  1. Cheat Code Central

    Serves up a lot of gameplay for your $30 dollars. None of the events come quite close enough to holding their own as stand-alone games, yet they succeed as a part of a substantive sports package.
  2. The New York Times

    Winter Sports pulls off the omnibus sports game effortlessly, with intuitive, responsive controls and effective, distinctive design for each sport.
  3. Game Informer

    It’s an evolution, for sure, but not an entirely exciting one.
  4. Gaming Target

    Nevertheless, the usually timed Winter Sports: The Ultimate Challenge is an okay rental choice if you’re looking for brief, sporty mini-games based on Olympic events and aren’t keen on Mario & Sonic lighting your torch.
  5. GameTrailers
    47
    With awkward control schemes, modes that don’t differentiate from one another, and a bleak overall look, it pales in comparison to similar games in the genre.
  6. GameSpot
    45
    If the wait for the 2010 Winter Olympics is killing you, this ho-hum collection won't make time go by any quicker.
  7. Game Revolution
    25
    Unlike most other mini-game collections, multiplayer seems like an afterthought instead of a primary focus.

    It is a shame that one of the best games on the Wii is the hardest to find. This game gives you everything you would expect from an olympic It is a shame that one of the best games on the Wii is the hardest to find. This game gives you everything you would expect from an olympic game collection and overall it is better than the Mario and Sonic Olympic game. One reason is because winter sports lend themselves to the Wii. In other words the controls make sense and work well. Downhill sking is by far the most fun and is worth the price alone. Cross Country skiing is also surprisingly fun. Why can't they just make these games online enabled?… Expand

    This game was a major waste of money. The controls are weird and the game experience is purely frustrating.
