5 Stars Exceeded expectations
I am a grown man who loves rhythm games. I played Dance Dance Revolution on Playstation for months. Then I played Stepmania on my computer for twice that. I am still playing Guitar Hero. My favorite “exercise” on Wii Fit is the stepping one.
Given the empty space between Guitar Hero 3 and World Tour (Aerosmith doesn’t count since it blows), I bought this game. It’s GREAT and I LOVE it.
The control takes a while to get used to but I find large, flowing movements are generally awarded. The songs are very upbeat. Given my age I absolutely hate the song “Come N Ride It(The Train)”, but now I love it since I cheered to it (strange that the opposite happened in Guitar Hero Aerosmith).
The only complaint has nothing to do with the game play. Before and after each song are pep-talks that I just skip, but the loading time for them are a pain. Also, while I have a new-found respect for the athletic part of cheerleading, I still find cheerleader talk to be completely ridiculous. Every Oh. Em. Gee. makes me die a little inside. Like. For sure.
I guess it would have been more socially acceptable for me to like this game if instead of cheerleaders these are all karate masters or something, but it’s no more self-delusional than dancing on a foam pad or playing a plastic guitar controller.
I recommend this game to EVERYONE who have enough space in front of their wii to enjoy it to the fullest. I also recommend getting wrist and ankle weighs and turning this into a pretty respectable work-out.
4 Stars More Fun than an Adult Should Have
We Cheer
Ok, please don’t say anything, but this game is COMPLETELY CHEESY FUN! I’m a complete grownup, with A Real Job, a 6-year-old son, and A Real Life. But this game lets your inner Cheese come out. I’m enjoying the Workout feature as well as trying to complete the actual routines.
The only very slight drawback is that once you pick a person, you can’t change it once you go beyond the initial screen. So choose carefully!
Even a decent selection of songs.
Takes a bit of getting used to holding the controllers up & down while moving around, but it’s not too bad.
Great fun—but don’t tell my coworkers, k?
5 Stars A winner
This is a great game, but it does have a learning curve. I was almost ready to give up after several failures, but after lots of practice combined with tips gleaned off the internet, I caught on and started passing. I’ve now passed all the stages and I’m hooked on this game! This plus Active Life Outdoor Challenge and Helix have really brought my Wii back to life.
The game’s biggest problem IMO is that the directions and tutorial don’t do it justice. First, READ the manual. Unlike most video game manuals that are mainly ad copy plus warnings not to play Wii in the bathtub, the We Cheer manual explains how the “championship” mode works (passing the stages and unlocking songs). Two other points that will help you succeed:
– Mirror the cheerleader! Don’t just focus on the lines, like in Elite Beat Agents. Try to copy her arm movements as if you’re doing an exercise video. Even following her body will help, like kneeling on the ground, twirling and jumping. Get ready to sweat!
– This game is 3-dimensional. In other words, you’re not just tracing lines on an imaginary wall in front of you; you also need to move your arms forward and back and around your body. Watch for when the cheerleader turns to one side, makes swimming motions, hand rolls, hands on hips or puts her hands behind her head; follow along exactly and you’ll score! This game really picks up on exactly where your hands are and what direction they’re moving. Make big, hard, sharp motions just like a real cheerleader.
The workout mode, like another reviewer noted, is a good way to practice and is a real hoot. A fat boy asks you to make him over, and at the end of the workout (2 minutes or 4 minutes long) he becomes a thin “after” picture and presents you with a uniform. The moves are very simple, like squats and step-touches. I just wish you could select a song from the songlist rather than listening to generic music. Speaking of the songlist, it is awesome! It’s so great to hear original hits by original artists instead of cover versions.
We Cheer has only a few minor technical flaws. Once a song starts, it has to play all the way through; you can’t pause or fail out or abort or even go back to the Wii menu. (That doesn’t really bother me, but I know others will complain.) Loading times are a bit long, and I wish there was some way to get rid of the “how to hold your remotes” screen (which comes up even if you repeat a song!) and the instructor afterwards telling you how you did.
I really hope enough people have enough patience with We Cheer to make it a hit and a series like DDR or Guitar Hero. For the sequel, it would be fantastic to have multi-song courses or some way to program your own courses. The E-10 rating seems appropriate; younger kids may be frustrated with the skill level of this game. But if you’re a grownup, We Cheer may turn you into a kid again. Whooo!
5 Stars Cheerleading Dream Come True
Simple interface, great songs, excellent up-to-date dance moves– no sexual gyrations, either, but clean cheerleading moves! What a workout! I’ve bought cheerleading dvds that weren’t this well choregraphed or half as much fun to dance too. You can use it with only one Wii Remote too. Full body range of motions. Takes time, like any routine to learn; challanging but you don’t notice you’re working out becuase the music is so great. Moves seem to have the perfect timing between too slow to keep interest and too hard to learn – so perfect rythum for long-time enjoyment. What I love about this is they didn’t dumb it, or slow it down so your bored, and you use your whole body in it, with jumps and spins. You’re going to ‘fail’ at first, no doubt, but it’s not too hard to learn, and the moves progress upon each other, which builds confidence so you can master speed. Total, rocking non-stop workout, makes you feel like you should have been on the cheer squad. Great for adults and kids a like, 100% fun!
48 hr update: using one wii remote is absolutely doable, it’s better than not having the game at all, but I find myself totally favoring the arm holding the remote, while the other arm loses beat constantly. It’s natural because with only one remote plugged in you only see arrows directing you on screen for one side.
Tips:
-This game is really HUGEMONGEOUS range of motion. Giant! You can whip yourself around, do kicks, spins, sky’s the limit; or you can be very controlled with a limited range and not wild at all. No nunchuck is used so, your arms can fly, wind-mill in all directions.
- The key to clearning stages is to DANCE to the beat. If you can’t get the sharp cheerleading motions up to speed (this is some serious chrography, not difficult, but long combinations put together that are sharp and quick, and take time to master) just dance and shake the remotes on BEAT. Stare at the pompoms, keep your feet still and mirror their directions like a robot and you’ve got a decent shot of clearning if you’re stuck and can’t legitimately dance you way thru it. I cleared the first 4 easy stages this way, and two of the next leveled ones.
- To actually learn the routines to perfection, try turning off the thin or fat guiding lines that swirl around the screen and just use the ‘star’– and then ignore the star (the least invasive of the guides) and pretend you’re in a dance class and DO the moves to the best of your ability; fumble around, fall, feel silly, and repeat repeat repeat and til you got it down! Doing the *precise* full body range of motion moves won’t give you a great score for a very long time, but it is a way to *learn* the wonderfully indepth routines (meaning they don’t last only 25 seconds! You get a good half song! Which is generous for almost any dance dvd much less a dance game. They usually give you all of 35 seconds in learn-to-dance dvds, but most of these are a minute and a half approx.)
-I really sweat. This is on par with a serious dance class if you can nail all these moves in difficult, you’re a homegrown superstar.
- One last tip for this update – the moves are cheerleading moves mixed with dance. When we dance on a dance floor we don’t do sharp, snapping moves that return to a center position. You really need to get your almost-robot groove on, thinking in a constant ‘return to center, keep the moves sharp’ mentality because cheering is different than say just a freestyle ddr motion. You catch on quick tho!
5 Stars The best WII game yet!
This game is by far the best WII game I have played. It is SO much fun! I played it for 6 hours straight yesturday, and so far today I have played it for 3 hours and Im not done yet! 
If you are into dancing, and stuff like that than you will like this game. I recommend it for ages 9 and up. For kids younger than 9 it might be a little to complicated. I am 15, and this game is my new obsession
