The open world makes the game 20 times better!

User Rating: 9 | Family Ski: World Ski & Snowboard WII
First things first, the new addition of the snowboard makes the game more fun. There's nothing like pulling a Double Cork 1080 off of the ski jump. In We Ski, the game rated all of your runs and gives you a grade from E - A+. I didn't necessarily enjoy this because it almost forced you to do everything perfectly, instead of just having fun.
In We Ski and Snowboard, they removed these and added the "thumbs up" achievement system. Every time you accomplish one of these secret tasks, it will add it to your records. Another improvement, they added Mt. Angrio, an unpolished mountain with infinite possibilities, cliffs, avalanches, and a secret cave area. Your character is highly customizable and has special uniforms that are cool and wacky, like a penguin suit, or a ninja. With a big snow park, you can pull off so many cool tricks.
The Wii Balance Board is not required but is compatible with We Ski and Snowboard.

This game receives a 9.0 out of 10. Based on how the open world makes this game, I think that other reviews are a little harsh.
