    Could be the laser in your Wii going. The lasers are really poor quality. Ifit starts to go even games with very light scratches won't work. I'd try some other games and see if they will work and also bring the game back to the shop and demand a refund, you should be able to get one and you are entitled to one and also the game is really bad, you are better off without it.

    Could just need a clean - had the same problem with mine about 2 years ago, it only happened with a handful of games (mainly Guitar Hero 3). In the end had to softmod to get a DVD playing application so I could run a DVD cleaner through it. Haven't had any problems since I did that though. Since then, Nintendo have released a drive cleaner disk so you can clean it without resorting to warranty-endangering practices, might be no harm to pick one up.

    Ah, but kids like it. It is terrible, with awful, frustrating controls but despite all that, my 5 and 7 year old love it. I would pull my hair out if I had to play it, its bad enough watching but there you go. They want the follow up to it from Santa (who sadly, is obliging), please god they have done something to improve it.
