The world is in danger! A huge meteor is plummeting towards earth and the only way to save the planet from destruction is to earn enough money to purchase the anti-meteor gadgets from a TV shopping channel! This bizarre storyline is the basis for Job Island:Hard Working People, a quirky and brilliantly entertaining title featuring 50 mini games that must be finished to earn the money to save the word! However, players must performbetter than the other workers in order to succeed!
Each of the 50 mini games are in fact jobs players must undertake successfully in order to earn money. These jobs range from the simple to the ridiculous and all make use of the Wii Remote and Nunchuk in ways players would never have thought possible.
As a red carpet interviewer for example, the player runs around the celebrity laden carpet waiting for them to give interviews. If you get their first and bag the big star, you earn more money! Managing a BBQ grill players must twist the skewers of meat using the Wii Remote to prevent them from burning and as farmer you must harvest carrots as quickly as possible and also milk a cow! Each job requires skill and concentration to complete and will test all gamers, regardless of their skills!
With three levels of difficulty and a multiplayer mode that allows two people to go head to head on any of the jobs that are available in a straight heads-up duel, there is plenty to keep everyone entertained and amused.
Features:
- Stop a giant meteor from crashing into Earth!
- Get a job, earn money and save the world!
- 50 'job' minigames to complete
- Huge range of jobs, from body builder to crane operator!
- Two-player head-to-head quick play mode

The first thing that comes to your mind when you take a look at job island: Hard Working people is "Okay, another mini-game videogame, not bad for a little play". But then it comes the intro: saving the world?? A meteor is going to crash into the planet, and you're the only one who knows it, so you have to do something! So, what about buying a product which can prevent it in a network shop? Technically it's not a really good game, the graphics are simple, and the music is boring, but the video sequences (manga style) are really funny and fit perfectly with this kind of game. And that's the key: the minigames are fun and the story is hilarious. It may not be the best game ever, but you're going to enjoy it for sure.
Excellent game my three boys, 7,8 and 15 and myself love this game, it may only be two player with limited jobs in this mode, but in the challenge mode getting new jobs and the additional stuff is great. I would recommend this game to anyone.
