    Summer Sports: Paradise Island is exactly what it sounds like, a mini-game collection full of exciting sports you mostly play when the sun is out and everybody is complaining about the heat.

    It's a shame the developers spent more time on the presentation of their game than on the actual gameplay. Out of the seven mini-games on offer here, we can only recommend two. And those are half-hearted recommendations.

    Fun can be had with many of the games in Summer Sports Paradise Island, especially when playing head-to-head, but the control issues will keep you from that “just one more game” feeling present in titles like Wii Sports.

    Even worse, the game has an annoying glitch where missed shots in HORSE count as makes. We love the effort Destineer put into the Paradise Island environment, but that glitch is unacceptable.

    A lot of fun! But why does it force you to play with 4 players? It forces you to wait thru 3 CPU players with no fast forward. Def. a party game. But still so addictive. Volleyball , Lawn Darts, and Basketball, is soooo much fun. Could use a Practice Mode. Give this game at least a Rent!… Expand

    Not bad, but not great either. While the games are fun and almost all of them work as intended it's got issues that hold it back from being a must have mini-game collection. If you have other people to play it with, preferably four, it's fun but not a game you want to play by yourself. The AI is prone to bugging out, it's got several glitches, and the basketball game doesn't work at all. But even with these flaws I had fun playing this with others, and even though it's not perfect it's still surprisingly fun.… Expand

    Many times during the putt-putt golf there are many problem areas in that downgrade this attempt at adult enjoyment.
    1.Many screen freezes oc    cur on various holes.
    2. Many times your ball is replaced in a different spot than you saw when it stopped in the previous putt.
    3.Not nearly as good as the Wii Sports that came free with the original Wii game.    … Expand
