Go Vacation

GO VACATION

If you've got Wii Sports Resort, then Go Vacation will ring a familiar bell.

With some of us lucky to live in areas where these activities can be accessed, if you're not, Go Vacation is not exactly the next best thing, but certainly a fun substitute.

Select your Mii character avatar (you've by now certainly created), and head on out to explore Kawawii island, with its Marine, City, Snow and Mountain resort areas, packing in over four dozen summer and winter related sports and activities, or you can simply explore the island.

Up to four players can enjoy tennis, horseback riding, golf, quad bikes, water-gun or light saber fights, arcade style games, puzzles, jet skis, scuba diving, white water rafting, surfing, skiing, skydiving, car racing, various extreme sports and loads more. As one would come to expect, there are challenges and the chance to collect items like stars and keys for more access to other content, and the more you play an activity, the more levels you get to access.

As you progress, you get to claim your own island villa and decorate it according to your taste. There's communication with other characters, and while this may all seem like a bit of The Sims, it is not as in-depth as that alternate world and focuses on the fun activities.

Most peripheral controls get incorporated via the extensive game options, from the Nunchuk to the steering wheel (which you may have if you picked up games like the MarioKart set), the balance board (popularized with Wii Fit) and gun attachments.

Don't expect full-on realism, but rather a fun cartoon-style experience the whole family can enjoy. What would be a shame is if you are in fact on vacation by the seaside and you crash indoors playing this! Save it for when the sun is down or when you're back home.
