Topic: All These Forums About WSR - Bad Ratings On Cycling

Whats so bad about cycling, i dont have the game yet im getting it in september. All those forums about rating the games cycling is always like a 2-5 never higher!

Rating the games individually is pointless. They aren't designed to be stand-alone games.

Cycling will never top anyone's list, but it is a good game despite. Give it a try when you have Resort. It's most fun with two players.

I tried cycling with some trepidation given all the bad press, and was surprised to find I really enjoyed it. The controls are far from broken, as some sites suggest, and while it is a bit exhausting there are other chill-out sports you can try afterwards. It's great.

I want roller skating..... Jet Set Radio

I had a 3-stage race for breakfast and it was great! I love trying to beat my times, it's much deeper than i ever thought it would be. I do get annoyed though when someone knocks me off my line, graaargh!

I can't rate the games just yet (still not played 'em all) but when i do, cycling will get a shiny 8 from me.

Yeah, and where is the Wii Sports Resort balance board skateboarding game? I mean come on!

My balance board doesn't like motion plus, it's steeling all the fun.

The controls are wonky for me. The game seems to make me do a wheelie when I just want to go forward. It's annoying.

Maybe it's all those torches on your back.

@Bahamut ZERO: Just don't waggle like crazy, short subtle controlled bursts are all you need. Never done a wheelie, even when I've tried, ha!

@Bring Back Pluto: My toches are in storage, thank you very much.

@Machu: I try to, but I can't get the hang of it.

Your torches are in storage huh?
goes into clumsy thief mode

Okay now im confused? Now you people like cycling in all the other ratings people hated it! I saw some vids of cycling, it didnt look to bad!

Cycling is actually one of my favorite games in Resort, in fact it's my "Most Popular" according to the game. It takes a lot of skill, timing, and tecnique. I'll never understand the hate.

@Bring Back Pluto: Good luck with that. They're in a secret underground vault 1000 feet under Zimbabwe, guarded by an explosive mine field, two golden elephant statues complete with state of the art weaponry, and a French-speaking Vietnamese guy named Phil.

Thats what im trying to figure out! All the bad reviews/ratings. And now people like it!?!?

I've always liked it. I think this thread is just attracting all the people that actually like it. This might be one of those things where most of the critics just genuinely didn't understand the game--because your instinct tells you to waggle as fast as possible. But doing that doesn't work. Or maybe people felt like they HAD to hate on it because everyone else was. Idk.

I would like cycling better if the controls weren't wonky for me as well. I've tried several different methods, but i too get the frequent wheelies and usually jerky sort of movement. I guess maybe it's me; i also seem to have frequent "wonky-ness" in the canoe game.

yea i gusse

I've never had this problem. I had no idea a wheelie was even possible (though I've tried). Haven't had any problems in Canoeing either.

The canoeing thing i think is more just me overcompensating with the M+. But cycling, i don't know what it is. I try doing it any variety of ways (fast or slowly or steady or whatever) and it still is kinda choppy. The wheelie thing was more when i first started playing it and happens less now that i've played it more, but the choppiness remains. I imagine it's just a timing thing on my part, but i haven't been able to get it right. Perhaps i just need more time with it.
