If you consider yourself hardcore then move along, there’s nothing for you here. We Ski will get mediocre reviews although GamesRadar gave it an 8. Typical of Wii games, reader scores are 9 and above. There is no great depth or complexity here, graphics are cartoony, music is best muted and there isn’t any online element.

So what do you get for $29.99. You get great skiing with what is quite possibly the best yet use of motion control. With a Wiimote in one hand and a nunchuck  in the other you can in minutes start skiing and achieve in time a remarkable precision and subtlety of control with nary a button to mash. Most motions are controlled just by the way in which you lean and how you move your hands. Yep, leaning, this is no game for couch potatoes. It also is set to use the Wii balance board and the few reviewers who had tried it loved it. But even without the board the body leans feel natural and add a level of immersion to the game. Also fun is that you can use your Mii to provide the face on the skier. So set up a fan blowing over an ice cube tray and get ready to have a ball skiing with up to four friends (split screen).

The Good:
-great use of motion control
-use of body adds immersion
-big mountains you can roam at will
-cool night mode
-use of balance board
-four player competition

The Bad:
-so so visuals and music
-ski school moves slowly (but good for kids)
-unnecessary ski lift ride (can opt out)
-no online

Get a Grip! It's Only a Video Game 

Just because the game doesn't drive people away with gratuitous complexity doesn't mean it isn't deep.

Sounds pretty good for it's price, none of the bad points really effect the game play/fun and if it's four player local play it doesn't really 'need' online.

A buy rating for me, besides it's the first game to use the balance board.

LoL, man, that's bullcrap. I think any type of gamer could enjoy a game like this, don't pidgeonhole hardcore gamers as narrowminded, that's insulting to them.

Edit: Wait, the OP is being sarcastic and I didn't catch it at first, I think. 

Truer words have never been spoken and I may be selling this game short after only playing a few hours. I suspect the real depth comes by your improving skill.

I agree that anyone would enjoy it, if they would try it. In the present climate, I just hoped to spare the thread being buried in a constant flaming for the lack of graphic sophistication and online play, neither of which to me would add anything important to the game.

And yes, a level of sacasm since I don't think the terms casual and hardcore have any meaning when used to label people although it is easier to divide games that way based on accesability

I hate it when people say graphics are bad if they are cartoony
