I am 33 and I love this game. I have always loved gymnastics and this game has everything. I get exercise, I get to watch gymnastics and play a game all at the same time. I find it easier to play with the balance board and great execrcise. I was using muscles I don't normally use and it was alot of standing/getting on and off the balance board to calibrate. You can compete in championships, create your own routines, play against Shawn and you can learn facts about gymnastics.
I can see this game being great for kids. Because there was nothing out like this when I was a kid I play it now :) I can see how it would be good for kids to play each other and you can unlock new hairstyles and leotards as incentive. I love this game! My favorite Wii game so far.

OK, so I have to admit, I was a bit hesitant when I bought this game for my little sister; as an ex-gymnast, the quality of gymnastics video games out there is abysmal, but I adore Shawn Johnson and decided to give it a try. I was very pleasantly surprised.
The moves are authentic, the graphics are about as good as Wii can get, and after reading some interviews Shawn did, I love that she was part of the process of making this game. A lot of the time, you expect that these celebrities have nothing to do with their branded products, but she actually had a lot of input on how this game together which makes me like this game even more. My little sister is now insisting on gymnastics lessons. :) If there's anyone who can inspire young girls, it's Shawn Johnson. Thanks for putting out such a great representation of a sport that means so much to me.

Was thinking of buying for thanksgiving fun time, but once I brought it home I thought what the heck. The kids can compete against each other and have not stopped playing since I brought it home.
Great game, not too difficult to get the hang of, but challenging as you want it to be. A real winner and great price.

I love this game. I am 26 and I play it all day long ( well when I am not working). It is great for exercise and so much fun to play. I love earning new leos! I am huge gymnastics fan, so it is about time they came out with something this awesome! I love Shawn Johnson!

I am a 19-year-old ex-gymnast who spotted this game in the store one day and was instantly intrigued. Back in the day, I had a Barbie gymnastics game for my PC, and ten years later, I liked the idea of playing another game that was perhaps similar to it. I immediately purchased this game a month ago, and I am more than pleased.
First off, to address the concerns of young children being bored or confused, I understand where these are coming from. However, this game is about reflexes and hand-eye coordination, something many young children lack for a while. I find this game pleasantly challenging (though in a month, I have beaten both career and quick play mode), and would expect young kids to find it very challenging. However, the game gets harder progressively so as kids get used to gameplay, they are once again challenged.
The moves are authentic, and despite gripes about graphics that other reviewers have voiced, I'm personally in favor of fun over beauty. I think the graphics are decent, as in, you can clearly see what the gymnast is doing. I'm not really looking for anything else other than that.
Overall, the game is addicting and simple fun. The controls are something you have to get used to at first, but the game walks you through them before you get to any serious competitions. Once you beat a few competitions, you can begin creating your own routines, and as you win more, you unlock new moves. The game keeps you on your toes, and often has you pumping your arms to give your gymnast power, so it's better than sitting stationary while playing a game.
Shawn comments during your routines, cheering you on when you score a "good" or "perfect", or reminding you to stay focused when you score a "bad".... Read more ›

My 10 year old daughter got this game for Christmas. Her favorite parts about the game are the uneven bar routines, being able to make her own routines, and unlocking new leotards when earning enough points. The graphics are pretty close to real. She was in gymnastics for 4 years, but she quit about 3 years ago. It was easy for her to learn to play the game but not so easy that she got bored with it. She doesn't have any other gymnastics games for comparison. She has fun playing,though, and said she thinks if you like gymnastics, you will like this game.

We got this game for my 7 year old's birthday. She loves gymnastics. The game is a huge hit. She and my 10 year old play it at every opportunity. The game involves using the Wii remote to run. They compete against Shawn Johnson and earn new leotards.

We finally bought a Wii platform for Christmas. Looking for games the family would enjoy (2 adults & 2 college age children) I came across this one. My daughter is a former gymnast so I thought she'd enjoy it...and I was right. It's a lot of fun. I think it helps to have some gymnastics experience (she can name all the skills, something I wish the game did) but even having been only a gymnastics mom I caught on pretty well too.
The graphics are not nearly as good as some of the other Wii games we have, and it is all to clear that the person(s) responsible for the text is not fluent in English. "Trainings"??? "High note" vs. "High score?" When the language you are programming for is not your own it is wise to have someone else at least review any text display. The navigation is also a little odd at times. But overall, it the game really is a lot of fun!

Disappointing!
My daughter really LOVES gymnastics ever since she was a toddler! So I thought she would enjoy this game - she found it boring and not very challenging at all - perhaps she was too... Read more

How can you do gymnastics while holding a remote?
Seemed like a good idea, but got it for the floor exercises, which are impossible to do while holding the remote. Read more

Good game, quite difficult but very realistic
Good Gymnastic game, quite difficult at the beginning, but very realistic. It's the first game really gymnastic-oriented. Efficient shipping and suitable packaging. Read more
