First off I found it necessary for me to make a review of this garbage. I purchased it for my folks - because they like the interactive sports that the Wii has to offer. I saw the Activision label and was convinced that the title was worth the almost 50 dollar price tag. Boy was I wrong.

I was very excited about this game - the cover art was decent and credible - and it seriously looked entertaining. So after navigating through the menu screens – I get to the one that lets you pick which of the sports you want to play. I started with lacrosse because I was interested to see how the game play worked. My excitement wore thin faster then ever before. I selected lacrosse and saw 3 options _________. I selected throwing – and the instructions where given to me The game loaded up and I was introduced to a disgusting graphics and pitiful music. Oh and when it started playing – how can I forget the very cheesy narrator – with random phrases. The controls are also horrendous. Did I mention that it wasn't actually lacrosse? And let me also add that there aren't any of the sports that they say are there?
So after that I tried basketball. My character looked as if he was having a spasm.
As I was trying the different game modes – I was often left in a position of "what the hell is happening?" and "how the hell can I do what I want it to do".
My memorable experience with this game ended when I was playing 'Hockey'. I was the goalie. In it you have to 'deflect' shots from an AI. I didn't know what I was doing – and I was blocking most of them. The reason why I say the game ended – was because it crashed at the loading screen as I exited back to the main menu. And yes, the only way to fix it was to go up to my wii and unplug it. Talk about the cost to my hardware.

This game must have been created in a couple weeks - because not only is it low budget, but the art is uninspired and animations wonky. This game - simply from visuals - is like traveling back in time to the 90s.

This game is not worth 50 dollars, or 40, or even 15 or when it ends up in the budget bin – I will only recommend this game when the world ends and there is nothing else to play. The only entertainment I got out of this game was when I was laughing at it with others.
I shall re-iterate this again – what ever you do – avoid this game – because the only thing that could be worse than this – is a sequel.
