Parents need to know that All Star Cheer Squad 2 is a sequel to the 2008 cheer game. It is one of the best cheerleading games currently available on the market. Not just a "girly" game, this squad can consist of both boys and girls. Players can participate in the competitive sport of Cheer either cooperatively or by going head to head against each other. They can also create their own routines and mix music to go with them. This fun game combines traditional cheerleading moves with dance moves that get kids moving. This sequel offers more ways to use the Wii remotes and nunchucks, supporting up to four players playing cooperatively or competitively, two to a team. The Wii balance board may also be used, but this is really optional.
