One of the better family games out there...
The game is great, especially for a family. My wife, two kids and I all play together and we have more fun playing this game than any other. Everyone can have fun and the variety of events keeps us playing for hours.
The graphics are superb, the controls are tight and yes while they are on the simple side they still manage to be a challenge. If every event were like archery the game would bog down.
It's a kid friendly version of the old Track and Field game we used to button mash for hours in the local arcade. Add in the characters and off the couch physical nature of the game and you have my vote for best family game of all time.
