We Cheer is an excellent and novel take on creating a game that utilizes Wii's motion controls for something intuitive and unexpected. The up-front learning curve can be discouraging at first, but aspiring young cheerleaders as well as dance or music game fans of any age or gender will find this cheerleading incredibly addictive and fun after a little practice. You may look silly to friends while playing it, but the music, choreography and sunny presentation should make most anyone smile, and those playing will get a decent, light workout to boot.
In its favor, We Cheer has a surprisingly good track list and plenty of pre-teen appeal, but it veers between demanding precise movements and accepting vague waves. This means you can bumble through most routines but it's hard to play with any precision. Bear that in mind if you don't want your little sister throwing your remote to the floor in tears because she didn't make the grade.
Cheerleading with a pair of Wii remotes acting as a pair of pom-poms sounds like a great idea..

A cheerleader game.. dear lord. What next..something for the man of the house, build your very own authentic virtual furniture in the house.. sod doing something productive and real, why bother when you can use your trusty wii to build your very own virtual wardrobes and bathroom cabinets! Not only that, why not go a step further and stick it in super mario sims!
On a side note, those cheerleaders are a freaking insult to my country.. I thought cheerleaders were supposed to be drop dead gorgeous? Look at the podge on the blonde? She should stop drinking lambrini and get wii fit.. the stupid person's way to epically fail in getting in shape!
I'm sure all you virgin nerds talk tough now, but if put in the same room as any of those girls you'd all be quiet and stare at your feet while thinking of something clever to say.
Ok, which UK sports has cheerleaders? Rugby? Cricket? I ask since in the US, basketball and football (not soccer) are the ones that have cheerleaders and those are pretty American of sports. Maybe they have more of a following than I thought in the UK. But someone fill me in.
