There are different developers for the different games, but they all fall under the Go Play line of Wii games by Majesco. Go Play games are pretty much what they sound like: games that get players up and moving. But, there's another element, which I think is the best part, and that's bringing together families.

We only got to see City Sports, but the other two games — Lumberjacks and Circus Stars — looked just as fun and just as silly.

City Sports

In City Sports, players have the option to play six different types of street sports: Stickball, Kickball, Rooftop Hockey, Handball, Jump Rope and Shootout Soccer. You get the option to play with the balance board, but it's not necessary.

Play by yourself, or grab the family and play with a team of up to three others. You can play against each other or as a team.

The graphics for City Sports were definitely cartoony and had the look of something drawn with crayons in some places. It definitely fit the game, as did the sounds and music.

If you're a parent that grew up in a city, these games will definitely be familiar. Share your childhood experience with your kids by making City Sports a family affair. And if you're a kid living in a city and can't find enough people to play your favorite street game, City Sports is for you. The game is meant for anyone ages 8 and up, but if you have a younger child who wants to play, they could probably hop in if they're experienced enough with videogames.

Lumberjacks

If you've ever flipped to one of the obscure ESPN channels at just the right moment, you'll be somewhat familiar with the events in a lumberjack competition. That's what you get to do in Lumberjacks. We didn't get to see this game ourselves, though.

In Lumberjacks, you can use the Wii-mote and the balance board, but the latter is not necessary. The game also features Mii support and can support up to four players. There are five categories of gameplay — Sawing, Axe Throwing, Climbing, Chopping and Water Events — and each has their own minigames.

Players can earn new pieces of gear as their rewards and can eventually unlock their Mii. There are 15 unique characters from which to choose, including Jack the lumberjack, Jill the chainsaw-wielding beauty, a peg-legged pirate, ninja assassin and medieval knight. I suggested they toss in a zombie somewhere.

Lumberjack competitions in real life seem unique this day in age, but Lumberjacks has taken it a step further and made it even more unique. If you daydream about living the life of a lumberjack (or just want to see how a one-legged pirate fares in a log-rolling contest), or if you just want to spend time with your family with some silly fun, this game will be for you.

Circus Star

Again, we didn't get to see Circus Star, so I can't tell you what it looks like or how it plays, but I can tell you what it's about. Before you go running off to join the circus, grab a copy of this game and play 15 different circus-related minigames: Human Cannonball, Big Cat Taming, Juggling Excitement, Starry Magic, Trampoline Acrobatics, Tightrope Walking, Rola Bola, The Amazing Silks, Knife Throwing, Pie Dodging, Elephant Balancing, Pony Dancing, Mile-High Stunt Diver, Unicycle Rider and Trapeze.

The balance board also can be used during this game but is not necessary. You get to choose from six different characters, each with five different outfits. There are four different venues to play through, and each corresponds with difficulty levels. The crowd will react to your performance, whether good or bad. And the Ringmaster will guide you through it all.
