 What should have been fun was a snooze fest April 14, 2010

Game has weak events with in it and takes forever to load. Graphics are nice but not great. Music gets annoying and the gameplay is weak at best.
 many games to play March 28, 2010

I had read the reviews about the winter olympics xbox game so I was happy to have purchased this game instead. my son loved to play all the different sports that were a part of the winter games, as opposed to just one or two.
Winter Sports 2: Another infamous wii party game? August 18, 2009

Winter Sports 2: The Ultimate Challenge is a game that takes you through being a virtual Olympian as you go through many different events. I got this game using a pre-birthda gift card I got, and I bought it mainly because I love Sport games for the wii. The first thing I noticed was that the balance board controls were impossible for me, but things were okay with the remote and nunchuck. I must say, the graphics aren't amazing, the gamesplay CAN be shallow, and the commentary is cheesy, but overall I'm glad I got it. Here is a run down of the events:
Downhill skiing and Super G: 5/5: These are two of my favorite events and definitely my favorite skiing events. The timing and presicion you need to get the best time is amazingly depicted in this part of the game.
Slalom and Giant Slalom skiing: 3/5: it's not the stength of this game for many reasons. A few being that the rules are a little too strict (a disqualification for missing a couple of gates) but with practice I'm sure that it will bemore fun for me and you if you buy this game.
Ski Jumping: 2/5: I really don't understand the mechanics of this one, and quite a few don't either. I try to stay away from these when I can.
Snowboarding Halfpipe: 3/5: One of the more boring games in here, mainly because it's very repetitive.
Bobsledding, Luge, Skeleton: 4/5: These are the triplet games. I call them that because they are all the same styles of gameplay. But it's a good thing that that style of gameplay is fun.
Speed Skating: 5/5: very entertaining and unique style of gameplay. One of my favorites.
Curling: 2/5: I've never liked this game in general, so I tried it once and was done.
Biathon: 5/5: A very fun game that brings a real and exciting feel to the table. There are button to make you glide downhill and the shooting part is very well done.
Figure Skating: 4/5: A surprisingly good event, very similar to most dancing games on the wii. But somehow it still feels fresh.

Thought this game looked fun with all of the different sporting options. Basically I was looking for something that would expand Wii Sports. This is not it. If only used with a controller the game is very boring and basic overall. I have not yet played it with a wii fit board which might transform the game, but was so turned off by the game prior to owning the wii balance board that I have yet to venture to play it again.
Give it a try with the wii board, but it is not worth the money without it.

This is a fun game, but isn't easily mastered. Difficulty understsanding what moves on the Wii Balance Board to do to make the game go smoothly.
