Wakeboarding is surprisingly fun as well: hold the Wii Remote in its classic orientation as you're pulled through the lagoon, swinging yourself back and forth along the boat's wake to gain air and perform tricks for points. It's fast and frantic, but the Wii Motion Plus gives players incredibly tight control over their position behind the boat.
Last year we saw and played the Jet Ski mode called "Power Cruising," and it's back in the final game. Hold the Nunchuk in one hand, the Wii Remote in the other, hold the A or B button to throttle up and steer the craft with tilts from both controllers as if you were holding the handle bars. To speed up, "rev" the Wii Remote and you'll get an extra jolt. The mode I played was a slalom course where you have to cruise under arches as a digital readout counts down. You earn the points on the readout as you drive underneath. Some arches have a second, smaller arch that rewards double the points.
Of course, the more games you have, the greater the odds for a dud. And in this case, it's cycling. You ride your bike around the island against 30 other cyclists, pedalling by thrusting the Wii Remote and Nunchuk up and down alternately. If you waggle too fast you'll wear out your character, but you'll also go faster if you draft behind other racers as well as get caught in a tailwind. Steering is handled through tilt of the Wii Remote. Did not like this mode all that much.
