Nintendo Wii All Star Karate - Punch, Kick and Chop your way through Summer!
It doesn’t seem too long ago that it was Christmas, and now all of a sudden, we are rolling out the BBQs and looking skywards….Summer is nearly with us!
I have the perfect idea for every parent out there who may be worrying about keeping their little ones occupied during the long school holiday. The Nintendo Wii All Star Karate has it all - it’s fun, educational (I’m stretching the term educational) and energetic.
I know a lot of kids that will do nothing but sit in front of the TV, seem completely unmotivated and bored. Does that sound like anyone you know?!! Do you want to know how to stop this?!
Inject some fun into their summer holidays. All Star Karate is a great one player journey, where you will be guided by your own Karate Sensei. You get to learn all the Karate moves, history and terminology (the “educational” bit). The wise old Sensei is a little Yoda-like, factually to the point and very funny.

The object of all your training is to defeat a villainous ninja. As a one player game, it has a lot going for it.
However, All Star Karate really comes into it’s own as a two player contest. My son - The Karate Kid - can really pull some moves that leaves my character KO’d. After a bout, we are both on the floor, panting, knackered and giggling away. After an initial training period, my son is moving about like I have never seen before.
If you do not want to hear “Mum, I’m bored!” (pronounced really slowly, of course) then this latest release is a great option. Now to crown this Wii game as a true champ - the price; £17.99!! (available at all good game retailers including Amazon, Play and Game) Released 28th May.
