  This game is very low quality and not very fun at all. There are only 6 games and they are so boring. I really can’t imagine that anyone would like this game. It is the worse game I have seen for the Wii and I am taking it back to the store now. OMG it’s just awful!

  This game is complete garbage. The graphics look like N64 quality and the controls themselves are both sloppy and unresponsive. I have no idea why Mars would license such a poor quality game. I would give this zero stars if possible

  Frustrating! Bizarre! Cheap! Confusing! Junk!

  Wait … beyond junk. It’s bizzare in how bad it is. The controls are so bad I actually hurt myself. The graphics are cheap and crappy. The on screen instructions are even worse than the game play. The interface was confusing.

  Only two games are slightly playable, skeet ball and ring toss. My son, who is 7, did enjoy these two for about 5 minutes only because it was a game we could play together but I highly doubt he will ever want to play it again because the graphics are so bad. Instead we will go back to Wii Sports bowling and Wii Play fishing.

  The volley ball game is UNPLAYABLE, very complex and just bizzare. Just try serving, go ahead try it! Then try hitting the ball after serving, button A+upswing to set, button B+down swing to hit, shake the control like crazy to do a super spike. Now do this all in about 2 seconds. No? couldn’t do it? We gave up on this game mid-way. So back to Wii Sports Tennis.

  And how about that kayacking? Can you even tell what is meant by the Wii remote icon over all 4 players, even though two players are CPU players. And occassionally the Wii remote icons will turn into a Red X, even over the CPU players. I guess those CPU players’ Wii remote lost their signal. Back to ANY Wii racing game I ever played (Wii Play cow race, Wii-ware racing games)

  Oh and what was it with multi player mode? You pick multiplayer and you are shown 4 boxes with two Wii remote icons in each with no explaination. Ya that makes PERFECT sense to me.

  The controls are so horrible and unresponsive, this lack of response will make you swing, flick harder and harder. This caused my arms to hurth. No really hurt. All the crazy movements I do with Wii Sports boxing, or Wii Fit boxing NEVER hurt my arm. Yet M&M volleyball hurht my arm like a Little League pitcher who threw too much during a season.

  This game did do one good thing, it made me appreciate all the great Nintendo titles suchs as Sports, Fit, Sports Resort, Mario Super Sluggers. I longed for those games as my wrist and armed hurt from over flicking.

  I wish there was such a thing as a no star rating because I would have given that. We did get it for free as someone else was going to donate it to Salvation Army. I may help this game continue it’s journey to Salvation Army, however this posses a moral delima to me. Can I, a fan of video games, contribute to the life span of this bizzarely horrible game? No I can not, I think I shall have to destroy this disc. I just imagine the look of excitement on a child’s face as she sees this game waiting for her, only for her to realize she’s been ripped off. Ripping off children is as low as it gets in my consumer book, DONT DO IT!

  Don’t buy this or any other M&M titles unless Mars Co. post an open letter of appology explaining that it was an executive’s 5 year who programed this thing, and he is now fired and being sued by the company. In fact I DEMAND an explaination. This is one brand that I will NEVER buy a game from again.

  I bought this hoping that my 4 year old would be able to play it. Some of the games she can, but overall it’s not very good.

  She can play the kayaking race game (and actually beat the rest of us the first try with it). And she can play the paint-the-M&Ms shooting gallery game. The skeeball game is also okay.

  The beach volleyball game is ridiculously complicated. My wife and I couldn’t figure it out.

  Overall, the graphics quality is poor with very little detail. We also had the game lock up on us several times, once so bad that the only way to fix it was to unplug power from the Wii console and plug it back in again.

  I bought this game and played it before I read the reviews on here. I’m glad I did! This is one of the least expensive Wii games I have found and I think you get your money’s worth. True, it only has six games and a few of them are not very fun. However, the “paintball” game is the best Wii game I have played so far! Just that game alone is worth the money, in my opinion. My four-year-old boy likes it, too; he has a blast doing the kayak races. Overall, this is a simple and colorful game good for all ages. For under [...], it’s an inexpensive game that is worth adding to your Wii collection.

  My 6 year old son used his birthday money to buy this game. It was $15 so I thought it would be worth it. Boy was I wrong. This game is absolutely terrible. I feel bad that he even spent his money on it. I couldn’t get the volleyball to even work and every other game is a waste. Don’t waste any money on this game. We did not buy this game from amazon

  I should have known since I bought this at Big Lots that it was going to be a disappointment. It was my first game for the Wii my parents got me for Christmas. As an avid M&M-aholic, I thought it would be fun to play. There is a huge delay on the ring toss between the time you move your arm and it actually happens on the screen. The skeeball also seemed to be off, and I couldn’t even figure out how to get to the kayak part, which is what I really wanted in the game. I wasn’t so much disappointed with the graphics as I just was with the overall game itself. Should have read the reviews here first.
