How Metascores Are Calculated

Active Life: Outdoor Challenge
Stars indicate the most critically-acclaimed games. |
Big Beach Sports drops players into a seaside resort setting where up to four players can compete in sports including volleyball, soccer, American football, bocce, disc golf and cricket. The single player tournament structure encourages players to master each sport through the use of creative control combinations and real-life sport motions. [THQ]
All critic scores are converted to a 100-point scale. If a critic does not indicate a score, we assign a score based on the general impression given by the text of the review. Learn more... 70
n-Revolution Magazine UK
Six simple sporting events that will provide some fun for the summer. [Issue#24, p.76]

Games Master UK
Extremely basic and only six sports, but no other compilation has this selection of events. [Sept 2008, p.79]
60
Da Gameboyz
With average graphics, upbeat music, and motion sensitive control that can be somewhat fun, this game is really what you make it.

VideoGamer
As it is Big Beach Sports will provide some fairly limited, short term fun, but when available for less than £20 maybe that's not such a bad thing.
59
NGamer UK
Don't expect anything taxing but there's just enough content to make this a worthwhile multiplayer title for the younger gamer. [Aug 2008, p.62]

GameDaily
There simply isn't enough to do, outside of competing with friends (up to four at once) and playing through tournaments for unacceptable rewards.

AceGamez
When Big Beach Sports first arrived I smelled mediocrity a mile off - the worst trait for a reviewer.
45
GameSpot
The production values and overall presentation certainly fit this cut-rate title, and you'll soon get bored if you're playing alone.
40
Ferrago
A cheap shoddy cash in.
40
DarkZero
Given that the game only allows the use of the Wii-mote, playing a good old game of football seems a hard concept to imitate. Needless to say, this sport is ridiculously unsatisfying.
40
GameZone
This is a game that had potential, but that potential was not fully realized. The game is not terrible, especially in a multiplayer setting, but it just fails to connect in a truly long-lasting entertaining way.
40
Level7.nu
Yet another party game for the Wii. You'll get to take part in sports like frisbee golf, cricket, volleyball, soccer and American football. Precious few of these are any fun, and the overall experience lacks the polish you expect from a retail game. Steer clear of this one folks.

Official Nintendo Magazine UK
What a stinker. [Aug 2008, p.101]

Worth Playing
The truth is that Big Beach Sports manages to do a couple of things passably while doing absolutely nothing right. While the title boasts a solid lineup of events that really ought to be fun to play, there is simply no fun to be had with this game.
25
IGN
A true cash-in project that ignores some of the great control fundamentals laid down with Nintendo's game for an unintelligent waggle-and-win design.
20
PALGN
As satisfying as a sand-ridden shoe, without the fortunate side effect of having gotten some fresh air. Take a ball to the local seaside shingle instead.
20
PTGamers
This videogame tries to be successful by copying something already established, but the result is something dull, with very little reasons to exist.
