4.0 out of 5 stars Overall a fun game that puts the focus on building different skills in each game!, Dec 12 2011
Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 
This game requires the Motion Plus controller add-on for older Wii's but will be okay in newer Wii's which have the Plus component built in the controller. The game normally ships with the Plus controller in the box, but is not required if the Wii is already fitted with Plus.

These are the games included with my 2 cents:

Swordplay - great fun, lots of bashing - fun stops when you challenge someone who has great wrist action and does not need to swing wildly like I do...

Wakeboarding - fun to rack up the points with air tricks, I got bored after a while...

Frisbee - this is a target practice type game...with a dog...

Archery - I like the higher skill levels - neat game.

Basketball - didn't play much.

Table Tennis - fun when playing with a good player.

Golf - basic but fun.

Bowling - This has been upgraded since the version I have, you can bowl way more than 10 pins...!

Power Cruising - similar to wake boarding but with Jet ski's, I think...can't remember now.

Canoeing - yeah... race around a course feverishly waving your arms left then right, then left, left, left, crap I'm going in circles...

Cycling - work those arms - can get boring, but is challenging with multiple players.

Air Sports - I like this one, I like flying around the island finding the markers or shooting balloons.

Overall a fun game that puts the focus on building different skills in each game rather than repeating the same skill, so it's fun for each person who may be good in one game but not so great in another.

3.0 out of 5 stars Neat gift set, Nov 25 2010
I bought this as a gift for my 3 and 5 year old niece and nephew who like to bake, while the quality is just average and the cookie cutters are small, it's OK as a kid's gift. I was surprised that a baking tray was also included.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed and cheated!, Nov 25 2010
I purchased this animal numbers wall mural a few weeks ago and was disappointed to have to pay an additional $8 shipping cost for what amounted to a letter sized sheet of stickers(paid $20 in total). Quality is OK but the stickers will not cover a very big area. Imagine my shock when a week later I stopped in to my local dollar store and saw the exact product (brand was exactly the same) on sale for $1. I am reluctant to purchase anything but books from Amazon now...what a waste!
