 Brilliant - but set it up correctly!! November 16, 2008

I have little to add to all the positive reviews - it is quite astonishing how well the atmosphere of a ski resort has been recreated. One point: the default set up for the skis does not reflect how skis work. ie pressure on right ski turns right; if you've even skied once you will know you need to transfer your weight to the left ski to turn right. It is possible to reverse the right/left settings to the correct ones. You need to press buttons 1 & 2 while paused. The pressure monitoring bar changes from blue (incorrect) to pink (correct). Its worth doing this - you don't want to have to unlearn bad skiing habits on a real mountain!
 fantastic fun but.... November 12, 2008

Family Ski is such a fun game. do not hesitate to buy this game if you love cruising blues and greens on your ski holiday. It's a really good family game. My daughter and I have spent hours just wizzing around the mountain and thats where the game is at it's best. The challenges are ok but for just feel of motion family ski in freeski mode is A+.
The biggest downfall is the size of the resort and it's a big downfall. If only they could make it more extensive then this game would be my favorite bar none.
A great fun way to while away time. October 30, 2008

This game is strangely appealing, and I have spent a fair bit of time playing this with my family.
It is easy to pickup, and even my 5yr old daughter can play it easy enough.
The freeplay mode is enjoyable and makes it far to easy to while away huge amounts of time. The various challenges and tasks on offer add a bit of variation, although just travelling the resort and skiing can be fun. The various competitions also add to the fun, making the game a pretty good package.
Ok, its nothing like real skiing, but the key is its fun and makes good use of the Wii controls.
It good when played alone, but its playing with family or friends that really bring it into its own.
You don't need to go skiing to have great fun on the slopes. September 13, 2008

Nothing needs to be said on this review, except buy it now.
Thanks for reading my review!
Cool for the summer July 29, 2008

Great to have another game that uses the Wii fit.
Have only just started to use this game, but so far the graphics are good and there is variation to just skiing down a slope. I can't see why this would not be fun for a variety of age groups, especially within a family.
