There's a variety of music, some of it from the eighties like 'Walking on Sunshine' and other, newer stuff. There's even some J-pop (Japanese pop music). I don't like much of the newer stuff, either, but the great thing about the game is that you can turn off songs you don't like. I've turned off many songs and there's no problems at all.

The only problem you might have with the songs is if you do it with two people: it uses song from the lists of both players. This was a problem when I played it with my husband once because he never turns off any of the songs.

I've not abandoned the island stuff, by the way, it's just that I've been a bit busy as of late but I'm getting back into it and have moved up several ranks in the balloon race.

I am not too fond of some of the music, too modern for me (I feel like a fuddy duddy) Would be nice if you could add some of our own perhaps. I am hoping for some country before I get it all unlocked but only 20 songs too go I have been looking for a copy of this game to give one of my grandsons but was informed yesterday it has been discontinued and I will only be able to get it if someone trades in. Started Christmas shopping yesterday and tried about 8 stores but was unable to find a copy anywhere near here. I will have to search online I guess though I prefer to support local businesses when possible.

Oh, I am really sorry to hear that this game has been discontinued. It's one of my favourites. It wasn't really marketed well, though, unfortunately. I would not have heard about it at all if it hadn't been for this forum.

Oh no! I hope I can get one!

Surely there is some good music? I suppose it is a matter of taste.

There were none to be found around here; the store where you get such things here had never heard of it. So I went to Amazon and there were four new copies- I got one of them, so hurry up for your grandson JVV!

Possible Spoiler alert:
After walking around aimlessly all around the island looking for rainbow spheres and never finding them all I discovered the secret. If you click on the settings button and scroll through the settings options there is a map button. You can turn off and on things you want to see or find and if you are familiar enough with the island you can locate a sphere etc and see where it is, cancel out and walt there. It really helps to find those objects that are just barely visible, very high in the sky or behind a bush. I don't mind walking but was getting frustrated because of the time variations etc thet prevent you from finding that last object.

This sounds like fun- all the things you are saying and the reviews I read at Amazon have me drooling. If you run into other needlessly frustrating things, let me know as I don't want to waste time. Someone at Amazon said they couldn't get out of the stadium at first. It reminded me of our trip to Kauai. We made out our schedule in advance. After getting our car, we headed for a stadium to go to a farmer's market. I had pictured a stadium with high concrete walls and turnstiles to get in. What a surprise when we found no fencing, no paving, no parking lot. Just pull over to the side of the road and walk in to a dirt field; there were about 20 vendors with fascinating tropical fruits and veggies. Life had suddenly slowed down about 50 miles an hour. This does not sound like the island stadium in Walk It Out. (Do Nova Scotians say Out like Oat, as do Canadians?)

Pretty hard not to get out of the stadium as this is the turorial area where your trainer explains how to get around etc. Probably just hat a problem aiming the remote at the directional arrows if they were new to the Wii. You shouldn't have that problem as you have been following people on the island for a long long time As to the pronunciation of Oat, I have never noticed that, sounds more like southen states to me. Out is Out in NS, But I grew up in Ontario. More likely that they say bet here instead of beat, (even my son in law that is a teacher), drive me nuts and I always say lets see your money then :-0

Ok, well I am hardly able to wait till tomorrow for that game. I so love the tropics, though the pictures I've seen of the game don't look anything like Kauai. Too "built".

I've only been to western Canada. Have made great friends in Victoria. Isn't traveling great? They say Oat and Aboat.

Brest Canadian dialects are in Newfoundland. Even canadians can hardly understand some of them, when interviewed on the news they often put subtitles so we know what they are saying. It is a beautiful province though and the people are the friendliest anywhere!!
