Our 5-year old son is OBSESSED with this show, so we promised the game to him when it came out. Happy to report he loves the game as much as the show. Would've liked it if it had somehow incorporated the Wii Balance Board as an optional item, but perhaps that would have increased the price, which WE were quite happy with ($29.95), considering most new Wii games are in the $39-49 price range.
It's nice that you have the option of 'interacting' with the other contestants, or skipping thru their turns entirely to speed things along. Also fun that the Johns and Jill become playable characters as well. Experienced gamers young & old may tire of this game quickly, but it's perfect for casual gaming families like ours, especially those with kids who love this show. |
Wipeout Game is Awesome!

| After reading the reviews of this, I wasn't expecting anything spectacular. Boy was I in for a surprise. The game is a lot of fun. M 6 year old loves the show, and is able to play the game without problems. There are plenty of unlocks and changes available to keep him interested after the initial newness wore off of the game. |
Tons of hilarious wipeouts!!!!!

| I bought this game online and couldn't wait for it to come. When we got it I couldn't put it down! It is very fun and quite amusing. Some times my brother watches for entertainment. Should I mention that we both love the show? There are some really weird obstacles such as, the dirty balls, the hoop run, and lost baggage. I wish the big balls were harder though. The harder the difficulty, the harder the obstacles. I also like throwing things at the other players. Overall, very funny and very fun. BUY IT!!!!!!!!!!! |
The kids can't stop playing it

| Right now this is my kids' favorite game. They love the TV show so a Wii Wipeout game is right up their alley. I've never heard them laugh so much while playing a Wii game. Tons of fun for children who enjoy the TV show. |
Oh that had to hurt!!!

| This game is awesome but it's a little glichy on the big ball portion of the course. I recomend this game for kids from 7 -14. I'm 11 and I just got it yesterday and I can't stop playing it. If you don't get this game you will be sorry. |
Wipeout!!!

| We've played this a few times now and love it. It makes us laugh like crazy (not as much as the show, but close). They really put effort in to making the wipeouts spectacular. A few of the challenges are impossible. We still haven't been able to make it through certain ones (not even close). And no instruction booklet or anything to give you clues on how to do some of them. But, it's still a blast. We love it! |
Good Family Fun

| I never write a review but have found others reviews to be helpful so I thought I'd write one on this WII game since there are so few I really enjoy playing. You will not be disappointed with this purchase. SO much fun to play, with adults and/or children!! |
