Brief synopsis of Sports Island

Sports Island is a multi-event offering, pulling together ten sporting events and pushing the player to their limits. Players are invited to play addictive Adidas-endorsed versions of Beach Volley, Football, Badminton, Basketball, Curling, Figure Skating, Archery, Moto Cross, Snowboarding and Kart Race. Each uses the Wii Remote and Nunchuk in unique yet accessible ways. As such, a subtle swing of the Wii Remote is used to hit the ball in Volleyball, while subtle twists are needed to ride the slopes in the Snowboarding section.

Up to four players can compete in each event, and, with its entertaining multi-player modes and varied gameplay, Sports Island is an ideal game for players of all ages. Each sport is brilliantly realised and intuitive to play, with sports such as Football and Basketball featuring all the passes and skill of the real thing but without sacrificing immediacy. Similarly, the likes of Figure Skating and Curling demand precision from the player and a different range of skills, guaranteeing hours of entertainment as players attempt to climb the in-game leader boards at the expense of their friends.

Rated - 2 starsnot as good as hoped

This game is already out in the US as Deca Sports by Konami. Sadly as you will see with most of the reviews, the game does not live up to the expectation.

The control responses when playing the game are slow (especially the football and badminton games) and some of the games go really quickly (like the snowboarding).

You can't even use your own Mii character which is shame.

If you are expecting Wii Sports 2, this game is not the one.

its not too boring, but i returned it quite early.

You kinda get bored pretty quick

A decent (similar) game instead would be EA playground.

Got this game cos i was looking for something like wii play and wii sports.
