09-08-2025I am a 30-year-old former gymnast, and lifetime gymnastics fan. I would probably have payed $50 to try this game - but I didn't have to! It's not perfect, but it's really fun, and rather addictive. It is all based on action prompts, so be sure you like that style of game.One of my favorite parts of the game is the Routine Creator, where you get to decide what moves your gymnast will do in their routine. I thought this was just going to be an "extra" in the game, but you actually have to create routines of certain difficutly levels (and perform them) to advance. There are some odd repetitions that would not happen in a real gymnastics routine, but a lot of the moves look really good.(One side note - they brought back the Perfect 10 for this game! Yahoo!!)Some of the physics are off, especially on bars, and Shawn looks nothing like Shawn - they could have spent a little more time on that. I have seen a few glitches, and agree with the earlier review that there are some translation issues. I prefer using the balance board for the game, although it doesn't always respond as well as I'd like.Bottom line: Not quite a Perfect Ten, but if you like gymnastics, you'll probably enjoy this game.

09-08-2025My 10 year old daughter got this game for Christmas. Her favorite parts about the game are the uneven bar routines, being able to make her own routines, and unlocking new leotards when earning enough points. The graphics are pretty close to real. She was in gymnastics for 4 years, but she quit about 3 years ago. It was easy for her to learn to play the game but not so easy that she got bored with it. She doesn't have any other gymnastics games for comparison. She has fun playing,though, and said she thinks if you like gymnastics, you will like this game.

09-08-2025There aren't a lot of gymnastics-based video games, so with such slim pickings it's easy to overrate a game like this when you're interested in the idea. Sadly, the game just isn't very good compared to older games with fewer options. Until a real contender comes along, this one remains one of the "better" gymnastics games (but that isn't saying much). Worth picking up if you are a former gymnast and wanted to have an hour or two of entertainment. Not much else worth investing into here.
