(More customer reviews)This is a game for kids who dream of being a cheerleader or for "old kids" who didn't make the final cut for cheerleader and never got over it.It's one to add to the "Get up off the couch and move" list of Wii games and it's a way to get some very good exercise while having some fun.
I just got this today and have been playing with it for the last couple of hours.That's as long as I could play because by arms and shoulders are ready to fall off!This game really gives your arms a great workout and once I get better at it and can follow along with the foot movements it should be an all around great exercise game.(Walking and chewing gum at the same time can be challenging)There is also a "Work out" section that's has a choice of quick or extended exercise routines which involves a lot of footwork as well as the arms.That, BTW is a good way to practice getting the cheer moves down.
There's a Campaign Mode where you can compete with another person for team captain or Party Mode where you can play with up to 4 people and have your own squad. I probably won't be playing in those modes since most of my friends would think this 50-something woman had totally lost it if I asked them to come join my Wii cheerleading squad. (Why didn't they name the game "Wii Cheer"?
I like the music and the cheerleader characters are all bubbly and enthusiastic (perky?) which is good motivation to get moving.They're also chatty with recommendations and small talk, which you can hit the A&B buttons to skip if it gets old after a while.
I barely made it past failing after a couple of hours and that was on the easy songs.It's fun even when you don't hit every beat.I did improve by doing the routines over and over. I've found that watching the cheerleaders is the best way to stay on the beat.A good sense of rhythm helps. It seems to have enough different songs to keep it interesting and challenging.
I'm glad I bought it.It's big, big fun and anything that keeps me exercising for over 2 hours is a good thing.
Update 10/18/08 - Well it's almost 1:00 in the morning and I've been playing with this game for almost 3 hours after the rest of the household has gone to bed.I've been trying to clear more stages in order to unlock that song in the trailer, "Walking on Sunshine".I finally did it!This game has become a major addiction.
Also, the points scored in this game are based completely on arm movements (although it makes it easier to stick with the rhythm if you move around a little) so if you're hesitating about this game thinking it involves a lot of jumping around, doing back flips or the splits, not to worry.You could pretty much stand in one place and play this game.It's all in the wild flailing (and precision movements) of the arms.That said, you might want to keepyour drapes closed when playing so as not to confirm the suspicions of the neighbors that you are totally out of control.
Update 11/5/08 - If you're having trouble hitting some of the movements when it seems like you're doing everything right, and you're using an HD LCD TV, try going into the options menu and adjusting the timing.I ended up setting it a couple points down and this seemed to make all the difference.I think there might be a slight delay between the music and the display with some TV's and this seems to solve the problem, although I'm not really sure how this works.(Still loving this game!)
Update 11/4/09 - I just got the new We Cheer 2 and it's just as much fun as this one with some nice additional features.
