Go Vacation

Product Information

It’s also worth bearing in mind that most already had Wii Sports, and anyone eager for more would have also bought Wii Sports Resort in 2009, meaning Go Vacation was trying to enter homes that most likely already had at least two sporting mini-game titles in their library.

Playing with other players to explore, find the chests, and making use of the huge open world space by racing to spots on the map or playing tag, is awesome! Some reviewers, however, praised the customizable villas; Craddock, in his review of the Switch version, compared them to the house customization mechanics of the Animal Crossing series. It isn't actual online gameplay, but it's still online features, so it has the boilerplate about requiring Nintendo Online account and everything else that a true online multiplayer game would have.Replaying mini-games on harder difficulties can also earn you keys, which can be used to unlock new furniture at your villa. In addition, there are regular challenges but also gifts such as special costumes or dogs of a wide range of breeds. Reviewing the Switch version, Koopman criticized the game for not properly informing the player that more activities and modes can be accessed in the individual minigames after the first playthrough of said minigame. In reviewing the game's soundtrack, Don Kotowski said the vocals in some of the music are "cheesy" and tend to "be a huge distraction that really hampers my enjoyment of the album".

Minigames range from outdoor activities such as kayaking and horseback riding, to activities one might find in a city, like table hockey and minigolf.The activities themselves turn out to be the biggest let-down, however, with each one feeling like an undercooked version of things we’ve seen countless times before.
