David Simpson writes: "Wii Sports is arguably the best Wii game created so far and it seems that every mini-game collection since has attempted to catch lightning in a bottle once again. Midway's More Game Party isn't Wii Sports, but it so desperately wants to be that it's quite embarrassing.
More Game Party features ten games (Beanbags, Darts, Hoop Shoot, Horseshoes, Lawn Darts, Ping Cup, Puck Bowling, QB Challenge, Skill Ball and Shuffleboard) that have largely been ignored by the gaming world thus far, but after playing them here I just can't imagine why EA hasn't snapped up the Horseshoes licence or produced a Puck Bowling game. Most of these games are set in a pseudo-fairground environment where you aim at targets in arcade machine-like booths; however, none provide the excitement that you can gain from throwing a hoop around a pole to win a pink teddy bear."
Sherry Baldwin: "I was kind of excited at the beginning of the week when we planned out three features for the current generation of home consoles… That was until I was told my point of view was to pick the worst Wii games released to help potential consumers avoid any “shovelware” as our editor put it. Thankfully there are a lot of quality games on the little white box that many consider to be a game changer in the industry. However we’re not focusing on the great titles the Wii has to offer."
Mario Galaxy Came out within the first 1 1/2 years and sp did tons of titles, but I get what you mean.
"Honorable Mention:
Literally Too Many To List (Six more released while you were reading this.)"
LOL, nice.
i loled on that one
Literally Too Many To List (Six more released while you were reading this.)"
best statement i ever heard..
I can't argue with most of those titles, because I never even heard of most of them. LoL
Game Party 2 is one of those titles. From lackluster mini-games to monotonous controls you'll be hard pressed to figure out why you decided to pick up this title.
When all is said and done, all the mini-games technically work, but that doesn't change the fact that they're boring and completely uninspired. There's no doubt you could pop this game in at a party and have fun with it for a little while – what isn't fun when you get a group of drunk friends together? In that situation it doesn't take much to stay entertained. But in that case you can have just as much fun throwing beer caps at each other, or taking turns petting the cat. You'd save yourself some money, and your cat would probably enjoy the attention.
