We like the balance board support and it is pretty logical. I do think they put a lot of effort into making it a simulation vs an arcade game. They would have done a little better if they'd have provided more base-customizations... but it was 2006 and noone knew better back then. It is hard though... so you have a game that needs late pre-teen or early 20's coordination with an early pre-teen storyline--feels bolted on. No voiceovers or other fancy things. For arcade-fun, the nintendo olympics is better (the arcade action in that title gets boring fast though), but this really prioritizes coordination and control over arcade-type-action you get from other titles. We like it for the replay/skill value and it gets a lot of replay... because it is more workout/coordination than time-wasting arcade action.
