      This is a game for kids who dream of being a cheerleader or for “old kids” who didn’t make the final cut for cheerleader and never got over it. It’s one to add to the “Get up off the couch and move” list of Wii games and it’s a way to get some very good exercise while having some fun.

      I just got this today and have been playing with it for the last couple of hours. That’s as long as I could play because by arms and shoulders are ready to fall off! This game really gives your arms a great workout and once I get better at it and can follow along with the foot movements it should be an all around great exercise game. (Walking and chewing gum at the same time can be challenging) There is also a “Work out” section that’s has a choice of quick or extended exercise routines which involves a lot of footwork as well as the arms. That, BTW is a good way to practice getting the cheer moves down.

      There’s a Campaign Mode where you can compete with another person for team captain or Party Mode where you can play with up to 4 people and have your own squad. I probably won’t be playing in those modes since most of my friends would think this 50-something woman had totally lost it if I asked them to come join my Wii cheerleading squad. (Why didn’t they name the game “Wii Cheer”?

      I like the music and the cheerleader characters are all bubbly and enthusiastic (perky?) which is good motivation to get moving. They’re also chatty with recommendations and small talk, which you can hit the A&B buttons to skip if it gets old after a while.

      I barely made it past failing after a couple of hours and that was on the easy songs. It’s fun even when you don’t hit every beat. I did improve by doing the routines over and over. I’ve found that watching the cheerleaders is the best way to stay on the beat. A good sense of rhythm helps. It seems to have enough different songs to keep it interesting and challenging.

      I’m glad I bought it. It’s big, big fun and anything that keeps me exercising for over 2 hours is a good thing.

      Update 10/18/08 – Well it’s almost 1:00 in the morning and I’ve been playing with this game for almost 3 hours after the rest of the household has gone to bed. I’ve been trying to clear more stages in order to unlock that song in the trailer, “Walking on Sunshine”. I finally did it! This game has become a major addiction.

      Also, the points scored in this game are based completely on arm movements (although it makes it easier to stick with the rhythm if you move around a little) so if you’re hesitating about this game thinking it involves a lot of jumping around, doing back flips or the splits, not to worry. You could pretty much stand in one place and play this game. It’s all in the wild flailing (and precision movements) of the arms. That said, you might want to keep your drapes closed when playing so as not to confirm the suspicions of the neighbors that you are totally out of control.

      Update 11/5/08 – If you’re having trouble hitting some of the movements when it seems like you’re doing everything right, and you’re using an HD LCD TV, try going into the options menu and adjusting the timing. I ended up setting it a couple points down and this seemed to make all the difference. I think there might be a slight delay between the music and the display with some TV’s and this seems to solve the problem, although I’m not really sure how this works. (Still loving this game!)

      Update 11/4/09 – I just got the new We Cheer 2 and it’s just as much fun as this one with some nice additional features.

      I am a grown man who loves rhythm games. I played Dance Dance Revolution on Playstation for months. Then I played Stepmania on my computer for twice that. I am still playing Guitar Hero. My favorite “exercise” on Wii Fit is the stepping one.

      Given the empty space between Guitar Hero 3 and World Tour (Aerosmith doesn’t count since it blows), I bought this game. It’s GREAT and I LOVE it.

      The control takes a while to get used to but I find large, flowing movements are generally awarded. The songs are very upbeat. Given my age I absolutely hate the song “Come N Ride It(The Train)”, but now I love it since I cheered to it (strange that the opposite happened in Guitar Hero Aerosmith).

      The only complaint has nothing to do with the game play. Before and after each song are pep-talks that I just skip, but the loading time for them are a pain. Also, while I have a new-found respect for the athletic part of cheerleading, I still find cheerleader talk to be completely ridiculous. Every Oh. Em. Gee. makes me die a little inside. Like. For sure.

      I guess it would have been more socially acceptable for me to like this game if instead of cheerleaders these are all karate masters or something, but it’s no more self-delusional than dancing on a foam pad or playing a plastic guitar controller.

      I recommend this game to EVERYONE who have enough space in front of their wii to enjoy it to the fullest. I also recommend getting wrist and ankle weighs and turning this into a pretty respectable work-out.

      This game is by far the best WII game I have played. It is SO much fun! I played it for 6 hours straight yesturday, and so far today I have played it for 3 hours and Im not done yet! :D

      If you are into dancing, and stuff like that than you will like this game. I recommend it for ages 9 and up. For kids younger than 9 it might be a little to complicated. I am 15, and this game is my new obsession :)

      This game is excellent. I’m a 30 year old MALE, and no I’m not gay. I’m about as manly as you can get, and I have been into rhythm games since the Playstation 1 era (Guitar Freaks, Pop’N Music, Beatmania, etc.) and I own pretty much every music based game there is… I can say with a straight face this ranks among some of the most enjoyable. No lie.

      If you’ve ever played a Japanese rhythm game (before the craze finally expanded to the US) or even if you’ve played Dance Dance Revolution, this game brings an all new experience. The closest comparisons would have to be a mix of ParaPara Paradise and Ouendan (aka. Elite Beat Agents) but with 3D movements. Sure, the pretty-in-pink face it sports may throw you off, but if you can put your inhibitions aside, and have fun, then you’re in for a treat.

      Unfortunately, this game isn’t without its faults:

      1. It’s pretty unforgivable with its lack of allowing for mistakes.

      2. The in-game tutorial is awful, and will NOT prepare you for the brutally sharp learning curve. You won’t make it through about 1/2 of the songs the first/second/third time because you won’t have an idea of what certain motions the arrows are asking you to perform.

      3. It’s rather short once you get the hang of it (I beat it in two nights, approx. 10 hours) due to the small track list.

      However, for each of those faults, it is made up for by being extremely fun once you figure out what motions it actually wants you to perform. My wife makes fun of me every time I play it, but it’s worth it…lol.

      At $40 brand new, it’s a steal.

      BUY THIS GAME!

      First off…I’m a married man with two children and definitely in touch with my Y chromosome.

      That said, who would have thought I’d like cheerleading!?

      Well, this game, which I initially bought for my oldest daughter, has become a sensation and addiction for both my wife and I. It provides a fun workout for your arms (and if you have enough skills, your body). You will workup a sweat if you do this game with vigor.

      The music is great, and even songs which might have otherwise annoyed me, I’ve found have worked their way to my Ipod.

      My daughter is 6 1/2 at the time of this writing, and I’d have to say the game is much too difficult for her. Its hard for an adult, or at least one who isn’t a natural dancer/cheerleader. I’d put this game at just right for those over 11, but it has a steep learning curve as you try to learn what the arrows mean. Easier to just watch what the cheerleader on screen is doing and try to mirror it. This may be difficult however if she turns her back to you, because if you do the same, you’ll have to look over your shoulder to get the next move correct.

      The game is very (overly)sensitive to mistakes, so you will find some frustrations as it tells you you screwed up when you really think you were on target. I took 1 star off the overall review over this issue, because I think this is a real problem.

      Great party game!

      11/6/08 – small update. Well, I came home from work and my daughter surprised me by showing how she could beat the C’mon N’ride it routine on easy level, after working on it a while. So, with patience and practice, seems a 6 to 7 year old with good self-control can succeed at it.
