  • Summary: EA Playground features games that are easy to pick-up-and-play by fully capitalizing on the unique control mechanics of both the Wii and the Nintendo DS. Swing the Wii remote to excel in tetherball, blow into the Nintendo DS mic to fire spitballs or battle your friends and family in dodgeball. Every game brings its own twist to the controls for the ultimate, all-ages, party game. In EA Playground, you don't always have to be playing with your friends and family in order to have fun. Explore the world on your own as you enter different locations, unlocking new activities, making wacky in-game friends and collecting rewards and stickers to upgrade your abilities along the way.

    It's all over a bit quickly, but it's good fun and quite challenging while it lasts. [Issue#17, p.93]

    The epitome of a "solid" experience. Nothing about it is amazing, but it's not bad...and it's certainly fun as long as you keep yourself in the mindset that these games skew a bit younger than your hardcore gamer.

    Due to its target audience, it's understandable that EA Playground is easy, but it's inexcusable to have games that are only made challenging by their bad design.
