Big Family Games is the latest sport party game for the Wii and offers 24 'neighbourhood' activities including Golf, Horseshoes, Bocce and Remote Control Planes. Who said 'Scraping the barrel'? Who was it?!!
BFG (nothing to do with Roald Dahl) has an impressive 24 game line-up, but we should point out that about a third of them are just variations of the same sports, for example you have Basketball, Basketball Around The World and Basketball Horse.
Gamecca South Africa's Newest Video Gaming Magazine has release its second issue. This one is bigger and better than the previous issues and that one was great.
I really liked this magazine.It's amazing and no BIAS. Written by really professional journalists.
I agree with Typical-Guy, it's a great magazine, but then I do think in this comment a bit of bias comes out. :D
As one of the column writers, I have to say thank-you too.
The Wii has entirely new genres of games. For example, there's the mini-game collection that involves swinging the Wii Remote like a bat genre. There's also the mini-game collection that involves swinging the Wii Remote like you're throwing a ball genre. Big Family Games falls in the latter genre.
There are 24 games in Big Family Games, but just about all of them are variants of "throw something at something using an underarm throw." None of them are remotely as entertaining as Wii Sports Bowling. There's lawn darts, where you throw a dart at a big target; horseshoes, where you throw a horseshoe at a stick; bocce, where you throw a ball at another ball like in bowls; basketball, where you throw a ball at a hoop, and shuffleboard, where you push a puck to get it to land in a certain spot to score points. Each of these five games has variants which are counted as different games. Lawn darts, for example, has Dartball where you throw darts at a swinging target, and Waterdarts where you throw the dart at a target in a pool instead of on the lawn. These 15 games are the only ones available in single player, while the other 9 only show in multiplayer – I guess because the AI was harder to make for them.
