    I enjoyed cricket way more than I thought I would, hitting one for six was quite satisfying. Volleyball is a blast with 4 players (hint: check out the advanced controls). Disc golf actually felt like I was throwing a disc.
    All in all, a good casual game for when you have friends over.

    This is really fun game. Frisbee golf is boring, i cannot understand anything about American Football, but other sports are pretty fun. Beach Volley is extremely enjoyable, jus as bocca. Cricket and Football (Soccer) are not the best, but still interesting.

    This game is not good at all. I sold my Wii because of this.

    Definitely not the most in depth game, but for the price it is one of the best bang for your buck party games out. Soccer is lacking, and cricket is surprisingly fun.

    Great game to play with friends or fam. Similar to wii sports. It would be a perfect game for me if could have used mii's.

    Get the mates round, crack open a beer and enjoy. Whilst not the most in depth game just enjoy it for what is - sports at the beach. And what can be wrong with that?

    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.

    The game starts out well and interesting, but quickly, very quickly, becomes rather boring . With only 6 somewhat repetitive games to choose from, you really cannot play this for too long before it just gets boring.

    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.

    Not even SLIGHTLY fun, If you want a fun multiplayer minigame collection, this game Isn't it.

    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]

    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.

    The production values and overall presentation certainly fit this cut-rate title, and you'll soon get bored if you're playing alone.
