shit was hard back in the day
I remember watching Dazran303 play this game when I was younger! Now, 12 years later, with a [redacted] Wii in hand, I decided I wanted to try it out, finally. And man, is it a comforting game! It's basically like Wii Sports Resort but 100 times bigger. I think WSR has a lot more charm, but maybe that's just my nostalgia speaking. This game does have a lot of charm as well, so do try it when you get the chance! I can very much see myself getting sucked into Kawawii's comforting and beautiful atmosphere and spending my time searching for all the treasure chests, I know that for sure!
Basically open world Wii Sports, but the actual activities play more like simple minigames in the style of Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games. Overall it's okay (and I think if I played it when I was younger i would've liked it more), but it's clear they focused on quantity more than on quality. I would have preferred fewer but more polished activities.
Genuinely such a nice comfort game and they hid it in the Walmart Redbox
there is genuinely so much to do in this game. 4 player multiplayer, 4 different areas, like 50 different sports, treasure hunting, a fucking home decorating system?? also I can have my dog run around the island with me. awesomesauce
the breath of the wild of wii sports resort-esque games. yall slept on this one
So much childhood nostalgia! The endless roleplaying possibilities with friends made this game so much fun and one of my favorites back in the day. My childhood best friend and I still talk about the countless memories from Go Vacation :)
This game was awesome as a kid, very fun to explore and awesome theme song.
was fun.
The controls blow, the maps however are superb. I'm not a big remake advocate, but doing this with a big development team to make the world more interactable, have more detailed textures, and make some of the mini-games more complex, would be really dope.
Unlike GTA V this one made every area distinct and full of unique landmarks. I wiped my save and looked if I could find every hidden area in a single evening without hints and I did, because even after 10 years I still remember the layout.
Really makes you want to explore.
Doing stunts in the open-world should have an actual reward though.

when i was a kid i used to gaslight my sister into thinking the ufo easter egg in the villa area could lead you to a secret zoo area if you let it pick up the beachball
Was expecting Wii Sports Resort 2 but everything felt a bit meh.
Probably would've been better if I played it around when it came out.

i LOVED this game when i was little, i would skate around for hours and customise my character to my hearts content. i got so much fun out of this game even though i was achieving nothing. had a great time!
I actually begged my mother to essentially buy this off of Redbox, I fucked with this game so much. I still think about the snowball mini game to this day, and hope that the re-release holds up.
An amazing comfort game with so much to discover.
Banger, saved me from my snow days in high school
Wii sport resort ++++
why does this game kick so much ass
the game I think about when i want to get sad
I had a thousand characters created for friends and family. The house part was so entertaining I always made sure to have the best one, and would roleplay with friends HELP it was so much fun!!!! The landscapes were so crisp for its time too. I miss you Go Vacation
I've just seen the credits on Go Vacation (Wii) by collecting all stamps/badges for playing the listed activities once and achieving the specified requirement. Not all activities are listed in this mode, so there are some surprises waiting for me.
My opinion is that this is a really great game, and I say that as somebody who tried it back in the day and didn't like it coming off the back of Wii Sports Resort. Here we are a decade or so later and I have fresh eyes. I found it very enjoyable.
Tons of content, too! I still have so much more to unlock by revisiting the activities and trying to find the hidden things dotted about the island.
For example: Road Racing is one activity and the first time you encounter it you play one circuit race and have to come first. When you revisit it you may be surprised to see there are a further ~25 events: circuit races (road cars, indy cars), checkpoint races (road cars, motorbikes) & slalom races (motorbikes). For the road cars you can pick between compact, sports and exotic cars that all handle differently. This sort of detail applies to each of ~50 activities.
Comparing it to Wii Sports Resort: what this lacks in depth it makes up for in terms of breadth. Don't sleep on it.
Also, fwiw, compared to the Switch version the Wii version features more graphical effects, albeit at a lower resolution of 480p.

I got this as a gift years ago and hated it
La última gran obra de Martin Scorsese
A heavily underrated game, has a lot of fun minigames, the worlds are fun to run around, a lot of customization, and sometimes it is just nice to run around the world for a little bit to take in the sights.
Got it as a gift many years ago, and ever since then all I've done in this game is ski up and down the mountains, over and over... it's very soothing, somehow. a simple game from my childhood but very relaxing nonetheless
