Customer Rating:      Summary: Absolute tripe Comment: This is possibley the worst game to come the the Nintendo Wii Console (Includes Wii Sports) and one can't compare it with any good titles such as Wii Play (includes Wiimote controller) (Wii), Wii Fit (Wii) or Super Mario Galaxy (Wii) for 5 simple reasons. 1) the game takes long periods of time to load... 2)... and when its done the load is not worth the wait. 3)it also only offers a few minigames with absolute no replay value. 4) the controls are unrealistic and finally 5) the graphics are simply pathetic. Unfortunately ths game sinks very low in the 'good games' market, lower infact than Carnival: Fun Fair Games (Wii) which is yet another dismal game. one should wait for a new upcoming sequel to the wii sports franchise called wii sports: resort, and trust me, it will be worth the wait.
Customer Rating:      Summary: OMG! Comment: Everywere i go this game is sold out because mums but it for there 5 year old kids. and i dont see how because this game sucks, wii sports is more fun, and i can highly recommend sports island that is 10 times better than this.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Can't believe it Comment: I am so disappointed with this game!
1.) Does not support the Mii! what is the point then??
2.) Really outdated graphics, I thought it would at least match Wii sports.
3.) Terrible timing, does not seem to register 40% of the movements.
4.) Poor camera angles make it difficult to play as well, especially for the volleyball.
5.)Do we really need so many sub menu???
Overall, I am really sad that I can't give this more stars.
Try another game.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Don't waste your money buying this Comment: Possibly the worst game I have ever seen, I wasn't expecting much for 12 quid just average graphics and something playable. I don't mind poor graphics as long as the game has some of the wii's playability e.g. Wii Sports Tennis. I'm afraid this game lets down on all levels. Terrible graphics, bad menus, slow games which are constantly interrupted by the beach sports logo and annoying music. My advice is steer clear.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Awful Comment: This game is frankly rubbish.
Awful gameplay - completely unresponsive controls. I could get past the rubbish graphics and awful music which given the current standard of game design must have taken all of 5 minutes to cobble together, but the controls actually don't work. I lost count of the number of times the ball hit me in the face on volleyball as it didn't register my movement, or the lack of control on the golf and boules where you can't adjust the strength of shot, or cricket where you have to swing as the ball leaves the bowlers hand, and the slower you move your arm the faster the bowler bowls the ball (?!), or american football where you can hardly control anything and simply have to throw. The worst game of all however, is the 5 a side football, which is frankly the worst football game ever made. Sensible soccer on the NES was both better, more responsive and truer to life than this truly awful, uncontrollable, pointless, dreadful game.
I played it for around 2 hours and have now taken it to trade in and I got £6 for it. Which is £6 more than it is worth.
