 It's alright Nov 26, 2006
This game is actually kind of fun and it DOES use the remote. The only set back to this game is the types of games that you must do each level. Most of them consist either of dancing (which is like a Dance Dance Revolution- hit the botton when the arrow is in the correct spot), swimming (which involves moving the remote in the direction that you want to swim and try to go through bubbles and rings), or sledding down hills (which is similar to the swimming challenges but you try to collect different objects). Overall this game was pretty fun but you would not want it ot be your only Wii game. It can get pretty boring after a while.

 Game Designers Must have Rushed Jan 13, 2007
By Lisa Shea
"medieval swordfighting enthusiast"
Happy Feet is a dancing penguin game, based on the movie. It tries to teach kids to respect their own talents even if they do not fit in with the crowd.
If you've seen the movie, you know the storyline. A little penguin is born, is named Mumble, and loves to dance. The other penguins want him to sing and don't appreciate his dancing skills. After ups and downs, all ends up happy and well.
The game progresses in a "move from dot one to dot two" style timeline, with you moving from task to task one after another. Each task can be replayed as many times as you wish to get the top score. There are several difficulty levels, so young kids can go through at easy, while older players can try the harder difficulty levels. It's no surprise if a gamer over age 7 does well on "easy" - the point of easy is that it is EASY and meant for very little gamers!
There are three main styles of gameplay. In one, you're waving the controller up, down, left and right in the Dance Dance Revolution style, along with disco hits such as "That's the Way I Like It (Uh Huh)". In the next, you hold your Wii controller sideways and use it to swim through the water, aiming for circles and other objects while breathing in bubbles. In the third, you're zooming down an icy slope, dodging rocks and gathering items. Cut scenes in between explain why you're doing a particular task.
I'm a fan of DDR, and I enjoy sports style games, so I would have thought this game would be generally appealing to me. However, the game is missing a creative spark. The levels all seem very similar to each other. When you're dancing, you get very little feedback on how well you're doing - if you do well, it doesn't seem to matter much. There's no energy to it.
I also really tried to have an open mind about the accents, but I found them bordering on offensive. It almost seemed that they were "trying to lure in the Hispanic gamers", but what they ended up doing is making numerous characters seem like Cheech & Chong, high on drugs, unable to speak a single sentence correctly. If I were a Hispanic mother, I doubt this is the sort of role model I'd want my children thinking was normal. It's very much like Jar Jar in the Star Wars story.
I do appreciate the general message - if you love to dance, and are good at dancing, don't feel badly when people put you down for not singing well. Shine at what you do best and love. With all the great game designers out there, and with the large budgets that movies get, I think they could have afforded to put out a better quality game to go with the message, that kids and adults would really enjoy playing. This just wasn't a best effort.

Pretty good (-: Dec 29, 2006
Pretty good game. I'm twelve, so I'm a little past the age group they're shooting for, but I still think It's pretty good. It's and awsome game for yunger children than me, but I still like it. It's pretty easy to beat (for me), but after that, I can go to family mode and dance against people, race down the icey slopes, and compeat to capture the most hearts in the water. It's a good game.

 Totally worthless Feb 16, 2007
By Anne E. Terres
"chibi_yoma"
This game is, frankly, terrible. My mother purchased this game for me and though I love her dearly this game is one of the worst I have ever played. My first thought when I started playing was "this is a third-party game if ever I saw one" and that feeling did not go away. The voices are terible the scenery is lazy the concepts and information fail but the biggest problem is with the under-water levels. Overall the levels are boring, I find myself sick of playing the "race down the mountain" levels before they are half over but if they are stupidly easy then the underwater levels are frustrating by design. As you swim through the water you steer Mumble the dysfunctionl penguin up down, right and left trying to get items and speed boosts, alas the camera angle swings from side to side and up and down as well so it is difficult at best to know where you should aim poor Mumble. I cannot imagine any little kid doing these undersea levels sucessfully and I cannot imagine any older child enjoying the rest of the game. It has no redeeming qualities that I can see. It is in no way worth your money.

Graphics are really awesome!! Dec 22, 2006
I have had the HAPPY FEET video game for awhile and so far is very,very easy! At first I thought it was just the beginning of the easiness. The graphics are very sweet. How can you resist little mumble? The wiimote use is executed very well! Allthough the levels do get to be boring after a while. Same three basic game modes. I beet the game in one hour on hard the whole way through. I saw the happy feet movie before playing the game and it was good! The game does a great job as making it practically like the movie with the gameplay. I reccomend this game for 5-9 year olds. Just don't waste $50.00 on this if you are over 9 years of age. Buy a different Wii game!
