User Ratings and Reviews
1 Star Not as exciting as you’d think
I picked this game up as an impulse (bad idea). not only did I pay more in store than it would’ve been on Amazon.. but it was without reading reviews.
I finally opened it up after a few days and decided to try out the Skee-Ball.
Turns out the game does have quite a lag.. the sensor doesn’t seem to be reading when I’m releasing the ball/etc.
It ended up making me more frustrated than having fun. The only that seemed fun and easy to handle was trivia. Although I didn’t like the whole “Spinning of the wheel” to get a category.
4 Stars 30 Year Old Adult Review
Here’s the deal, this game is only $20. Buy it! Have some beers & play the dart game with your friends. Totally worth it! Adults and kids will have a good time.
2 Stars Not what you expect Wii fun to be.
I am fourteen and I played this game at my cousins house at a party who is six. There are not many choices of games for you to play at all so you lose intrest very easily.
A couple of the games are;;
Darts- This game is very hard and expessially in darts baseball you can rarely earn points which makes it not worth playing.
Trivia- The questions are so hard. These questions are on an adult level, no where near what young kids 6-10 should know.
This game was created for younger kids but it is way to hard for them to play and succeed. I watch my cousin and he earns zero points and it is frustrating for him why. Then for adults the game is not engaging enough, there is no fun compitition. This is not worth your money, and you tell why this game is 15 dollars compared to Playground and Mario Party 8 which are over $35 dollars.
1 Star Is this game a joke?
This might be okay for kids, but for adults, it’s a real snooze. The cup pong took so long we just returned to the main menu. Also we found that no matter where in the room we pointed the remote, the balls, shuffle items, etc. went in the same direction (not true of the darts). Really this should be just darts and trivia. Nothing else worth playing, in our opinion.
4 Stars Fun & relaxing party game
This is a great collection of simple, relaxing, turn based games that are a lot of fun to play with friends or family. Not all of the games are great, but the ones that are make it worthwhile (darts, shuffleboard, trivia). Over time, you unlock new features and characters that add to the fun. It’s definitely worth $18-$20 (half of what many other Wii games cost). It’s not for everyone, though. If you’re looking for a fast-paced, intense gaming experience then you will be disappointed. Game Party is very casual and best played with others.
Game Party definitely grows on you over time. To be honest, I wasn’t very impressed with it the first few times I played. However, there is a lot of depth that becomes apparent after you play (and explore) a bit. All things considered, I like it more than Carnival Games (at half the price).
