‘Go Vacation’  is a fun game where you explore an island and play in all sorts of activities.  You start off where you are given directions to see which activity you are off to next.  There is riding a jetski, skydiving, surfing, swimming, horseback riding and more!  I thought the game would be a little cheesy but its actually fun and I think it would make a great family game!  You can play with up to four players but so far I have played on my own.  I actually think it is pretty relaxing, maybe it’s the island atmosphere that sucked me in or the different activities you can take advantage of.  After completing an activity you are given a stamp and then you are sent on your next mission!  I have only gotten through part of the game, but I can’t wait to keep going.  There really are tons of activities (or think of them as mini-games) you can play and also compete in.

BUY IT: Look for “Go Vacation” for the Nintendo Wii online or wherever video games are sold!
