Reception
The Wii version received more positive reception than other versions. Eurogamer rated it 7/10, praising its presentation, soundtrack, Balance Board controls, and multiplayer, but criticizing the Wii Remote controls, half-pipe sections, difficulty, and short single-player mode. Daemon Hatfield of IGN called it a slick edition of the franchise. The Wii version was the 20th best-selling game of December 2008 in the United States and the best-selling version; over 3 million copies sold by May 2009. It was nominated for several IGN Wii-specific awards, including Best New IP, Best Sports Game, Best Graphics Technology, Best Use of the Balance Board, and Game of the Year. The Xbox 360 version was nominated by GameSpot for Worst Game Everyone Played and awarded Most Dubious Use of In-Game Advertising for excluding 20% of content from non-Target editions.
