User Rating: 9 | Winter Sports: The Ultimate Challenge WII
I like this game a lot. Almost all events are very fun and except bobsleigh which has annoying Wii-mote rotating movement at start. In Bobsleigh you have to rapidly rotate Wii-mote which isn't suitable for my hands, it feels very unergonomic and unnatural movement which gives sore forearms very quickly, I don't see how this simulates pushing sledge when race starts. Controls in other events are much better. Cross country skiing is just right you move controllers front and back like skies and tilt for steering. Alpine skiing is very fast and you can actually imitate it by moving controllers close to your chest and crouching when going faster and then rise up again when slowing down. Ski jump is also fun, keep controllers close to your chest and jump and then you need to jump again when you are landing. Controls feels very natural. It looks like Game-spot really does not like Wii at all, almost every Wii game scores badly. I guess Wii games are really hard to make because motion controlling is very new thing in video games. I think Winter Sports has excellent controls in almost every event. This game isn't very easy and if you wan't to score high you must have perfect accuracy and even easiest level isn't very easy, but high learning curve is also very realistic. I would review this game 9/10. What more do you need for Winter Sports game, perhaps more events and locations.
