I'm really looking forward to this and other balance board games. Family Ski has whet my appetite!

Is Wii Ski really that good? sorry I dont own a balance board yet...
@ dark prince----> Skate It works by shifting your weight on the board. Depending on the area the weight is shifted you do tricks...

 

 

I haven't got one either so I tried it at a friend's. There were four of us taking it in turns so I didn't get a chance to play it in depth but it was good fun and really different. The only thing you can really compare it to is arcade skiing games which are meant to be played for a short period of time and emphasise fun. It just depends what kinds of games you like really. If you're only into epic RPGs and the latest blockbusters then you'll probably hate it, but if you enjoy playing games like Wii Sports, Mario Kart, and other 'short blast' games with a group of mates or your kids then I'd certainly recommend it. I'll be waiting til it's less than £20 before I pick it up myself, but I'm cheap.
