Although a top squad, they have suffered a tough setback when one of their top captains has been sidelined by injury. The show must go on though.

Varied Gameplay Gameplay within All Star Cheer Squad consists of players mimicking the stream of on-screen prompts, representing individual moves within a cheer routine, and accumulating points according to their accuracy. Action is registered through the use of various controllers. Ideally the game simulates a the range of body motion--both upper and lower--that a cheerleader utilizes. With this in mind, to take advantage of the game's full potential players should use both the combination of a Wii Remote with attached Nunchuck controller for upper body movement, and a Wii Balance Board for lower body movement. But this configuration is not mandatory for play. A Wii Remote with Nunchuck will suffice. Play options consist of: Singleplayer - Singleplayer action in All Star Cheer Squad comes in two varieties: Quick play and Career Mode. Career Mode on the other hand contains the lion's share of the singleplayer experience as well as the storyline of the game. As players begin this mode they choose the gender and basic customization options of their character like initial attire, facial features, etc. From there they are introduced to the current members of Fox Squad. Considered as an unproven rookie the players must try out and make the squad to gain respect and a spot on the team. If successful more advanced routines and moves as well as unique custom items will be unlocked, which will earn you credibility and provide the opportunity to move up in the hierarchy of the squad, eventually all the way to captain. Quickplay is a standard tutorial mode where players can practice basic and not so basic moves that will come in handy regardless of the player's experience and comfort level with the Wii Remote, Nunchuck and the Wii Balance Board. Multiplayer - All Star Cheer Squad supports 2-4 players either cooperative or competitive multiplayer. Team up and work together as a unit and the goal is to get the highest overall routine score as a squad by following the on-screen prompts as you face down a bevy of AI supplied competition. As squads progress through the mode, moves routines and their synchronization with music become more and more difficult, complex and frantic. Players who instead choose to go the route of competitive multiplayer face off against friends in a versus mode where not only do they need to follow the in-game prompts, to hope to win in a tight battle they must shoot for perfect execution of moves. String together three perfect moves and your team receives a 'call out." These can be used to add points to your score, trip up the opposing cheer line when their turn comes, protect your own line in this case. Whichever team has the highest score at the end of the game wins. Any way you choose to play it All Star Cheer Squad is an aspirational game that captures the fun and action of the real life Cheer world. Immerse yourself in the creativity, customization, style and teamwork All Star Cheer Squad. And don't forget to Bring it on!

Big Workout! October 12, 2009 Laura K. Kaeser (Sugar Land, TX) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
Daughter and friends have enjoyed this game. Found it to be a little more difficult than they had anticipated which is not a bad thing. Challenges make it more of a workout than just a game. Recommend for your cheerleader to be.
Thank God I rented it instead of buying it August 10, 2009 Courtney Clements (Arkansas) 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I'm always on the lookout for Wii games that make me get up and move, preferably to music. Last week I rented We Cheer, and boy, did I move. Today I took that one back and rented All Star Cheer Squad. Bad plan. The real problem, I think, is that unlike We Cheer, which uses a remote in each hand (thus allowing a free range of arm motion), All Star Cheer Squad uses a remote with the nunchuck attached. If you are a little person with a very small arm span, great. If you're a grown person whose arms, when extended, reach farther than the wire between the remote and nunchuck goes, too bad. Essentially, for many of the moves your upper arms are more or less glued to your sides while your lower arms are just waving the remotes around so you don't accidentally rip the nunchuck out of the remote.
Additionally, as far as any sort of exercise value goes, thus far the routines have been less than a minute in length. I could have stood still and waved my lower arms about for 45 seconds to music for free. (Also, just personal preference, I thought the music on this one was awful. Are these even actual songs?)
I don't have the balance board, which might have gotten a little more movement going, but that wouldn't have solved the problem of minimal arm movement.
This is the first day of a 5 night rental for this game. I'm taking it back in the morning. If you want a cheer game that has good music, lots of movement, and doesn't require a balance board, go for We Cheer and leave this one on the shelf where it belongs.
Hangs up in spots August 5, 2009 J. V. Pruett (Herndon, VA United States) 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I agree with the other comments that the corded nunchuck is really limiting (wish I had a cordless one!) Some of the moves don't register, which is pretty frustrating.
The music is okay, but a little generic.
I had no trouble getting started and customizing my character. There weren't a ton of choices for customization - I made a cute cheerleader, but she didn't look all that much like me! Unlocking more outfits is probably fun, but I don't think it has more choices for the body of the character.
Every screen takes a really long time to load, at least 20 seconds or so. While this doesn't seem so long, it really starts to add up. Want to do a practice? Hang on 20 seconds. Want to do the next practice? We'll be right with you... Want to do a tryout? Just one moment, please...
My major problem with the game came when my BF tried to play it. (I coerced him in trade for agreeing to play RockBand!) He set up his character and went to the first practice. Several times at the same place during the initial tutorial ("This is a cheer line!") the game hung up the entire console. We had to hard reset and start over again. Tried this a couple of times with the same result in the exact same place. I set up another character in the #3 position to see if it would work and everything went smoothly. He tried again - locked up. He made a new character in the #4 spot, locked up again! Either the even numbered spots all lock up, or something else triggers it (choosing a male? the goatee?!?!) He played on the character I set up on #3 (female) and everything went smoothly. VERY frustrating! I guess he'll just have to be a girl ;)
I'm only on the practices and tryouts section, so I'll give it more time before I completely write it off. I found this game on clearance at Target for $9.98, so I think it was worth it, but I wouldn't pay much more for it. Haven't tried it with the balance board yet, but from the other reviews, I think it will be more waiting and less actual cheering.
Bring a book July 9, 2009 dicerotops (Northern VA, USA) 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I have never had to wait so long in a game just to get to a play part. Have to wait for all the instructions. Have to wait for the board to callibrate *every* time. Have to wait as it loads dialogue. Have to wait as they talk. Have to wait as it goes from dialogue to main play. Then you have about 1 min of play before repeating the cycle.
Wait wait wait, not worth it.
My 5 1/2 y.o. loves it April 17, 2009 mrbluesman (OH) 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I bought this for my 5 1/2 y.o. daughter for Easter. She loves it. The moves aren't too complicated and the instructions are easy enough to follow. After reading all the reviews, though, I'd thought I'd made a mistake buying this, but, I didn't (and it was only $20).
Let's deal with everyone's main complaint-the chord is too short between the nunchuk and wii remote. Well, it is short, and it's difficult when I try the game with her given the lack of chord so I just bought a chordless nunchuk and, bingo, problem solved. The chord length is perfect for her.
Next complaint by people, the long loading time. This one kills me. Most load screens take all of 20 seconds, big deal. Is this the kind of society we've become that we can't wait 20 whole seconds to play a level?
I thought of getting Wii Cheer but everyone wrote that the moves must be perfect to score. Not so here, my daughter doesn't always perform every move correctly and, yet, she still gets through tryouts, practice and the competitions (usually with a B or C grade - sometimes, though an A). If you have a little girl that wants to try cheering on Wii, I'd recommend this game. My girl loves it. The games not perfect, but, we've already spent several hours on it and we're only a third of the way through. She plays 2 hours a day and can't wait to start the next day.
