    A really enjoyable game, with direct, simple yet universal fun for everyone, which increases with the number of players. There have been a lot of games like this on the Wii, but this Namco Bandai one is one of the best.

    If you're the sort of person for whom playing games on the Wii usually involves more than one person sitting or standing in front of your TV, you should give Go Vacation a look.

    Go Vacation with its numerous activities and beautiful environment offers more than many of its competitors. Not all the mini games are equally fun, which is often due to controls. While there's some appeal specifically for singleplayer, it's obviously the multiplayer aspect that promises good entertainment.

    Go Vacation's main problem is that its controls are, nine times out of ten, too unresponsive to make it any fun.

  1. A perfectly enjoyable games for small kids - my daugher (8) and son (5) love exploring the resorts, riding horses, driving cars, skate- and snowboarding with the simple controls and enjoyable and varied scenery. While some of the mini-games are less than perfect, that does not matter: if you have (medium) small children they will love this, and they can quickly play without any need for supervision. My kids have played this more than all our other Wii games put together. Expand
