Go Vacation / Game

When I saw this game I knew it was going to be fun. That was just from reading the write up. At the time of purchase, I spent twice as much as it is listed for now. It was well worth it, with saying that, if you see it for fourteen something, get it for yourself or for a gift for someone who loves to play the Wii, and you will be high on their list. This game has been played for 5+ hours in my house the last few nights. I am a 38 year old female and the other person who plays it, more like cannot turn it off, is a 40 year old male. He has little patience and is easily bored but this game has him and I will get to that soon. At first when we started playing, I will admit, I was not as impressed. I knew it had a lot to offer but I wanted to see to all, you have to unlock parts of the games to get to the 100 play area. I read a lot of people compare it to Sports Resort; I do not see the similarity. I will say without a doubt, if you have mastered Wii Ski and Snowboard, THIS is the game for you! It has the same layout and the controls are the exact same as Wii Ski and Snowboard. After awhile my arthritis hurts but my friends has managed to unlock so many games. One night he was on a mountain and it is set up JUST like Wii Ski and Snowboard. Instead of taking a gondola to the top or a helicopter, you take a ski lift or a helicopter as well. As you play you have the game playing the `resort' ski music in the background with the announcements. There are caves and hidden areas. Last night my friend found a cave on the mountain and it had lava in it and you are able to bungee jump above the lava. There are hidden `treasures' throughout the game and so far they have been outfits. The sound clips through out game are the same are Wii Ski and Snowboard. It make sense though, it is made by the same company, Namco, that put out the other game. This game is for little ones and adults. When my friend walks in he puts this game in and does not stop playing it and I am AMAZED at home much this game has to offer. There is so much to do! Another cute feature is you can use your mii's and also add a dog and pick your dog from their selection and name it. The dog will follow you around as you play, it is adorable. I wanted to hit on that you can use this without the balance board. I have one but we have not used it, just like Wii Ski and Snowboard. We use the motion plus remotes and nunchucks. For the price, GET IT! For someone who thinks they have every game, but does not have this one, get it. If you like Wii Ski and Snowboard, get this. My friend called not too long to ask if he could come over and play this some more since he opened a new area last night. The only con, which is little, with Wii Ski and Snowboard, you have the option to play in day or night mode. Since the layout and controls are the same, I thought it would be great if this game offered day or night. It is only in day mode. I like playing in night mode; it can be relaxing at night. UPDATE: Thanks to Diane in the comment section, we were able to unlock the night/day mode at the 16 stamp. Now you can play all the games in the night or day mode, it is AWESOME! This game is a treat and offers a lot more than I thought it did. I am very impressed and highly recommend it.

This game met all of my expectations. Go Vacation delivers more sports simulations in the style of Wii Sports Resort and keeps surprising us with fun mini games and challenges. I've played with my 9 year old son and his friends and my friends and their families. We've played for hours at a time, laughed, explored, and just enjoyed the getaway experience. I play with the game projected on a large screen about 3 meters across by 2 high which helps us immerse in the resort environment and maintains a playable screen size in 4 player mode. I'm an avid water sports and snow sports enthusiast in real life, so I was pleased with the variety of activities that kept to realistic simulations (within the limitations of the console of course). I'm surprised it was so hard to find this game. I recommend it to all my friends!

Lo recibimos en tiempo y en excelentes condiciones.

Absolutely the VERY BEST Wii game I've purchased! I'm simply awestruck at the developers for making a game that is easy enough for a child to play (it's my 7 year old daughter's favorite game) but that at the same time allows free (or guided) travel through four richly designed vacation areas (marine, city, mountain and snow resorts), play 50 extremely diverse mini-games, and also allows you to acquire your own villa site where you can furnish a villa and stay on a street filled with friend's villas. Doing justice to the game would take an extremely long winded review, and I don't want to scare anyone away from it, as again my 7 year old daughter was able to instantly enjoy it. What has absolutely amazed me and made me love the game is that we have been able to play it for an hour or so a few times a week for MONTHS without tiring of it and while still finding new hidden features, conquering levels of the mini-games, and filling the villa site. The scuba diving mini-game alone is a treasure, guiding the player through level after level of play in differing dive locations, finding exotic fish among shipwrecks, caverns, and underwater ruins. As for the diversity of the mini-games, how many other games see you ski-jumping one moment, doing roller-coaster length skateboard grinds the next, and even giving glass harp concerts?! Can't praise the game enough as without question it has been the most fun game I've played with my daughter and has allowed us to enjoy lots of fun playtime together!

Awesome game! Great variety of sports and activities with varying levels so it never gets boring or repetitive. So many things to do, it's just like being at a real resort!
