 A good party or 'motion' game. August 26, 2008
Creating players is not very intuitive (Mii's are not used for whatever reason), but the games themselves are not bad.
The games don't offer the most control over how you throw or swing...but playing bocce ball with a group is a lot of fun. Disc Golf is the same
The rest of the games are just ok though, as the interface is not exactly accurate.
 Poor Game August 25, 2008

This game is so boring. There is little to keep your attention. I would not spend any money on it.
 Better then most mini sport game titles August 19, 2008

This game shows it's commitment w/overall intuitive controls considering the restraint & the best idea: as little players as possible & when there's only 2, you control them both, different levels of play (have to be unlocked through play) There is a skill point system overall tally for each of the 6 sports to earn you to higher difficulties & stickers like awards like birdie blitz & soaring eagle for disc golf, palms of steel for volleyball, long ranger for soccer, enforcer for bocce (hitting the jack). You can decide left/right handed, good amount of customization of your characters. Each time win, they do an old school 90s dance, one even looks like from Rerun from the show What's Happening since none of the players speak. The only sounds are boring background looped music beat & cheering crowd which helps a lot. There are also sounds from the remote, say every time you hit the volleyball. You can control how many points/goals to win a game, the length of time of a game for all the games & other options.
Volleyball - you control both players on your team, good control, good timing, one of the best volleyball on wii considering the constraint of control, how hard you swing actually makes a difference.
Disc golf - good controls, good aim, 3 different ways to throw, painfully dull courses Super monkey ball's disc golf has better course.
Bocce - good control/aim, how hard you swing makes no difference, much faster & more interesting then slow moving shuffleboard on game party.
Cricket - like baseball on wii sports, good controls, I had no problems, how hard you swing makes a difference, I found it pretty good, one of the best & not too slow watching the players move on their own after you throw/bowl or at bat.
Football - hard to learn control scheme since not as intuitive, little buggy as well, though great idea only 2 players per game & cute
Soccer - four players on each team, you don't control the goalie, just a lot of passing & deciding when to shoot for goal, boring.
None of these will get your heart rate going like wii sports except on a arcade game level, though for sports games, I did enjoy them more then all the other sport only mini game titles (except wii sports) (I'm not into watching professional sports.)
I think this title went in the right direction, but needed more polishing & new wii motion plus should really help things next year for the new titles. Adding the wii board as an option for sport games should also be an option.
Lotsa Fun July 31, 2008
This game is a lot of fun. The reason I don't give it 5 stars is that some of the moves are limited/strange and don't seem to correspond with what is happening on the screen. Also, it was difficult to choose players and make teams. Once all that is figured out, it's a lot of fun. The games are easy to learn for the most part so younger players can pick up the moves quickly.
 Big Beach Sports for Wii July 30, 2008

The Wii Big Beach Sports game has given us many hours of entertainment. We love football and soccer the most. We still haven't quite figured out the rules for Cricket! The Disc Golf is a little to easy. Overall I'm sure most family's will find this game enjoyable.
