"Forget the fitness titles! Grab your Wii Balance Board and head out on the water with Water Sports for Wii. Water Sports will recreate the feeling of Wakeboarding, Wind Surfing, and Kite Boarding. Keep the summer fun at the lake going all year round with the use of the Wii Balance Board.

Choose from locations around the globe filled with jumps and rails. Pull of some sick tricks while in Hawaii, or race your friends in Australia. In Wakeboarding the player will have the option for a co-operative mode where one player will drive the boat while the other player is on the Wakeboard!

Water Sports will prove to be one of the easiest games to play with the Balance Board, making it fun for all ages.

"Stand on the Balance Board and ride the waves across the globe! With simple controls, players will find high speeds in Watercraft racing, big jumps in Kite Boarding, and long rails in Wind Surfing.” said Gary Miller, GameMill Entertainment. "Water Sports will provide hours of family enjoyment"

Ok I'll reply to my own post Bought it, tried it and it's pretty lame - basic arcade type stuff. Looking at the credits for the game you'd think my Slavic bretheren (Ukrainian perhaps?) would be able to come up with a more realistic portrayal of our fine water sports but no. Perhaps more beer is required to enjoy the game...
