If you are, ever have been, or even know any cheerleaders, you know that cheerleaders eat, sleep and breathe anything cheer-related. I was the captain of my high school cheer squad for two years, and I jumped (no pun intended) at the chance to try out THQ's All Star Cheer Squad for Wii. Along with Nicole Price Fasig, another PC Mag ex-cheerleader, we went back to the days of "Bring it On" and totally had a cheer-off.

More about All Star Cheer Squad and a cheer-tastic video, after the jump.

All Star Cheer Squad follows a year in the life of a cheerleader hoping to make the squad and eventually become the squad's captain. The player can participate in practice, learn new cheers, and create his or her own routines. Like Dance Dance Revolution, you have to complete the moves as the arrows scroll over the target.

Just as playing Guitar Hero is in no way similar to playing a real guitar, All Star Cheer Squad is very different from actual cheering. The biggest problem we encountered was that the cable between the Wii controller and the Nunchuk, was too short, making it very difficult to complete the moves. The Wii Balance Board can also be used to get the player's entire body involved.

Oh, and the game's chief consultant is world-renowned cheerleading choreographer Tony G from "Bring it On." That will excite any cheer fan. Make sure to keep an eye out for Nicole Price Fasig's detailed review of All Star Cheer Squad on PCMag.com.
