Winter Sports 2

User Ratings and Reviews

2 Stars Disappointing
Thought this game looked fun with all of the different sporting options. Basically I was looking for something that would expand Wii Sports. This is not it. If only used with a controller the game is very boring and basic overall. I have not yet played it with a wii fit board which might transform the game, but was so turned off by the game prior to owning the wii balance board that I have yet to venture to play it again.

Give it a try with the wii board, but it is not worth the money without it.

3 Stars Winter Sports 2 – fun game
This is a fun game, but isn’t easily mastered. Difficulty understsanding what moves on the Wii Balance Board to do to make the game go smoothly.

3 Stars Nice game for use with the Balance Board
Nice game, directions on how to use it could be better, but they were fun to do with the Wii Balance Board.

2 Stars Ok game
I got this game because it was less expensive than the Shaun White game, it seemed to have different games that you could play not just snowboarding and they had it used at the store so I could try it for 7 days and if I didn’t like it I could take it back… Well I am taking it back! It is kind of confusing, the balance board capability is nice but not very intuitive and it is hard to get used to playing it. The worst part of the game is the announcers (you can turn them off but it took a bit to figure out how)they are constantly insulting you as you learn how to play and they have the same side conversation with each other about some fight one of them had with a judge or something in every single game. If you are trying to decide between this and Shaun White’s game go with Shaun White!!! I borrowed that game from a friend after getting this one and it is great because it is so intuitive and they don’t insult you! I am going to cough up the extra cash and get that game instead of this one!

4 Stars Wii game
This was a gift for a family member, age 13. He enjoys the game immensely, but currently does not own a Wii fit board and believes it will be more enjoyable once he has obtained this.

3 Stars Not skiing – but still fun
I’m an expert skiier of many years and was really looking forward to this game. Figured i could hone my skills when off piste, but No. Even with the Wii balance board, this doesn’t come close to actually skiing. The controls are way to off kilter for what you actually do when skiing. If you are looking for a ski simulator experience, look elsewhere. However, this game is still fun, especially if you just use the Nunchuk and skip the balance board. So i still gave it 3 stars. Takes a bit of getting used to, but it is fun. But not the same as skiing.

4 Stars FUN GAME!
I ordered this for my 6 year old grandson and he has enjoyed “WE SKI”. It starts out with ski school and then allows different types of competitions.

4 Stars Skiing without the cold weather
I found the we ski is a fun product that gives you a very close feeling to real skiing when you have the wii fit board without dealing with the cold and wet weather. I addition to that you never need to stand in line for the next ride and it is a good preparation for the next skiing season.

1 Star Very disappointed wtih this game.
This game left a lot to be desired. I have skied for 25 years and this board is nothing like skiing. Yet, the skiing games that ship with the Wii board are wonderful and account for every way your body may move. This one only seems to account for side-to-side movement.

This was a real disappointment. Stick with the ski games that come with the Wii Fit. They are a lot of fun.

5 Stars We Ski: 2 Generations
My son and I get very different things out of this game. My son is a 11 year-old competitive gamer and he enjoys “beating the game” by doing all the activities and winning all the races. I am getting something different from the game. I am enjoying taking my time, seeing all the sights (the scenery in the game is actually quite beautiful), and relaxing. I have a very stressful job, and after a frustrating day, I can get on my balance board “ski” around and I can feel my blood pressure go down immediately.

Wii Fit Rechargeable Battery Pack for Balance Board

280 mAh / 5.0v Input, 4.8v Output

User Ratings and Reviews

1 Star Don’t make a mistake
I bought this in a bundle from a major retailer and had a problem with the fit board only to find out Nintendo says this voids your warrenty. Right now I am having to pay postage and repairs for the item. They did show me in the handbook where it states the use of NON-Wii items voids the warrenty. I think the retailers should back the warrenty as they are selling this in bundles and I don’t think everyone would know it was wrong to use it.

3 Stars Hassle Free
The recharge battery pack for the WII fit is easy to use and really saves you money. Great option to have.

4 Stars Wii battery recharger
The green charging light stays on and does not go off after a full charge – so you never know status. Aside from that, it’s OK

4 Stars Wii Fit goes green
The recharger works great. It is a bit of a tight fit installing it in the balance board battery bay so I would recommend schlepping your balance board over to the Wii and charging it with the pack installed. Charge lasts for about 5 – 10 sessions. I’m sure I’ve saved enough in batteries to pay for this unit. It’s a no-brainer, if you have a balance board, you need this charger.

3 Stars Works well, but comes up a little short
The rechargeable battery pack works well, but it seems like it needs to be plugged in a lot more than I’d like. It would be more helpful if the USB cord was longer so you could actually use the feature of being able to plug it into the Wii console as you work out so it continues to charge. I will have to purchase a USB extension to be able to fully use it.

4 Stars Silicone for Comfort
The silicone sleeve adds comfort to stocking feet. More importantly it adds non slip protection.

5 Stars Nice addition to the Wii Fit
Fits perfectly over the Wii. My Wii Fit board was getting dirty, so I got this and it works great.

4 Stars Great product
I am very pleased with this product. The board gets dirty very easily, and isn’t the most comfortable thing for constant stepping. Once I put this on, I have not had to do much cleaning and it still looks great. It is also much more comfortable on the feet. I had worried it may be slippery, but not at all. I feel more secure with it on. My two little kids use it, and they get a kick out of the glow in the dark feature. We didn’t need it to glow, they just think it is cool. It is very easy to put on, very durable (standing up to 2 adults, and 2 small children with almost daily use), and easy to clean when you have to. Love it and recommend it.

5 Stars CLEAR SLEEVE
I ordered this after reading the other comments posted. It protects the WIIFIT board from dirty feet or shoes and it does seem to give you a better grip if you are bare footed. I am glad I ordered it and very easy to put on.

3 Stars silicone cover for balance board
it ripped the first 10 minutes i had it. it’s easier to rip than paper. it does keep your white board clean though. i would look to something a little more sturdy.

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Wonderful Addition!
I totally love my Wii Fit and was so happy with this product to make it an even better experience. If you have a Wii Fit, you should be sure to purchase this fitness bundle. Each of the five pieces contained in this bundle are a welcome addition.

5 Stars Items for wii fit board
This product has been very useful for me. Because it has saved me on batteries and the sock are very useful. The mat is good also. I haven’t use the travel bag yet, that is because I don’t travel with the fit board.

5 Stars What a deal: Quality and quantity!
OK, it is a bit pricey. I actually paid $59.95 (no shipping, no tax, though) And believe it is worth every penny. The quality of the products speaks for itself. Even socks look like something you would buy out of Ralph Lauren store. Battery pack – you NEVER have to buy batteries! Mat is also of a very good quality. The bag is soooo cute and makes it a great storage compartment. Nice and neat. The jelli sleeve could be a little tighter, but over all, as another reviewer said if you want majority of the products in the bundle it is worth it.

5 Stars Great Product
Great product, great to use. Goes right along with wii fit. Adds to the play.

1 Star MISSING SOCKS
Amazon just recently changed it’s advertisement to read one pair of socks. I researched many sites before I purchased this product from Amazon. I was very dissapointed that this is false advertisement. I do want my other two pairs of socks. They went as far as putting white out on the 3. This means that they knew exactly what they were doing in my opinion.

4 Stars Wii Ski for use with the Wii Fit
This is a nice change of pace from the Wii Fit skiing games. It can be played without the Wii Fit, but with the Wii Fit you can practice for some of the Wii Fit balance but still get away from the hurry up and short timed Wii Fit games. I realy enjoy the night view with all the lights. I’m not allthat good at it, but I enjoy the challenges given to you by the people you stop and talk to. The only problem with the Wii Fit board is that you can only play with one person. If you want to change players you have to return to the main menu and restart.

4 Stars Wii SKi! … lots of FUN!
the game play, graphics and controls is pretty good! although the game play could be a bit better and controls more responsive…. it is not quite “real” or the feel is not as perfect !but I guess its a good iteration of using the WIi Fit board and the wiimote and nunchuck!

the controls is easy to follow and quite innovative! but I feel it could be better!

We should see more improvement on better utilizing the Wii Fit board!

overall quite satisfied with the game for the price I paid thru Amazon!

Can;t wait to hit the slopes in Colorado comming Winter!

1 Star Not Worth It
I was very disappointed in this game, it became quickly boring and the tasks were extremely annoying. I just don’t know what else to say about it except that we wasted our money on this game when we could have used it to buy something more worthwhile.

5 Stars Wii Ski is LOTS OF FUN!
I think this is one of the most fun Wii games on the market today. Up to 4 players can compete skiing down the various mountain trails. You can even use the Wii balance board if you wish. Very pleased with this game and highly recommend it to anyone.

3 Stars Arcade style gaming
Don’t expect any realistic skiing simulation here. Usage of the balance board is for left/right and other tricks use the remotes and buttons.

It’s closer to an arcade style game with the freestyle figures for fun. Not a bad title for the price but you will get quickly bored with it.
