I would not recommend this game, especially for younger players. There are a few reasons:
1 ) The 4 “game choices are” basically all the same. You need only to go through the same courses on different devices. . . which can cool if you actually on the water. However, in a video game, it’s basically just a slightly different view of the same game.
2 ) The graphics are not as great. We have an old circa 1999 with a Play Station game with graphics this good (bad?).
3 ) The use of the Wii Fit Balance Board, the game is nothing special. There are at least 10 games on the Wii Fit Plus, they are much better than those built. Why pay when you in fact already have?
4 ) This game not to use your Mii charaters. They have set up a radically new to it when you play it.
5 ) The balance board is almost impossible to small for my children. It is very difficult to control. Some find this “challenge to be welcomed.” . . but it was frustrating to my children.
6th ) The game controls are not as advertised. In the promotional video, it seems as if you are using the Wii remote together with the Balance Board in a cool fashion. Not really. . . Always with the Balance Board to control steering left and right. . . Oh boy, what fun (not). And the Wii Remote, well, you use that basically limited to “gas” (GO / STOP), or to perform tricks.
7th ) In the performance of tricks. . . if you have a very large TV screen, the graphics are so bad you can not even say that the various tricks apart. It looks like the person turns to awe a little bit, but nothing.
8 ) Maybe there are some features that we do not “unlock”, but it seemed like this game was not very “rich” in features. In this day and age, you expect games like Mario Kart that many cool characters and to find different vehicles and abbreviations, to open new routes, etc. I do not have the feeling that all this with this game. Seriously feels like a 1990 game for the Wii 10 years later repackaged.
One cool feature we enjoyed was that, two players at the same time, where a player controls the speed to play, while the other player controls the wake board.
So my children tried this for about half an hour. . . That is about all that we made this game. . . Then they went back to the game Wii Fit game. . . and it had not played since!

Not bad, make use of the balance board and add more variety. I agree with other reviewers that all activities, all pretty much play the same, although comments. There is some variation exists in the landscape (which is a pretty sight), but the actual game and controls of all types have the same feeling from activity to activity. For this reason, I tend a little bored with this after a while and go to another game.
That is, this is still not a bad game when a little variety seeking, and if you want to give in a little water activities without investment in the sports (and movement to bring plus controller), it is worth a try. This does not use your Mii character.

This game is fun for a little while, like 15 minutes then it is old. The game is the same for all four games, if your kite-surfing, water skiing or whatever. The Jet Ski game is alittle different, because the Board orientation. I have the game as a gift and will definitely trade it for a little while. It is not super sophisticated, nor does it give you much of a workout.

For some reason the children never really in this game and I’ve only seen them play a few times. I’ll probably sell them used on the market. Fortunately, there is a good market for all Wii games. I wish you could try it before you buy it, as it is difficult to say what will be a hit, until they be used.

I agree with most of the C. Pittman ’s review 1/3/10.
Menu:
There are only four games, easy / normal difficulty (I guess is closed difficult) and selection 3 male / female team. You can choose different courses on a poster showing a world map with tacks different cities / countries.
Sound / Music:
the elevator music style, there are no other noise than water and all engines & I think a grunt, if you encounter / slam into things. No cheers, no boos, no noise of AI opponents, nada.
Graphics / Presentation:
your character fall is the best part, and seemed most efforts have in him, it is almost decent animated, like how to drop it in real life (a few times I glanced almost b / c if it had hurt was real.) the water had been done properly, but more on PS1/PS2 best graphics. all courses and all looked like the coast was so general as can be with anything, they differ from any other courses. The biggest problem there is no shade or texture, so it looks like all floating then surfing or horseback riding. It is difficult to distance because of this and your character and judges very little w / the camera away and very high.
Gameplay / AI:
boring / dull because of the above problems everything seems so lifeless. Wii Fit mini-game that easily blows out of the water. (No pun intended) I have tried this first w / the Wiimote & although I 7 Space on the first hit a few times trying to figure playing around, what I can and can not (used game, no instructions) as soon as I have a ramp and I was in first every time, although I would in the seventh Playing around drop. It makes things easier for children, but I awear I was in the fourth, fell and was in the seventh directly at the goal line and the AI almost waiting for me, so I was in the fifth was almost fourth. all games the same, repetitive and lifeless, old Atari games had more depth, fun and more skill required.
controls:
Wiimote works well. Balance Board is sensitive, but look at the situation. Besides my darkening held every few seconds w / white letters say, to replace my batteries in the BB. I struck the home of batteries & they had to review almost entirely. I tried another “activity” on this game and the same thing, it was annoying with all the flashing. I have to prove in Wii Fit Plus in immediately, it was the game and played for 30 minutes before I had to do something else with no battery issues.
Even if you have a balance board game collector, pass on this. also “go play circus” is much better, much less Wii Fit / Wii Fit came Plus & Super Monkey Ball Step & Roll straight out. There are also several U.S. dollars 12:05 WiiWare games, which tip the balance board as well as, balance, Tetris Party (Tetris Party Deluxe CD coming soon), Rock & Roll climbing, snowboarding riots, etc.
