There are reviews at: familyfriendlygaming, gamechroniicles, gamespot, IGN & gamevortex. all give mediocre scores. all agree the graphics have nice details, but having ALL game play in 4 quadrants even in single player mode is annoying, lazy & makes it hard to see. the instructions are vague but the controls are complex. I found the controls to be interesting complex like an old arcade game, but I couldn't understand what they wanted exactly. you never use the nunchuck for any game. all agreed the simpler the controls, the better it worked. I had trouble with response with even lifting/lowering flags in one simple mini-game & felt that you really had to put oommpphhh into your movements for it to be recognized (or maybe this game is really that broken sometimes). there is debate about how broken/responsive the controls are or how much the A.I. cheat. some reviewers had trouble with the balance, but I excelled at it & easy for me such as balancing on cushions or running balance. I found the barrel throw was impossible as you have to hit A at the right time & then lift the wii mote in perfect even balance. I found that you needed to have split second millisecond timing for all movements in all the games which is VERY frustrating like it wanted to be a simulation. even firing a cannon had the arc & slowness for further distances like real life or running on a barrel had delayed response like reality. This game would have been better if there was some humor involved, some of the sound bites help, but there's not enough & the A.I. movements are on a loop before/after or even during a game. the only customization at first is choosing a family member from kid to grandparent. There are different sections to play in a tournament, but you have to win all those games to unlock more games. only half the game is unlocked. you can do battle/quickplay of 1 or more games with 1-4 players at any time, but it won't unlock anything. be prepared to see "FAILED" a lot & a lot of forced replay until you excel at games in order to unlock more. this game had some great ideas in terms of use of controls & more complex sport mini-games to keep interest & focus, but because of poor instructions, small screen so you can't see ahead to time your responses, non-warned sim complexity, quirky A.I., inability to have different A.I. difficulty & obvious lazy/poor programming, this game only manages to frustrate. wisely, I only rent all my games first.Read full review
I purchased this game for my 6 year old son for Christmas. The games themselves are very difficult to manuver and are hard to get used to. Both myself and my husband have tried playing it several times and we can't even do it. I do not feel that this should be considered a family type game and are more for the experienced Wii players.
I bought the Family Party:30 Great Games for my daughter and myself. it's an ok game, but I bet it would be a lot more fun with 3-4 people. It truly is a game of competing against each other. Some of it is tricky, but that's part of the fun. My daughter is 9 and she got pretty frustrated with it at first. Younger kids might not do well with it because it will be hard for them to catch on.
