Just like the "Bring It On" movie, All Star Cheer Squad puts you in the role of a junior cheerleader on her first day at cheer camp and introduces you to an increasingly bratty group of other cheerleaders who get by on lame insults and challenges to your "spirit." The game plot isn't all that great, but it fits in with the general perception of cheerleading. I'm not trying to say that all of the characters are less than positive, but man, why would anyone put up with this stuff?"

Take note of this first comparison. The closest kin to All Star Cheer Squad? The Bratz games for the DS, or perhaps even Zoey 101. Whoa, there. You heard that right. Still care to read on?"
VGGEN writes: "I think it's safe to say by now that cheerleading sims are not my cup of tea. In fact, the majority of gamers wouldn't give All Star Cheer Squad a second glance as they breeze through the Wii section at their favorite store. However, for its intended audience (namely little girls or even some adults who have always wanted to be cheerleaders) it's actually quite the solid title."
WorthPlaying writes: "As far as the Nintendo Wii is concerned, there have been several rhythm games revolving around different themes. Aside from the instrument-based games for the system, one of the more interesting ones to have come out in recent months was We Cheer, a rhythm game based on cheerleading. Using either one or two Wii Remotes, the user performed various cheer maneuvers to 30 different popular songs across several different venues. The formula worked and became a surprisingly good rhythm game. Not content to let just one cheerleading game exist on Nintendo's latest console, THQ released All Star Cheer Squad, a title that tries to capture an audience by making use of the Wii Balance Board along with the Nunchuk and Wiimote. Unfortunately, a new control scheme doesn't help make a game fun if the other elements fail to deliver."
