Some of the tutorials do not explain fully the game or how to use the remote for all the things you should be able to do such as rolling the dice; I read the booklet that came with it and read the tutorial on the actual game and it did not tell you how to roll them but I finally had my son in law come over and we finally figured it out but once you get it all figured out, it has a lot of board games to choose from and most are enjoyable.
Rating: - Could have been so much better
This game could have been prettty good minus a few things. If you don't know how to play games like Backgammon, this game will allow you to play it, but you may not end up with a full understanding of HOW to play.
My second complaint would be that you can't create a profile that tracks your wins/losses and even things as simple as your name. You must type in your name EVERY time you play a different game for it to show up on the high scores list.
And finally, the soundtrack is annoying. Some womans voice keeps popping up saying something inaudible and it's really really annoying.
Rating: - Not what I expected ....
I can't express enough how disappointed I was. I had read the reviews and thought it sounded like fun. My mistake was not finding out which "classic board games" were included. Had I known, I never would've considered buying it. I assumed they would truly be classics, board games that families actually play. The graphics are terribly generic. I still like Wii Sports, Cross Bow Shooting & Brain Academy the best. This Ultimate Board Game doesn't remotely measure up. My younger kids liked the checkers, but it's difficult to get a hold of the game pieces. They also liked Battle Ship, although it lacks any challenge that the actual board game has. It's just not worth your time or money.
Rating: - ultimate Boring game collection
not much fun at all really...it is much more fun to play board games the old fashioned way...(the loser has to clean up the game, right?) there is nothing special or extra-zippy about these games, i thought they might have made them uber cool because they are for Wii...sorry to say it is not so....these are just your run-of-the-mill board games. i bought this because i thought it might be fun to play mahjong, and chinese checkers by myself....however, mahjong is just the very basic solitaire version with no advanced scoring..which means it's really just a glorified matching game. chinese checkers would be nice except for the fact that there is no way to turn the hints off, so you really don't have to think or strategize at hardly all...(aren't thinking and strategy the whole point of the game?) the battle ship-type game on it could have potential in the multi-player mode, as it is very fast paced and i can imagine it being fun at a family get-together. the word-find game is also o.k. i have played it a few times, though the letters are so small it made my brain rather numb i think. all in all, i would say it is not worth $30, you can get a used one for less though and not experience so much guilt that's induced by overspending on a semi-lame wii game. a $20 price tag (or less) would be worth it just to have 12 games in one collection i suppose.
one star for batle ship
one star for the word find game
one star for having 12 classic games on one disc

Annoying background music, but turn off the sound. Checkers is hard to get to hold on to the pieces and move. Also makes you use a jump even if you don't want to. Is nice to play sit down games instead of all the exercising.
