Well - this game is a better than I first thought.
The skiing events are pretty good. The motion controls are quite responsive. It is hardly the most challenging game on Wii, but it is good family fun. Some of the events are pretty blah, but the game has its moments.
There are also Dream events that ape Mario and Sonic world themes and level design with the olympic events. EXP - Mario kart downhill with items, Sonic Green Zone downhill.
Balance Board is also used - it is not as ambitious as the lean and tuck of the first Wii Fit but it is nice and responsive. Simple, but maybe that aint all bad.
And you can customise miis with outfits and suit bought form the game store. That is actually a pretty nice touch.
