    I've heard some good things about this game - is it really good or is it gimmicky? I'm looking for something that is as fun for a party as the Wii Sports but takes more skill to be good at (e.g. Sports is great but you're essentially only controlling the swing and not position in tennis, so if this was more challenging while still being fun I'd go for it).

    That said, it does sound like a good laugh so I'll probably get it either way, but can't find it in stock in any shops or online. Play.com say it will be dispatched when it arrives but give no ETA.

    It's pricey on ebay too, though I hate eBay cos of the hassle and crazy postage charges on most items so would only use it for a good bargain.

    Anybody know of anywhere that has it in stock?

    Where you based? Dublin? Reason I ask is it's hard to give advice if we don't know

    If you're in Dublin I saw it in Game in the Ilac Centre yesterday.

    The brother owns a Wii and it's a good game, best played with a group as with many Wii games. Worth buying!

    its good in multi but has one horrible flaw you have to complete it in single player to unlock all the games.

    takes about 2 hours to do that.

    over the course of the weekend away, checked every store that i came across that sells wii games from waterford to tralee and the only place who had a copy was game in limerick city. they had 3 other copies as of 5 this evening. had great crack earlier playing. doubt its a game you'd spend hours playing cos its fairly tough on the arms but myself and the missus had some good laughs at the faces each of us were pulling while playing
