Celebrity Sports Showdown - Nintendo Wii

I like to work on my core while I do video games. How? I use a wobble board or balance pads and play a game on the Wii. The volleyball on this game is great: to add more upper body work and to make the game more difficult I play two players, one in my left hand and one in my right. At first this is difficult-- you must think fast and be aware of which player is going to have to hit. What is great is that it really gets like real volleyball-- you can do overpass kills and block kills! Your front player near the net, if he's quick, can spike when the other team bumps over. I know that my balance and core strength has improved immensely, and because it takes so much concentration I don't think about how I am exercising. I also do some of the game in a squat position to do leg strengthening. This is just so much fun. I also do the balance board with the horse jumping, water tube racing, and skiing. I don't think the wall climbing or shooting or dodgeball are as conducive to using the balance board.

Remembering the good ole days

This game was tonz of fun! There was a very large selection of games to play and compete in. The teams tournament is super fun and was really exciting. The whole family was totally in to this game and the only thing that stopped our marathon playing was one of the remotes died. Totally recommend this game for ALL ages.

I'm 32 yrs. old and I enjoyed this game. I mention my age because a lot of wii games are really geared towards the kid end of the spectrum. This game suits both I believe. I was playing this game with my dad the other night and had a great time. Yes, some of the controls might be a little loose on some games, but if you practice you can overcome. I really enjoyed the dodgeball, downhill skiing, curling, and others that I haven't played as much yet to make a review. The tubing I didn't care for at all and the jousting was really loose with the controls. If you're playing it by yourself it could get old. I'd say if you have a family or a group of friends, this is a great game to compete in. If you're looking for a game with exact science controls/movements, pass this one up. But if you're looking for a simple game with easy controls, you can't go wrong with this game and the low price.

This was worthless. It wouldn't let me past the opening windows, and we couldn't use the game.

This is a pretty fun party game, and it's fun to pick a celeb to represent you in these crazy challenges, but seriously -- Reggie who? It seems like it's going to have a short shelf life.

The dodgeball game alone is worth it. we play 2 on 2, or 2 vs. the computer, and have a blast. Through in the skiing, tubing, and whatever that Canadian ice/rock game is, and it's well worth the money. Volleyball, badmitten, and the plane race don't do much for me. Had a grammie and grandkid also playing and loving it (the dodgeball). If you're debating on getting it - get it.... it's worth it!

I was looking for a game that would get us up off the couch and moving. This was not the game I was looking for. It was entertaining, but just used small movements - fake exercise. We need games that get us up and moving!
