 We Ski and Love It! May 19, 2008
9 out of 9 found this review helpful
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.
We Ski + Wii Fit Board = Lots of Fun May 23, 2008

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.
Great fun especially with Wii Fit board August 15, 2008

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.
My favorite Wii game! May 22, 2008
8 out of 9 found this review helpful
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!
We Ski: 2 Generations September 6, 2008
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
My son and I get very different things out of this game. My son is a 11 year-old competitive gamer and he enjoys "beating the game" by doing all the activities and winning all the races. I am getting something different from the game. I am enjoying taking my time, seeing all the sights (the scenery in the game is actually quite beautiful), and relaxing. I have a very stressful job, and after a frustrating day, I can get on my balance board "ski" around and I can feel my blood pressure go down immediately.
