Summer Sports Review June 2, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
The game has a couple of different games. Volley ball is hard and not much fun due to the repetitiveness of the controls and play. The others (horseshoes, mini golf, lawn darts) are fun and just take a bit of getting use to. They are enjoyable. The game lacks the use of the miis and the control are at times sporadic. Overall i think its fun and it gives a little more diversity to the sports that you can play on the wii. I have been waiting a while for horseshoes and i am glad someone finally put it out. Granted the game could be better but take what ya can get for now.

There are so many great games for the Wii and they have been selling so well that it has attracted less reputable companies to throw together crap as fast as they can in order to get in on the action. This is one of those games.
Right when we started playing the poor quality of the menus and navigation were a warning of the bad gameplay that was to come. We started with basketball (a game of HORSE) but there were no indicators of aiming or how hard you needed to 'throw' the ball. It seemed like it was completely random. Next was horseshoes, which suffered from the same problems. We tried two more minigames before immediately taking it back to the store for a refund which, surprisingly, we got.
This game is horrible. Nintendo would do well to at least require some minimal level of quality screening before they allow game developers to use their branding.
Please don't buy this.

Could only be more fun if it had a few more games. Not as big of a challenge as Winter Sports, but it is still fun. I would recommend this game to anyone.
Surprised by the poor reviews! May 28, 2008

First thing is first. Obviously the retail price of this game should be an indicator that it is not going to be a greatest hit. Also, noting that this is a 3rd party game is a good indicator that perhaps it won't integrate great with your current Mii's.
If you prepare yourself for those 2 factors, this turns out to be a decent game. I have small children, 8, 5, and an infant. As a family, we found this game to be fun.
I liked it just as much as Carnival Games which got much better reviews.
If you are a big time gamer and like shooter games, you may not find this game that fun, however if you own a wii just to casually play around with the family, and you are looking to get Mom, Dad, Grandma, and Grandpa involved, this is a good party game.
What other game out there has horse shoes, Badminton, Lawn Darts, Croquet, etc? My only complaint is that it doesn't have more fun little games like these included. Carnival games has over 70 events or games, whereas this one only has 7.
Overall I would recommend renting this first to see if is the game for you. We bought a pre-owned copy with a 7 day guarantee. We decided to keep it.
Don't Buy This GAME May 9, 2008

I just got my WII system and I love it. I have tried many games out and have been very happy, but this game is AWFUL!!! On golf you can't control the swing or the speed of the ball and horseshoes I couldn't even get close... Graphics are good but not enough for me to keep the game. I went back to the store and sold it back to them the very next day.
