The Bottom Line

If you're a young, aspiring cheerleader dying to get your hands on anything cheer-related, you may find We Cheer 2 entertaining. But thanks to the chunky graphics and frustratingly unintuitive interface, everyone else probably won't.

    As a former cheerleader who tried out All Star Cheer Squad last year, I was excited to see a new cheerleading game for the Wii. We Cheer 2 lets you shake your pom-poms using Wii Remotes. In Dance Dance Revolution fashion, you hit the moves as the arrows show up on the screen. Multiplayer doesn't offer much. It allows up to four players to play one of two "party games," or compete in a "Cheer Off." Single player is really where all the action is. You can learn the basic cheer moves in the tutorial and then perfect them in Cheer Camp so that you can join the squad and get first place at competition. Completing numerous routines and gaining points unlocks new songs, outfits, and team members. There are some pretty hip songs to be unlocked–Black Eyed Peas, Salt-N-Pepa, Lady Gaga–which will definitely appeal to the young cheerleader.

    I was disappointed at how difficult it was to navigate through the menus. I became frustrated by the amount of time wasted from going back and forth between pages to change the number of players, song, etc. Just like how playing Guitar Hero is nothing like playing a guitar, We Cheer 2 is nothing like actual cheerleading, but earning points and unlocking new levels is addicting and fun.
