Fun:
There are so many great games for the Wii and they have been selling so well that it has attracted less reputable companies to throw together crap as fast as they can in order to get in on the action. This is one of those games.
Right when we started playing the poor quality of the menus and navigation were a warning of the bad gameplay that was to come. We started with basketball (a game of HORSE) but there were no indicators of aiming or how hard you needed to 'throw' the ball. It seemed like it was completely random. Next was horseshoes, which suffered from the same problems. We tried two more minigames before immediately taking it back to the store for a refund which, surprisingly, we got.
This game is horrible. Nintendo would do well to at least require some minimal level of quality screening before they allow game developers to use their branding.
Please don't buy this.

Fun:
Our family loves Wii Sports and hoped that Summer Sports Paradise Island would deliver similar fun and exercise, but we were sadly disappointed. First up was Badminton where the view starts from behind the server, and then switches to a single-screen distant aerial view (or the same camera angle you started at from the serving side) where one feels little involvement in the action and has minimal apparent control over returns.
Volleyball is similarly boring, and also features bizarre design oversights like servers that appear to miss the ball completely, yet still send it over the net. In most, if not all of the games, one gets precious little sense that what you do with the Wii Remote makes that much difference in your success. Forget the curve balls in bowling, placed shots in tennis, stroke control in golf, etc., that you are used to with the excellent Wii Sports package.
The interface is somewhat cumbersome, and ridiculously long transitions during game play detract from the action (for example, between every point in Badminton you must watch the players saunter to their positions, then enjoy a full blue screen with the game logo, and finally return to the court, where you now have to press A before serving!).
The overall sense one gets with this package is that insufficient development funds were allocated for the project, leaving the consumer with a game that feels like it hit the market a year or two before the far superior Wii Sports.

Fun:
I just got my WII system and I love it. I have tried many games out and have been very happy, but this game is AWFUL!!! On golf you can't control the swing or the speed of the ball and horseshoes I couldn't even get close... Graphics are good but not enough for me to keep the game. I went back to the store and sold it back to them the very next day.

1 star too many
Terrible game! If I could have given it less than one star, I would have. Huge waste of money no matter how cheap you find it!

Horrid
I can't stand this game, the mechanics are terrible, the graphics are shoddy, and the music makes my ears bleed.
