There are all sorts of exciting ways to explore the island, from horseback to buggies, snowmobiles to inline skates. And to add to the fun, up to four players* can enjoy visiting and discovering every corner of the island together!

Go Vacation presents a world full of games and activities that feel consistently average, with common flaws across the board making each game similarly dull, tiresome, and not worth the asking price. The game’s setting itself provides a welcome break from this, though, with an impressive amount of things to see and do at your own leisure injecting a much-needed dose of fun into the proceedings. Strangely, this is a multiplayer sports game that probably suits those looking for decent single-player exploration the most.

I played the game back when it came out on the Wii and the switch version brings welcome additions that only make the game better! I absolutely love the island in which you play in and there is so much to do! Just the activity’s alone make GoVacation pretty good! While yes individually most of them wouldn’t be the best just average actually, the sheer amount of activity’s and the hidden gems that are pretty good make up for it. But even if you don’t like the activity’s the world alone can be fun to play in, there are so many things to see and to discover and furnishing your vacation home is fun too! Though the high price doesn’t seem adequate for a Wii game on the switch, it dosnt do enough to be a full priced game
