    Six simple sporting events that will provide some fun for the summer. [Issue#24, p.76]

    As it is Big Beach Sports will provide some fairly limited, short term fun, but when available for less than £20 maybe that's not such a bad thing.

    Don't expect anything taxing but there's just enough content to make this a worthwhile multiplayer title for the younger gamer. [Aug 2008, p.62]

    This is a game that had potential, but that potential was not fully realized. The game is not terrible, especially in a multiplayer setting, but it just fails to connect in a truly long-lasting entertaining way.

    A cheap shoddy cash in.

    This videogame tries to be successful by copying something already established, but the result is something dull, with very little reasons to exist.

    This game has everything the family could want from a Wii title; the game is assessable to the younger audience while retaining lots of depth for the more hardcore gamer - the hours will literally fly by whether it is playing 1-4 player Volleyball or the Surprisingly brilliant Bocce
    Not to mention the brilliant create a player feature, that ALMOST makes up for the lack of Miis, and 18 holes of Frisbee golf!    … Expand

    Good effort... way better then Deca Sports... not as addictive as Wii Tennis or Bowling though. But Cricket, Bocce & Volleyball are extremely Good effort... way better then Deca Sports... not as addictive as Wii Tennis or Bowling though. But Cricket, Bocce & Volleyball are extremely well done... (American) Football only being 2-v-2 is boring, Disc Golf is too easy (birdie or better every hole on first try), and (Soccer) Football is the worst of the bunch. Single player is thin, but fun as multiplayer games.… Expand

    Another cheap nearly Wii Sports shovelware game. The only difference is you can make a character on the DS which is pretty heckin' sick!Another cheap nearly Wii Sports shovelware game. The only difference is you can make a character on the DS which is pretty heckin' sick! Cricket, Volleyball and Disc Golf were probably the ones I enjoyed with my friends the most, but all the others are pretty lacking. There is also a Geico shirt, which is pretty cool. Way better than Deca Sports though, that game makes me mad.… Expand
