| Purchased this game for the trivia, but ended up having more fun playing darts and basketball hoops with my friends. It took a while to figure out a technique for those games, but once we did, it was nonstop playing! If you're a darts player, then this game should be easy for you. You really need a steady hand and good timing coordination to aim and throw the dart at your intended target area. What's funny is, that same type of throwing works better for the basketball hoops game. Tried to shoot the ball like you normally would when playing basketball, but all the throws would go off to an angle. Couldn't figure out why that was happening when I was standing directly in front of the basket and throwing "straight". As a joke, my friend suggested throwing the ball like a dart, and when I tried it, the ball actually went in to the basket. Another thing good about the game is the expressions your character makes when you do a bad throw at darts. It's pretty hilarious! My friend enjoyed this game so much that he wants to get his own copy of the game. If you like these types of games, you can't go wrong with this one! |
This is a great game -- I don't understand some of the criticism !?!

Usually, I don't leave reviews. But after seeing some of the negative comments about this game I wanted to dispel some of the criticisms out there...especially as we've been playing this for a week now, and have had an absolute blast!
Before I get to the game itself, for the benefit of people who are looking at this and trying to gauge the difference between the original and Game Party 2 (which is where I was a month ago), the major differences seem to be that V1 has air hockey and puck shuffleboard/curling, where V2 does not have air hockey, has puck bowling, and adds football, bean bags, lawn darts, & horseshoes. 2 also has the ability to customize characters where 1 just has a cast you can choose from. (While Miis would be nice, we didn't expect that of a non-Nintendo product.) We went with V1 on account that we were able to get it for half the price of V2, at the time we bought. Plus, we were told, and it proved true, that the air hockey in this feels more like the real deal than the laser hockey in Wii Play. But if you can live without air hockey and like the idea of the added games, V2 is probably the way to go.
Some of have criticized the control - or lack thereof - in some games, like ping cup, ski ball, and shuffleboard. MYTH. Like any game, you need to play them a few times to find your way. But we busted right into things without reading the instructions, and found the controls to be pretty intuitive. By the time I'd played ping cup three or four times, I was running off several in a row. Admittedly, ski ball and shuffleboard proved quirky at first, but, again, came around quickly. My 3-1/2-year-old has rolled a 300 in ski ball, so how hard can it be to get the ball down the lane...really?
If you do not have a dartboard, and enjoy throwing them when you get the chance, cricket alone is worth the price of admission. Trivia was fun to do with a room full of people, especially with a couple teams. Sure, ski ball and hoop shoot are 1-player-at-a-time, but it's not like you can't take turns !? And while 'beirut' isn't exactly something you want your kid mastering before they go off to college, the other games ought to save you a few trips to Chuck E. Cheese. (Hey, the game will pay for itself!)
Bottom line: some fun games; a great value; stuff you can do with family and friends that you would normally have to go out to do. |
Mom and I Love this one!

| We absolutely love this one. Our favorite games are SkillBall(skeeball, Darts, and Shuffleboard. Can you imagne all thesegames for only $20! Who wouldn't be inclined to try it for that price. It is well worth it. I would pay the $$ for just Darts! The Ping Cups is rather time consuming and hard, but not impossible. We have both cleared the table many times. Mom isn't a trivia person, but I play that and enjoy it. We really had fun with 1 player mode and to make it more fun as a 2 player style game is alternate the remote and root eachother on. When you play the single player game, you win tickets and as you get those tickets you earn different bonus things to the games that you play in any mode! Totally fun and well worth the $$!!!!!!!! |
Great for parties!

I bought this game for my husband because we both enjoy the "Wii Sports" games and we thought this would give us a little more variety of games to play. Also, we enjoy the group aspect of the Wii and thought this would be fun to play during get-togethers.
We were right!
The games are fun. My one complaint about the games is that the Shuffle Board game is such a slow pace, but then again, it's shuffle board! Darts is our family favorite along with Skillball.
It's great for parties or just for groups in general, fun for all ages. |
Fun for the whole family

I purchased this game for my parents that are in their 50's for Christmas. They absolutely love it. The Shuffle Board is so much fun.
All the other games are fun as well, once you get the hang of controling yourself. I would highly recommend this game. |
This game was worth the money...

| This game was so much cheaper than some of our other Wii games and we are enjoying it much more. When you have a large group together or when it is just a single player, these classic games are a lot fun. I would highly recommend this game! |
Good Family Game
