Family Ski - Fun For the Family

Family Ski is an awesome game for those who want to take every advantage of the new Wii Balance Board. The game is also compatiable with the regular wii-mote and nunchuk, if you'd like to play this game but don't own the balance board. The game's art direction is similar to that of the Mii's, or your personal self on your Wii console. If you've created a Mii, you can even import yourself into the game. It is cartoony, but fits in well with the rest of the Wii exercise games.

The game is based in the Happy Ski Resort, with each of the 14 ski runs being run by animals of different types. You can start at the top of the mountain and head down to each of the runs, in a sort of campaign based play, or, you can pull up a small minimap and begin at any of the 14 different runs. There are about 20 races and 70 different events for you to master. It also has up to a four person multi-player, for online based action. This game is another perfect addition to your collection, and even more so if you own the Wii Balance Board
