Now that the game has come out and i have had the chance to play it it is simplee great fun. Especially if you have the wii board bu this is not a neccessity.
The game is simply brilliant, not to challenging or a big game, but just great fun. You can incorporate this game with the Wii Fit Board to pretend like you are actually skiing (by putting more pressure on one foot to turn like you would on the slopes) or you can simply you the wiimote and nunchuck.
There is a single player mode where you can compete in different events like over 14 different courses and different difficulties. Besides this there is a ski school mode to help you learn to ski, Centipede races, and a Search and Rescue mode. Along with this there is also lots of people on the slopes with add-on missions and tasks to do (e.g. finding their missing kids), as well as simply being up for a race.
There is also a multiplayer mode where you can compete with up to 4 of your friends. However it does lack the ability to play online but with all the different mii's around the runs there is plenty of people to race.
Additionally you can also race during the night, which is quite cool.

I got this yesterday and had a go with it last night - I am looking forward to testing it a bit more and then I will review. Good to hear that you are enjoying it, I thought it was fun too.

As stated previously. You need to review what something is like, not what you think it's going to be like.

Review of Nintendo Wii
Advantages: Balance board a great device, entertaining games for all, physical activity. Disadvantages: Wii Fit age a little suspect, balance board not for sitting on!
