IGN: We Ski Review
We Ski put itself in a great position for the launch of Wii Fit, but it’s unfortunate that the core game doesn’t support the well-executed balance board integration with stronger core gameplay. The experience is slow, the mountain is small, and the game bombards users with text pop-ups and the need to constantly slow down and chat with other resort patrons in order to initiate short-lived challenges and races.
Once you do get going, the balance board control is well done, but it’s also just a replacement for the left and right tilt of the regular controllers, and doesn’t factor in any forward/backward momentum to allow players actual speed control. We Ski is a better product for having balance board support, but foot control and Mii integration don’t mean much when the main gameplay is so lackluster.
