the way they state on the game but it doesn't work. the one game where you are supposed to climb a vine hold a + b and shake it up and down you can hold and shake your arm off and it only moves once. I have only been able to win one game and that is the obstical race only because I am cordinated enough to shake push a and b when needed (multitasking is what I did to raise 3 girls) but someone like my 6 year old she has to stop one to do the next and it slows down and she loses every time. Now I find out from a true gamer that you can go on something called cheat codes and get a code to beat the game. We are just a family that wants to have fun but in order to play all the games that I wanted when I bought this game I guess i will give it a try. Will check reviews again before I buy another game.

I bought this game for my 6 year old daughter and she loves it! The game was in excellent shape and I received in within days of ordering it - thank you!
