This is no WiiSport. Not by a long shot. The darts game is annoying due to the limited range of motion used. If you throw the dart too fast it flies off screen. If you move your hand too far, the dart flies off screen. What's the point of having a target if, when you throw something at the target, the game takes it off screen??? There are aiming issues when playing this game on a big-screen too.
The air hockey game is horizontal and not vertical. Yes, they put the table on screen SIDEWAYS -- meaning instead of left/right motion used to defend the goal in most air hockey games, this one requires an up/down motion. The left/right motion, in this game, is a forward/backward. It's an utterly absurd design choice that ruins the game.
The rollerball game doesn't follow the usual control standards used in other games either. To adjust angle of roll, instead of pressing A then left/right arrow, you have to press +/-.
The hoops game was mildly entertaining though again it suffers from a very limited range of movement. The action movement could be more realistic too. Any wrist movement during the shot sends the ball off too high or too low.
The trivia game was mildly entertaining -- though I somehow managed to spin the wheel seven different times and still managed to get the same category, Music. Being asked a question about Brittney Spears ruined it.
The pong/cup/whatever toss game was hopeless.
Didn't try shuffleboard.
I'm trading this one ASAP.
darn it, fooled again [Posted on 2008-06-10]
i was really really really really hoping this game would have been better. the controls are very hard to get used to (if that's even possible). just not as easy to use as i was hoping and it would have been better to be able to use your own mii's. if you find it under 10 bucks then you're doing ok
good game [Posted on 2008-06-19]
Very good game except you have to keep setting it up only after 3 turns at a game. Other than that very happy
Game Party - Group Fun [Posted on 2008-06-20]
The only reason I gave this 4 stars instead of 5 is that the game is for 2 or more ppl. You can play on your own but it is not much fun. With 2 or more players however the game is a blast. There is Skee Ball, Air Hockey, Darts, arcade basketball even Beer Pong (they call it something else). Again it is alot of fun to play with a group of ppl a little boring alone.
good wholesome fun [Posted on 2008-06-27]
I think this game is really fun. I am not sure yet how I feel about using the characters and "unlocking" new ones, but I like the variety of games.
