 Worth a good look July 4, 2008

As someone that still thinks that Wii Sports is the best game on the Wii so far I'm probably not the best person to write a review .. But all the same I will
I have a 4 y/o grand son and a wife that hates games consoles but BOTH love Wii Sports and the fact that it doesn't take a lot to get good at the game and also you can have a laff while doing so - in fact my wife has still only lost once to me at bowling.
So - I digress - I saw this and thought cricket, soccer, American Football, Volley Ball (alas no sign of nubile females in skimpy bikinis) etc. can't be all bad so bought it on a whim and have not regretted it -
If yr a hard core gamer (why did you buy the wii :-)?) this is not for you - but if you're a family person looking for a few hours (our first foray was for four hours) - then this is a game for you
The music plinks along and drives you mad - you are not totally sure if you really have control at all times - but it is GREAT FUN!!! which after all is what I bought the Wii for -
This is definitely one of those games that you will bring out on a rainy afternoon - or at the end of a Saturday after a good meal and way too much wine and all will enjoy
Gameplay is fun - graphics are fine - the mixture of sports and ways of playing are very interesting
Best of all - within a few minutes you'll be having fun - so what if you lose your first beach cricket match - it's like real golf for the most of us - you'll enjoy the fact that you did score a six into the sea and ended up with -38 runs :-) (kinda like a par on the 4th and a round of 130)
So - honestly - if you have a Wii - play it like me - now and again - then this is probably a great game to have for family and friends that don't come around that often but will enjoy a game that has immediate results and doesn't take an age to learn or require hours of intense concentration to get to the end.
Only 4 stars - well would of been 5 but the music really does drive you insane :-)
Hope this helps

Lot's of fun, if you don't have sun and sand nearby June 28, 2008

I bought this game because it contained a cricket game. Admittingly it is only beach cricket, but given the lack of a decent cricket game on the Wii, it is more than adequate. If you are familiar with the Kwik Cricket version played in UK schools, then you'll find this exactly the same except it being on the beach.
Positives: All the games are a lot of fun for the whole family and learning the basic skills are pretty easy. Worth the money spent.
Negatives: Does not have Mii support. the music can get a bit irritating (but can be turned off).
At last. Wii players have a form of cricket included. June 28, 2008

Fed up with playing cover-drives in Wii Sport's baseball, bowling like it's cricket?
Well now we have a game of cricket. It's a start!
Yes, cricket is featured amongst the other beach sports. Bowl a spiner or hit a shot into the sea for a six. It's good fun and great for children.
The other games are good too. Nice to see out British Football on there with American Football!! Everything is beach, everything is colourful and hot!
So poor yourself a large glass of Tequila and become the next Graham Napier!
One day we will have full cricket for our favourite console but in the mean time, have fun, get a tan and stay on the beach!
good fun game July 2, 2008

my sister brought me this for my birthday and i have found it really good. The first thing you need to do is create a character which is nice and easy. You can then also connect to a nintendo DS to draw the facial features for your player which is great fun!
There are 6 games on big beach sports which is just a nice amount. They are asy to play but enjoyable.

I am so disappointed with this game!
1.) Does not support the Mii! what is the point then??
2.) Really outdated graphics, I thought it would at least match Wii sports.
3.) Terrible timing, does not seem to register 40% of the movements.
4.) Poor camera angles make it difficult to play as well, especially for the volleyball.
5.)Do we really need so many sub menu???
Overall, I am really sad that I can't give this more stars.
Try another game.
