Nintendo Wii Fit Game Family Ski – Any Good?
Family Ski is the first Wii game to be specifically made for it’s Balance Board and is one of the releases which makes full use of the Wii Board peripheral. What’s it like though?
This gem of a game certainly caught my interest when I first read about it and particularly so when I watched a few video’s of it on various websites. Family Ski is the latest family-friendly franchise for the Wii with gameplay geared towards anyone from the age of under ten to anyone over the age of 80. It really is easy and you can instantly get to grips with it in no time.
This is a relaxed winter sports game and uses the motion controllers to allow players to ski with ease. It is undoubtedly a fun title which makes you want to get in there and do it now. It is not aggressive in it’s style at all, rather, it is a casual, sporting experience where you can take to the slopes at your own pace and decide for yourself what you’d like to do out of all the activities available to you at the Happy Ski Resort. With the use of the Wii-More, Nunchuk and Balance Board, skiing with Family Ski is an absolute piece of cake. If you think it’s not for you, you’re wrong – it is!
Skiing novices can easily learn the tricks and techniques at the local Ski School, including basic skills like Parallel Turns, Skating, and Crouching. Ski with your friends, family and colleagues hitting the slopes with up to 4 players to race, as you race through the slaloms, and traverse moguls as you make your way to the Stop In Lodge for some refreshment. Sounds like cool fun? It is.
