My Take on the Game

I have tried a number of WII games since we got our WII and have come to find that some games are better than others. This game, one of the Family Fun series of games was a bit challenging at first to get the hang of. I came to find that the controls and directions for the use of the controls were not the easiest to use for me, let alone my kids. There were a few games though that I was able to figure out, and I then was able to teach my children more about how to use them.

The game's graphics are not as vivid as some other games as I have tried, but I was impressed at the number of fitness activities that were available. I mean, where else can you get 30 games for less than $20. I didn't like that some of the games were locked within the game and you had to figure out how to unlock them as you went along, it would have been nice to instead be able to have all of them unlocked from the beginning.

Also, when the game says fitness, you really won't break a sweat, as in some fitness games, but they were still enjoyable and fun (once I did figure out the controls).

If you would like to have this game within your own home you can find it on Amazon!
