Perfect for Most Ages
Seriously, why eight? I was playing worse games than this measly one at six and yet I somehow managed to turn out alright. Seriously it is whenever the parent feels it is ok for the kid to be able to responsibly handle playing a Wii without throwing the remote. This game barely has any violence, and as much as overconcerned parents want to take these games away from their children they need to understand that there will always be some violence in the world that you cannot protect your kid from. The swordfighting is ok because most children do it with things anyway and better them take out their frustration on the game than on someone else. And what about Miis is inapropriate?

Easy to play, appealing to everyone and overall great for the whole family
This game is simple and fun for the entire family. We actually got the game because I enjoyed playing it so much when we tried it out on the in-law's wii. But the wonderful thing about it is that has appeal for everyone and is simple enough that even younger kids can play yet challenging enough that adults will find it fun as well. One of the great things about this game is that there are LOTS of games within the game itself and most all of them are fun and value-added (with a few exceptions depending on what you enjoy). Just the airplane flying alone will provide hours of fun for anyone in the family. One thing to note is that some games (such as the airplane game) only allow one player while most of the other games can be played by yourself or with multiple players. You must have a special add-on for your remote that makes it more sensitive for each remote being used, though. So it can get quite expensive if you want the entire family to play. That said, I think the remote can be shared on some games (such as frisbee golf or bowling). This game is a big hit in our house and my husband turns of the playstation occasionally to play this instead. I definitely recommend it for all ages.

We got this for our family with two children, 2 & 4. While the littlest one can't play it, she loves to see her Mii on the TV and identifies all our Miis. Our four-year-old loves the flying games, frisbee, table tennis and sword fighting. He's also doing the archery, basketball and golf. The one he really has a tough time with is the wakeboarding, but it's a great way to teach him to persevere and keep trying to learn something new. We focus on being a gracious winner and a good loser and I think he has learned a lot. Whenever he plays, we play with him so he's only playing a few times a week, but I think that's plenty.

Both my 5yr old and 8 yr. old love this game!
I have been searching for Wii titles that my non-gamer kids would like and could pick up quickly. This is the one that has stood out. Swordplay, wakeboarding, ping pong and archery are their favorites. All are easy to learn and engaging. Their friends love playing as well. The game does have some duds though. Namely, jetski slalom, rowing and cycling. Not much fun here. The other downside is that you have to purchase another Wiiremote "add-on" to play two players. So total cost can exceed $80. If you have the original Wii system.

Ehh...Its alright, but is basically recycled content with extra addons.
Nintendo, I want new, interesting games for the Wii, and that's what you promised to the world when the Wii came out a few years ago. But now...we see the Wii has turned into something of a child's toy with a limited library of kiddish games, and very few good ones. Again, if you want real exercise, your going to have to go out and do it yourself. Video games were meant to relax and unwind from the day, not to waggle you hand around in the air like a air traffic controller covered in bees. This game is fun for kids and those who didn't spend a lot of time trying the included Wii Sports game. Otherwise, it is not worth it for those over 12+. Please, release some decent game for the Wii, Nintendo (other than Brawl or Metroid Prime 3).

Healthy and Fun!
This game promotes exercise and kids need to start exercising early in life so they learn the importance of it! Your children will have fun while staying fit! Adults will also love this game, it's a great workout!

A fun time with pretty fun controls
This is a fun game for the whole family. Specifically the airpline flyover, table tennis, basketball, swords. Yeah, this isn't hard core gaming or anything, and for less sophisticated gaming controls it can be frustrating for kids. My 3 year old handles no problem, my 6 year old has a hard time. But it's fun and worth trying out.

Great game to get the whole family having fun!
Everyone in my family loves this game. It has a great mix of games which use thinking, dexterity, reflexes, coordination, stamina or speed. If you get tired of any one area you can try different levels or games.

Great Wii game for everyone
This is a really great game for the whole family. We played this at home with my mom ("grandma"), 9 year old and myself - my mom scored the highest at bowling and she never plays video games! My son struggled with the game some because the directions are written on the screen and he struggles with reading so he ignores written directions. Some of the games we have had to try a couple of times before we caught on to how to play. However, it is a lot of fun and people can play against one another.

With boy/girl twins, it's hard to find a game they both can play together - this is it! A lot of fun for parents to play too.

play may be a bit difficult for the really young (less than 5)
Great activities. The sword fighting or fencing might be an issue for some, but all characters are wearing pads and helmets, so it's clear you aren't injuring anyone. My kids enjoy the plane flying, archery and fencing the most, and they are fun for adults too. The planes can be used to 'dogfight', but balloons play a large role in the targets, and no characters are hurt.
