What's more, Family Ski and Snowboard improves on real-life snowboarding. It's sociable rather than solitary, and there's not a single nasty or brutish thing about it. The good selections of courses and events mean it's not too short, and it's an ideal alternative to real winter sports if you're poor. But most importantly, it's not rubbish.
I know it sounds like hyperbole, but for my family Go Vacation has been as engaging and time consuming as Skyrim seems to have been for our more hard core gaming friends.
It’s the kind of game that makes me wish I gave video games scores out of 10. If I did I would only have handed out a few 10s on the Wii, and Go Vacation would get one of them now for sure.
SPOnG: "The producer of Family Ski and Go Vacation has told SPOnG that he could have easily made a Ridge Racer title for the Nintendo Wii, but decided against it."
Gamebosh:
"It's a game best enjoyed with multiple participants, though the the name does make that seem rather obvious. Overall though, while Family Ski is fairly enjoyable Wii fodder, most of its appeal comes through the control system. Take that away, and pretty much all the fun is gone, something that a fair number of Wii titles are equally guilty of."
