SynopsisHave a pleasant stay at the Paradise Island Resort, a lush, tropical retreat. It's time for some relaxing recreation in the sunny, balmy weather. Perhaps a rousing game of lawn darts? How about a quiet round of croquet? Whatever your fancy, Summer Sports: Paradise Island has a way to entertain even the most weary guest.During your stay, you'll enjoy seven thrilling sports such as basketball, badminton and even mini golf. Use authentic motions for each sport as if you were actually playing on the court or at the course. For instance, you'll set and spike the volleyball just like you would at the net. It's easy with the intuitive gestures of the Wii Remote. Demonstrate your killer forehand and putt your way to mini golf notoriety in incredibly fun and friendly competitions.

Games are fun

Overall, I like this game. The only thing I don't understand or like about it is that they included two basketball games that appear to be very similar to each other. I think they could have included some other type of game that would have been more fun.
Lawn darts is fun. It can be a challenge to get the hang of it but once you do it is lots of fun.
Horseshoe is alot of fun as well, but takes some skill to master.
Decent variety of games to play. But game play can be a little slow at times.
What's great about it: good variety of games
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great addition to all the Sims products. The graphics are good. There are lots of interesting things to do and build in the game. The only part of it that I don't like is that it is so limited in what you can build on the island. If you want something new you often have to destroy what you already have to make space for it. Kind of frustrating at times because of that. And I am disappointed that it is only single player and only have one save file. It would be nice to be able to play against others, either on the same console or on the internet. It will suck you in and before you know it hours and hours will have passed.
What's great about it: graphics are good
What's not so great: only one save file, single player only

It's fun to play against other's in this game. Can be a challenge to get through some of the games. Some recipes are harder to understand than others but once you figure them out it gets easier. The controls aren't always the most accurate, which can be frustrating when your competing against someone or racing the clock. But it does get you moving and shaking!
What's great about it: fun to play in multiplayer
What's not so great: controls can be difficult and not always accurate, graphics are just ok

Much better to play in multiplayer than in single mode. Games are fun but some are overly challenging for the type of game it is.
Looks like it should be a kids game but it's not. It's great for the whole family, and is probably more understandable and geared towards adults.
Takes a while to get through and unlock all the different levels of the playground.
What's great about it: fun games
What's not so great: some games harder than you'd think

I found this game hard to control and get the hang of what to do. Certainly not a game that you would spend hours and hours playing. But it can be fun for a short time or at parties.
Worth the money, but it wouldn't be worth it if it were any higher priced.
What's great about it: great party games
What's not so great: hard to control

Brace yourself for a new set of tricks, tracks and ways to race. The included Wii Wheel transforms your Wii Remote into a steering wheel that feels great in your hands, while the Wii Remote and Nunchuk controller supply a classic control style for veterans of this racing series. Either way, you'll be able to perform impressive speed-boosting tricks, such as jumps, flips and wheelies.You can zip through brand-new tracks and arenas, and also tour classic courses from Super Mario Kart, Mario Kart 64, Mario Kart: Super Circuit, Mario Kart: Double Dash and Mario Kart DS. There are even options for trying all-new motorbikes that have their own special tricks and techniques. The action gets fast, furious and funny when you race in Mario Kart Wii.

I never was a Mario fan at all. Then we got the new Mario Kart for the Wii! It's great! The courses are fun yet challenging, love the variety in car options and character options. Even my 4 yo loves to play this! Fun for all ages. Overall, an awesome game and a definite must have to your Wii game collection! But beware, you will get sucked in and time will escape you before you know it!
What's great about it: new courses, powerups
What's not so great: addictive
