Well I decided to rent this game before I bought it.
I brought it home and I put it in. At the beginning I started with the missions thinking they were some sort of story mode or something and found was just basically a couple games for each player, so I moved to single games and began learning how to play some.
Running was fun, and added hurdles gives a little more challange, pretty easy if you can read the instructions like my little brother who just skipped them and lost badly.
Swimming was easy once you figured it out. Pretty much have to hit a certain button when your heart gets low and you will do fine. I thought was hard until I figured that out and now win every one in first place, and when you swim in a team it gets more challanging because your teammates might have a diff swim style then you used to.
Shooting is a piece of cake as long as you can keep your crosshairs large and not have them shrunk by missing the little begining task.
Fencing is real fun
But in my opinion the hardest game to get the hang of at first is table tennis, but even that was easy to learn after playing a little
The bad side about the game is playing it for hours your hands and arms get so sore that you can hardly play anymore for at least a day. All the games but like 4 or 5 have you moving the control and nunchuck as fast as you can. Your wrist will begin to get sore after awhile.
But apart from playing sores and sometimes a little frustrated first experience at a event, the game is pretty fun. But I found it fun to play alone only long enough to unlock all the games then to just have as much fun with them all with others that you can. Pretty much once all games are unlocked all I wanted to do was challange friends and family.
AAA+++

This game gives your arms cramps rather quickly because you are constantly moving the remote/nunchuk in repetitive movements to make your character run, throw something, run and jump. Every sport is a new challenging move, but it's still pretty lame to me. It's great if you like a quick game, and I mean quick... and you like to try and try again.

I had this game 1 day before I sold it on ebay. My family thought this would be a fun game but it was very boring.

The game is ok. My kids ages 9 and 7 like some of the events, but after the newness wore off-about 40 minutes, they haven't picked it up again.
