5.0 out of 5 stars
My girlfriend and I got this game because we wanted to get some fun mini-games. We are in our mid-twenties and we found ourselves playing this game for hours. We finally beat 100 percent of the game after almost two weeks. The games are very addictive because the more you play it the more confident you feel that if you play one of the mini games just one more time you will surely break a new console, regional, national, or world record.
This videogame has pretty good variety. The key for some of the games is to shake the Wii remotes as fast as possible, while others look for how fast your reaction time is and how well you are able to time and control your moves. We found some of the games where you had to shake the remote as fast as possible physically demanding. We preferred the games that required good timing and control, like the longest burp, most dominoes toppled, the longest fingernails, land speed record, and longest bicycle jump.
Tips:
1. The game guide doesn't provide a good explanation of how the game works. It is a good idea to go to the official website for the game to see game hints and world standings.
2. Some of the games work well to have one person control the remote and the other control the nunchuck. We were able to get a world record of 115 (the maximum) for the arrow catching by having two people play.
3. When we first started playing the game we played against the pre-set records in the game before we connected the game to Wi-fi to get the REAL regional, national, and world records. This allowed us to collect more money to purchase the additional items that are needed to beat the game.
4. Most of the games follow the same pattern every time so the more you play it the more you are able to play it from memory. However, the land speed game is different every time.
Cons of the game:
1. One of the disappointing aspects is that there are some games that have a definite maximum score you can get and it is not impossible to obtain. We tied the world record on the arrow catching game along with four other people at this point in time.
2. One of the most annoying aspects of the game is the fact that you need a cord to connect the remote to the nunchuck. Some of the games require fast pedaling and the cord becomes tangled.
3. It would be beneficial if the game had a main screen where you could see a list of all of the tasks to complete to beat the game along with instructions on how to unlock the secret items. We still do not know any of the cheat codes to this game, but think that they are just to buy additional clothing items.
Overall, we are very satisfied with the decision to get this game. We have had many fun hours trying to set new records and we enjoyed seeing how we compared to other people throughout the world. Although there are some games we will never play again, there are a few that we will keep trying to master.

This game is so much fun! There are so many games in it ranging from smashing watermelons with your head, balancing a bus on your head, growing the world's longest fingernails, tatooing the most skin (more like coloring inside the lines quickly), sheering sheep, plucking turkeys, eating cockroaches, building skyscrapers, jumping on pogo sticks, throwing washing machines as far as you can, and so much more. Everyone who has played it has wanted it.
This game is so addictive. You want to play just one more time. As soon as you set a record, you want to immediately try to beat it. I really don't know how you conquer the game because you want to continue to beat your last score.
Each game has different levels of accomplishment: session winner, personal best, console record, regional record, national record, and world record. There is always something more you can achieve.
I 100% recommend this game for children and adults alike.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Customization - limited, but not bad, you have to get high scores to unlock more clothing which have nice textures or silly costumes. You give your country & region/state so if you get a high enough score, it goes on their site & shows world's, national & regional. Make sure you connect your wii to your wireless router to update or you'll make the world's record easily.
Gameplay - Graphics are as simplistic as possible, but there's a lot of details & great sounds effects. Menu system is a huge globe & running around it to find the 3D pop-up connected to that area. Each pop-up area has a set of 3 mini games, each of which 2 are locked, the 2nd costs 1,000 & the 3rd costs 5,000 points. The points awarded are stingy, even with high scores, you'll have to do some games several times to get enough to unlock the 2nd tier games & then run around again & play several times your favs to unlock the 3rd games.
Scoring - since everything is time based more/less, you can only get higher score going faster then your last time. There is a qualifying record & secret record to beat. I'm not sure what they do other then getting certificates in the same area as your customization area.
Games
Mt. Fiji (Japan) - furthest washing machine thrown (run, throw), fastest time to eat a plane (throw, point), longest wing walk (balance)
Great Wall (China) - most plungers thrown in a min (timing throws), longest bmx bike jump (pedal, jump/balance), fastest time to roll 5 cars (timing/motion)
Building (India) - most melons crushed in 1 minute (timing throws), highest jump pogo stick (timing jumps), most arrows cost 1 min (motion timing)
Pyramid (Egypt) - Most tattooed person (easy paint), fastest hurdles unicycle (pedal/jump), Longest Burp (steady pointing)
Big Ben (England) - tear 5 phone books (motion), Egg & spoon (balance), furthest human cannonball (motion, button/aim & jump)
Rocket (Florida) - highest asteroids game score (also like geometry wars), fastest space hopper (timed jumps), fastest rocket (motion, pointer)
Poncho (NE South America) - fastest eat 10 cockroaches (crawl also on face funny point/motion), fastest pop 100 balloons (motion), smelliest mammal (motion/timing)
Looks like AZ (Southern tip of Africa) - balance of car on head (balance), furthest toss of cow patty (spin/aim), most dominoes toppled (sensitive balance, timing button)
Mountain (Australia) - fastest sheep shearing (IR point/A), land speed (tilt steering), push a lorry (timing/motion)
Mountain (NV? AZ? In USA) - highest BMX jump (pedal/jump), longest motorcycle jump (same), fastest 50m tightrope (balance, buttons/walk)
Statue Liberty (NY/NJ) - fastest pull plane (point/motion), tallest building (Tetris-like), pluck turkeys (motion)
Statue - Easter Island - longest fingernails (pointer), paper airplane (balance steering), catch tonne fish
Since everything is time based, most games are VERY fast even if do well, though some are longer if do well & all are about timing, hand/eye coordination like the old school arcade games. The difficulty for hand/eye is enough even for adults. The only thinking involved is trying to figure out a better way to win.
This is NOT shovel-ware, there is a lot of attention to detail to backgrounds, sound effects, different uses of the wii & use of rumble feature. Some games had such great ideas, you wish there were more levels such as:
Little thinking: Tetris building, tattoo person, fastest rocket, cockroaches,
Almost or is 1st person feel: land racing, arrow catching, paper airplane
Steady hands: fingernails, longest burp, balance car, dominoes toppled, tightrope
Simple timing fun: melons crushed
though considering the limitations, teenagers/adults will get bored quick once everything is unlocked, but until then it's great fun & not as easy as they think to win. though they did a good job of making you play for a long time to unlock everything. I returned this blockbustr rental before I learned what the secret score attainment does though I did attain them. If anyone knows tell us.
the trailers are a bit lame, I'm tired of wii mini game ads that must involved being moronic, you can show fun w/o being so goofy/over the top that people will roll their eyes.

Better for kids
This game would be more fun for younger kids. There is not alot to it and it will not keep an adults attention for that long. But for kids under 12 it would prob be alot of fun.

Silly Waste of Time
Kind of silly, really. Instructions for each skill try to be clear but are often confusing. The records already set in the game are hard to beat for adults, much less little kids... Read more
