 Poor Game August 25, 2008
0 out of 5 found this review helpful
This game is so boring. There is little to keep your attention. I would not spend any money on it.
Better then most mini sport game titles August 19, 2008

This game shows it's commitment w/overall intuitive controls considering the restraint & the best idea: as little players as possible & when there's only 2, you control them both, different levels of play (have to be unlocked through play) There is a skill point system overall tally for each of the 6 sports to earn you to higher difficulties & stickers like awards like birdie blitz & soaring eagle for disc golf, palms of steel for volleyball, long ranger for soccer, enforcer for bocce (hitting the jack). You can decide left/right handed, good amount of customization of your characters. Each time win, they do an old school 90s dance, one even looks like from Rerun from the show What's Happening since none of the players speak. The only sounds are boring background looped music beat & cheering crowd which helps a lot. There are also sounds from the remote, say every time you hit the volleyball. You can control how many points/goals to win a game, the length of time of a game for all the games & other options.
Volleyball - you control both players on your team, good control, good timing, one of the best volleyball on wii considering the constraint of control, how hard you swing actually makes a difference.
Disc golf - good controls, good aim, 3 different ways to throw, painfully dull courses Super monkey ball's disc golf has better course.
Bocce - good control/aim, how hard you swing makes no difference, much faster & more interesting then slow moving shuffleboard on game party.
Cricket - like baseball on wii sports, good controls, I had no problems, how hard you swing makes a difference, I found it pretty good, one of the best & not too slow watching the players move on their own after you throw/bowl or at bat.
Football - hard to learn control scheme since not as intuitive, little buggy as well, though great idea only 2 players per game & cute
Soccer - four players on each team, you don't control the goalie, just a lot of passing & deciding when to shoot for goal, boring.
None of these will get your heart rate going like wii sports except on a arcade game level, though for sports games, I did enjoy them more then all the other sport only mini game titles (except wii sports) (I'm not into watching professional sports.)
I think this title went in the right direction, but needed more polishing & new wii motion plus should really help things next year for the new titles. Adding the wii board as an option for sport games should also be an option.
 Lotsa Fun July 31, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This game is a lot of fun. The reason I don't give it 5 stars is that some of the moves are limited/strange and don't seem to correspond with what is happening on the screen. Also, it was difficult to choose players and make teams. Once all that is figured out, it's a lot of fun. The games are easy to learn for the most part so younger players can pick up the moves quickly.
 Big Beach Sports for Wii July 30, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The Wii Big Beach Sports game has given us many hours of entertainment. We love football and soccer the most. We still haven't quite figured out the rules for Cricket! The Disc Golf is a little to easy. Overall I'm sure most family's will find this game enjoyable.
 Okay if you just want to sit on the couch July 23, 2008

We rented this game before buying, and I'm really glad that we did. Our family really loves playing live volleyball and other beach games. We were pretty disappointed.
First we went to create our character. The graphics for creating the character made it difficult to understand what menu items went to what.
After taking forever to create our character (which, no matter what you did to it looked like a fat, football player), we headed to the volleyball game. The instructions were adequate. We started the game, and it was okay, but not very physical. It was probably the best of all the games we tried. The music that played throughout had a beach feel, but became verrry annoying. We ended up turning the volume way down.
We tried cricket. Aside from not understanding the rules because, lets face it, I'm American, I had a big problem with the game responding to my commands. I would swing, and the game would not recognize my swing. I would throw (excuse me, bowl) the ball and the game would not respond very well. Compared with Wii Sports golf and baseball, cricket was very slow and clunky.
We had the same type of experience with the frisbee golf.
We tried soccer. I think soccer would be a fun arcade-type game. It has a lot of different moves that seemed fun with the remote, but it was not much of a physical game.
We were so frustrated with the other games that we didn't even try them.
Overall I would say that the games weren't realistic, but I could understand how an experienced gamer might like some of the games for arcade-type play. We wanted physical activity. I think we'll buy a different game for that.
