Good Sequel

I remember last year when We Ski came out and it was pretty cool. It had a few maps that you could ride on and a few other small things that were kind of cool. It didnt have snowboarding though. From the title you can notice that this one has both which is really nice. Some other things this has is a School mode which basically tells you the controls and everything. It has some new things you can do as side missions which is nice since the last game had pretty boring side missions. The graphics are pretty basic Wii graphics. The controls are good and identical to the last game besides the snowboard addition. You can now listen to some songs while snowboarding down the mountain which is really nice since you cant play music while in everything like the Xbox. But the music is, well, not the typical music you would listen to, but i guess its better than nothing. This still doesnt have online for some reason which doesnt make sense, but you can still play with somebody else on the same TV. So overall this game is really good sequel to the last one and is a good buy. If you already have the last one, unless you have some extra spending money, i suggest you dont get this one and just rent it. Try it out today.
a blast to play!

this game was a lot of fun to play! especially down the mountain with no trails and you had cut your own trail make for an exciting run.
the game has average graphics but what really makes it stand out is the support for the balance board the controls being easy to get a hang of. this is one game that needs to be played with the balance board which lets you get immersed in game play. Also the incorporation of the mi's and all the fun mini games make this tittle very fun and gives it re playability.
it definitely a game to have in your library if you have the balance board or like games with some freestyle fun

"Snowboard" doesn't add enough

When We Ski came out, one of the biggest complaints was that the game makers could've added snowboarding and made a much better game.
Well, they did just that with We Ski and Snowboard, and I'm not sure where that improvement is.
True, skiing and snowboarding down the mountain is a lot of fun, and there's the same speed, mogul and gate racing as in the original, but there's nothing here that I haven't seen in We Ski.
In Enjoy the Resort mode, you ski or snowboard around a mountain. You also meet up with several people at the bottom of the mountain.
Some of them have tasks for you to perform. From delivering food to picking things up to stopping within a circle. Each task has ten stages in it.
Problem is, once I finished Stage One of particular task, I had no inclination to move on to Stage Two - no matter what the task was.
Even after finishing all ten stages of a task, I felt the reward was flat an uninspired.
You can also compete against the AI in Competition Mode, but this is exactly the same as We Ski.
A saving grace is that you can do all these modes using multiplayer. It's always more fun to have other players (up to four) to tag along on the ski trip.
But the presentation of We Ski leaves a lot to be desired. RENT IT.
