The selection of games is good, but the graphics (and dumb characters) make it not as much fun as Game Party 1.

As with all Nintendo Wii family sports games the games are fast and fun, as well as controls that are easy to master. Game play may be a bit predictable,and the graphics cartoonish but this is all exactly what makes it a family game title. There are plenty of games on here which include Bean Bag Toss, Horseshoes, Lawn Darts, Puck Bowling, Darts, and Hoop Shot. Game Party 2 is that the game has a four-player mode which allows a group of people to really get into the action and have a good time. Overall, I'd give this title a "B+", because it's just fun to play. It runs in the same vein as Wii Sports and Wii Sports resort, whereas if you were to replay this game in 6 months, it would still be good for a few hours of fun.
Our family and friends love these games and my six year old definately has tons of fun with this one. The only reason I give it Good rating rather than Excellent is that it is a little hard to get used to using the controller with these games... you only use the A button, but if you do it too fast or don't press/release at the right time; or, don't have the remote in the proper position, it won't work. It can be pretty frustrating until you get the hang of it.
The best thing about these games are the easy controls. Most of them require a simple action by the controller and pressing the "A" button. Which makes it very easy for my 5 and 6 year old daughters to manipulate. The only drawback is not being able to use you customized MIIs. Other than that my girls like it, so that makes it enjoyable for all our family members, even if it is kind of basic.
We like the Game Party 2 but find it's harder to use when interacting with the various sports. The hand held controller has to be held at the perfect angle for anything to work. There is very little or no information for proceeding to play and no info about scoring each sport. It's not as sophisticated as the sports games that come with the Wii console. Bought the game to give us ore variety in sports.
While the beanbag toss and lawn darts are great fun in the dead of winter... we can't say the same for darts and football. For some odd reason, despite folling instructions, the darts and football do not properly release in order to play the game. The basketball game works fine (but only fun when playing with more than 1 player), so it must be a glitch in the game software.
Cool concept the football game sucks but the others are very fun to play. I bought this game to just have something for friends and I to play while sitting around. it is cool. I should have bought the game earlier than I did because it is a good family or party game. good times. It would be a perfect rating however the football game is very unresponsive and too much effort to throw the ball, not worth the time.
Received the product in due time. The whole family is happy to play with this title. We love the whole series even tough critics are pretty negative about it.

This is a very nice game. I'd like to call it Old School because most of the games are from the pass, like horseshoes, darts, beanbag, and on. These are also family games for the old, mild, and young. Not like the games of today were you have to program the game before you can play it. This game has 11 games in all; it even has old school tibia asking questing about 90210. You know that's old school! Me being the head of the house my family to include my three year old will get many years of enjoyment from this game. Last, it was well wreath the price.
