Family Ski

Good fun but does not utlise the balance board as well as wii fit. Its just used for side to side movement unlike the skiing bit of wii fit which uses forward and backward movement too. It definatly feels like the board has been added as an after thought. Fun but in a limited way!

I love this game, it's really good fun and I really like the way there are a number of different types of runs for you to try and master. From beginner slopes to super fast slopes to slopes you have to do jumps and tricks, there are lots of different activities to keep you interested.

I am also pleased that you have to interact using the remote and nunchuk, you don't just sit there pressing buttons you actually have to move (mainly your arms) around to make you player ski.

There are characters you can chose and then you can mold them into an appearance that suits you. Alternatively you can use your wii mii although they cannot wear hats or goggles.

Each slope has a grading system and you have to do a certain number of things on the run to get the higher grade (you are shown your grade at the start of the slope and then again at the end where you have the chance to press the A button to see where you can improve if necessary) The better the grades you get, the more points you will receive which in turn unlock extra items your skier can wear from the ski shop.

The game can utilise the balance board although I don't have one and I have been able to play the game just fine.

I highly recommend this game for people wanting to play alone or with friends and/or family.

totally edicted, nintendo win again, what a brilliant game,i cant leave this alone,another fantastic concept along with wii fit,how much better can it get.all i can say is wow wow wow

a really fun game. controls are very responsive and graphics are pretty ok too well worth buying especially if you have a few friends or family round its really good fun.

As soon as I began, I remembered quickly the feeling of sliding on the tracks or even between the trees, on long snowy paths on the mountain.... On top of that, you meet people on the resort that propose you some games like race, challenges, new jump tricks or the best: the exploration of the resort to discover a track hidden on the map (wow). I do not have the balance board but I can ensure that the feelings are really there with the wiimote and the nunchuk.
