Looking for motivation to get off the couch and move!? Look no more . . . .
I don't even know where to begin with the review of this game. I am not an avid gamer. I am a 37 year old woman who loves to have fun. I took this game to a New Year's Eve party at my friends' house so that her 10 year old and her friends could play. They each got one turn before the adults took over. It was so much fun. We played mostly in party mode with four people. It was a blast. I wish we had footage of us dancing to Le Freak and the Austin Powers Theme! The only complaint I have isn't with the game, but with the room. We needed a little more room for the sensor to read all of our movements. The people in the middle performed better because of their location to the sensor bar (that's what I'm claiming anyway, because I came in 3rd or 4th many times and I was on the end!) If you are on the fence, jump over. Get this game. You and your kids will LOVE it. You don't need the balance board to enjoy the game, but it definitely adds a level of gut busting fun!

Excellent game for the target audience
If you are a serious gamer looking for a challenge, move on. You will complete all levels in this game in one afternoon and be terribly disappointed. If, however, you have a sense of humor and are in a family or party setting with mixed casual gamers and novices, you will find this an entertaining ice breaker that will get everyone up and moving.
We were happy to have this game at our house over the holidays. It kept our college-aged daughter entertained over many hour-long sessions of play, and there's still more for her to do. She enjoyed the music selections in the dance segments and got a kick out of shooting chickens and riding the slalom on her rump using the balance board. Her dad and I even had fun joining in a few times and did well enough to avoid total frustration - and for me, that's no easy feat! For that alone it deserves high marks; it can be so difficult to find a game where all ages and skill levels can enjoy it right out of the box.
I'd recommend this game highly to family and friends who are looking for something different and entertaining to do with their WII and get a little bit of exercise along the way, but NOT to serious gamers seeking extreme challenges that require hours of play to figure out and conquer. If you are the right audience, you will find this game just challenging enough to have fun and enjoy a few laughs and surprises along the way.

A game everyone will try- some controls can be hard
For starters this would be closer to a 5 star game if we hadn't already had a Glitch that crashed a game for us. And looking at past reviews it seems we are not alone in game glitches.
It is fun, and addicting.
I think people can find a little bit of everything in the mini-gmaes here.
A shooting gallery type game- dancing- driving, fighting, riding ECT....
My 8 year old has some problems with the driving game but he is slowly getting the hang of it- The lotto games drives me crazy.. It is a game that all of us have tried and enjoyed- ages 6 (probably a bit too hard for her right now) , 8 Mom and Dad!
