We Ski and Love It!

We Ski is a game anyone can play, yet is challenging enough so you can hone you skiing skills and still be challenged. I use We Ski without the balance board and it is still an impressive, fun game (can't wait to get the balance board, looks to be a very promising combo with this game). Graphics are excellent...reminds me of SSX on tour but with better control, as the movements of the Wiimote and the nunchuck are more natural. Yes, you can also perform aerial stunts, jumps, moguls, and lean forward for downhill racing (as the wind rushes by as you get faster). My wife who is a beginner skier picked this up quickly and allows us to race together or to free ski together, even let us ride the lift up togther! Many small intricacies are thought out in this game. Either you can go directly to the top of the mountain via the menu, or you can choose to ride the lift up to the top. When you are riding the chairlift, the Wiimote vibrates as you pass over the chair lift tower (very clever!). Also, you can ski at night with fireworks at the base of the mountain and stars in the sky; very cool. The only thing that I would inprove upon with this game is I wish there was more than one mountain to ski at! Bottom line, I would definitely recommend Wii Ski to anyone.

Great Family Game and Great for Wii balance board

I bought this game only because i got 10 off when i bought Wii Fit. After using the balance board with this game I'm glad i got it. I haven't been skiing in a couple of years but this game brought back so many memory's like i was really skiing. Another great thing about this game is that you can ski with friends and family, using the Wii remote and numchuck. its not just racing like you might think, its a whole ski mountain you and family and friends can explore. If you don't believe me just give it a chance i think you too will be amazed.

My favorite Wii game!

I don't have much to add to the last review. This game is incredible. I love that you can play using your own Mii's. I started skiing at 2 years old and am 39 now and I thought this was very realistic! I love how you can ride the ski lift and scan around as you ride the ski lift for a panoramic view of the mountains. The night skiing is incredible. It nice to be able to just ski when you want to or you can interact with other skiers who may challenge you to a race or ask you to do different favors for them. Also I just got the Wii fit game yesterday and playing this game using the balance board increases the real feel of the game! This is a must have for wii owners! Also I almost forgot my favorite feature of the game is the photo album which you can post on the message board for other wii friends to see. There are several scenes around the mountain to start with and you unlock more as you play, and there are over 30 poses to choose from. My favorite is a photo of my husband, myself and our 2 daughters mii's in the natural spring! I may print it out and frame it! I can't wait for We golf!

Great game

I have been playing this game with the remote for almost a week now and have loved it. Up to 4 players, limited not only by remote but also numchuck. This is the only game I own that has required the use of 4 numchucks and I only have 2, so for now its just a 2-player game. I have never been able to ski but have always wanted to and I love this game. I am now playing it with the balance board and it makes the game that much more fun. Do note that only one player can play when the balance board is in use. It is a blast being able to shift from side to side and actually move the direction you lean. Great price, great game. This game is a lot more fun and much better than the two ski activities that come with the board. Free skate nine course and get rated on them, and compete in races, salom, search and rescue, and much more.

We Ski + Wii Fit Board = Lots of Fun

I bought We Ski about a week ago and I played it a few times and I liked it. I got Wii Fit on Wednesday and finally had a chance last night to hook it up and play We Ski with the board. What a difference the board makes. I feel it makes the game alot more challanging. For "others" looking for a simulation type game your not going to get it here. This game is arcade-ish and lots of fun. only played with the board an hour or so but I do like it better than playing with just the controller. Dont get me wrong it's fun with the controller and the chuck but the board makes it BETTER! If you have Wii Fit go and buy We Ski you wont be dissapointed. If you dont have Wii Fit buy it anyways so when you do get one it will make the game alot more enjoyable than it already is. With freestyle, racing and a lot of mini types games the games delivers. Go give it a shot today.

Ski to have lots of fun

The truth is that it is very enterteining, initially it is difficult to learn a bit the movements, but then it is very enterteining, especially if you use the wii balance board. in way multiplayer is very enterteining and also it helps yourself to do exercise for the arms :)
The graphs are very nice and the speed sensation when you manage to reach something of speed is very good and helps that the control should vibrate. Always, i wanted to play a game of these without having to move only joysticks and buttons...

Wii Ski is LOTS OF FUN!

I think this is one of the most fun Wii games on the market today. Up to 4 players can compete skiing down the various mountain trails. You can even use the Wii balance board if you wish. Very pleased with this game and highly recommend it to anyone.

Great fun especially with Wii Fit board

This game is awesome, especially with Wii Fit balance board. And even though as one of the reviewers mentioned that it does not support acceleration and decceleration by allowing player to shift body weight forward and back - you can get going pretty fast. Fast enough that it gets pretty challenging to stay on course. It is important that you go through ski school first to learn all the controls though. I suspect that the reviewer who was commenting on slow speed of the game did not learn how to tuck in the ski poles and assume the racing position that quickly accelerates you a very fast pace.

I can't wait to hook this thing up to my projector and ski on the big movie screen. That should feel a lot more real than on a regular TV screen.

Great With or Without the Wii Fit Balance Board

This game is a lot of fun. I got it before Wii Fit so I started playing using the regular controls. There is lots of stuff going on in this game, lots of side stories and activities that you only get to if you talk to the characters in the game. It almost feels like the real thing!

The Wii fit balance board enhances the game because it gets your whole body into it, just like real skiiing. I have an 8 year old that loves it and does really well.

You use your Mii's in this game which is always a plus! It's probably one of my favorite games, right up there with Wii Fit!

Wii Love Skiing!

I received this game for MOthers Day and Wii LOVE IT!!! The graphics are great and i do feel like I"m actually skiing. I"m looking forward to trying it with the Wii Fit Board. All you need to do is crank up the airconditioner and get our your stocking cap..then your ready to hit the slopes. This is my favorite Wii game so far ( and my husband enjoys it too). Cannot go wrong with this one!!! HAPPY SKIING!!
