We Cheer for a surprisingly non-awful soundtrack


Okay, so We Cheer is a game about cheerleading, and that immediately raises the hackles of most Wii gamers sensitive to the system's relative lack of games about men firing guns at each other in space. Yes, this game was probably designed for someone other than males aged 18-35.

However, we can't help but admire the soundtrack. Aside from a few diversions into modern "we had to put this stuff on here for the kids" territory like the Ataris' "In This Diary"(which makes no sense for cheerleading), it's a greatest-hits compilation of our high school pep rallies, full of vintage '90s music designed to make EVERYBODY DANCE NOW.

We don't really know the nuances of cheerleading, but we imagine that were we to try to rouse a crowd, "It Takes Two" by Rob Base & DJ EZ Rock would be a good start. Head past the break for the full track list.
