User Ratings and Reviews
3 Stars Fussy to set up but a good variety of games
After playing the original games the Wii came with, this was a little fussier to set up. We also had to break some habits and develop new skills. There are enough games to not get bored quickly, and they are different from the original CD. Overall, it’s a good game with which to whet the electronic gaming appetite.
4 Stars A Good Variety of Games
I got this because I was looking for something that had all your typical amusement games, or, what I call bar games. It has darts, shuffleboard, skiball, lawn darts and more. It is a great little collection of games for the price. It does take a few times to understand the rules and scoring (how I learned to play was different that in the game). The only down side is that you can’t use your own Miis and the characters in the game have annoyingly repetitive movements. Otherwise, this is a great game for a small gathering.
3 Stars Fairly good set of games
Throwing horse shoes with this game is nothing like the real thing, unlike many of the other Wii games. It’s hard to get the horse shoes to go or land where you think they will land. You can’t “spin” the horse shoe. You can’t look down from above, to see how the horse shoe landed, just look from your end, which doesn’t tell you anything. Many look like “leaners”, but when scored, you find out they aren’t. Give me the real thing every time, compared to this game. But, the other games aren’t too bad.
1 Star Wow!…. It was so underwhelming
Game Party 2 was definitely the first let down I have experienced when it came to the Wii. Not only is the game incredibly boring, but you can’t even use your own Mii in the game. You have a limited choice of computerized rejects to play with who I am pretty sure look nothing like any real person.
The games themselves quickly became mundane and reptitive, but not in any challenging sort of way. The trivia game even began to repeat the same questions after only a couple of rounds! Difficult to gauge games like bags and lawn darts made no sense with the controller and shuffle board was mind numbing after a short period of time.
This game fell short and you really have to question why on Earth anyone would put out a game with no style, fun or creativity. If you have a choice, buy another game. This is by far not fun for the whole family or anyone for that matter.
2 Stars Not as great as it sounds
My husband and I were very excited when we bought our wii, but quickly learned that we needed something else to play besides the wii sports. We like to have family and friends over and thought this would be great since it’s a “party” game. However, this game is not as good as it looks. The characters are pretty cheesey and there isn’t a lot of skill involved in any of the games. Overall, this is a game where I think I’d save my money!
