Serves up a lot of gameplay for your $30 dollars. None of the events come quite close enough to holding their own as stand-alone games, yet they succeed as a part of a substantive sports package.
-
Winter Sports pulls off the omnibus sports game effortlessly, with intuitive, responsive controls and effective, distinctive design for each sport.
-
It's an evolution, for sure, but not an entirely exciting one.
-
60Some things in this game will hold your attention, but so many of the games, like Bob Sledding, are just plain not. The game as a whole just lacks pizzazz.
-
60Despite the dull window dressing, Winter Sports does have lots of game modes. There are more good events than bad ones. The good ones actually show some pretty well thought out ways to use the Wii controls to good effect - a solid effort.
-
55The graphics aren't nearly as polished as official screens would have you believe, and the game – while better than every other Conspiracy effort thus far – grows dull fast. Unless you can find this one extremely cheap, skip it.
-
This title isn't altogether terrible, but gives you no incentive to make you want to keep playing.
-
Nevertheless, the usually timed Winter Sports: The Ultimate Challenge is an okay rental choice if you're looking for brief, sporty mini-games based on Olympic events and aren't keen on Mario & Sonic lighting your torch.
-
47With awkward control schemes, modes that don't differentiate from one another, and a bleak overall look, it pales in comparison to similar games in the genre.
-
45If the wait for the 2010 Winter Olympics is killing you, this ho-hum collection won't make time go by any quicker.
-
There's enough shovelware on the Wii already, so don't encourage any more, and skip this one at all costs.
-
42Just keep your expectations for it measured and with the understanding that it ultimately peaks with the skiing and loses its luster from there.
-
40At 30 bucks Winter Sports isn't remotely worth the money. You could get a decent rental out of it - get some friends together, laugh at each other while doing the crap events once each, then play the skiing parts until Lost is on.
-
30Given its control troubles, bargain basement production values, and overly expensive price tag of $30, there is really nothing worth recommending in Winter Sports: The Ultimate Challenge.
-
Unlike most other mini-game collections, multiplayer seems like an afterthought instead of a primary focus.

JamesG.1This game was a major waste of money. The controls are weird and the game experience is purely frustrating.
