    Nintendo keeps promising us new ways to play on Wii U and we can't help but feel KnapNok might have got there first. There's nothing else quite like this.

    In many ways the best game on the Wii U so far, at least in terms of using the GamePad for something other consoles would find very hard to replicate.

    No good for loners, but if you have seven chums you don't mind rubbing against, this is ace. [Nov 2013, p.73]

    It’s certainly a game you’ll get more enjoyment from with the maximum number of allowed players, and if you and your friends are extroverted and feel incredibly comfortable around each other (or have a stash of strong alcohol nearby), then for the price of entry (£5.99) this is an absolutely great party game that gives a shining glimpse of what can be done with the Wii U if a bit of thought is put into it.

    If some activities are variants on familiar parlour games, they’re enlivened by creative twists and side objectives, while others are brimming with invention.

    In a festive atmosphere, it’s a reasonable option to have fun and be satisfied.

    Great game for get togethers. There are 1 or 2 games that you might feel uncomfortable playing (depending on who you're playing with), but that's not a problem because you can go into settings and tell it not to use those games.

    This game is a blast if you have a decent sized group that is a mix of males and females. At such a cheap price of entry it's a no-brainer if you're having people over. The art style is very much like Katamari Damacy which I absolutely love, the characters are hilarious. If the Wii U had more innovation like this it could easily take off. If you're having people over and you have a Wii U with at lease 2 Wiimotes BUY THIS GAME.… Expand

    Spin the Bottle: Bumpie's Party is a party game for 2-8 players, there is no single player and the more players you have the more fun the game will be. The game suggests that you turn off the TV and gather around the Gamepad which is placed flat in the middle of the group like a board game. I think this may be the first console game in history that instructs you to turn your television off, you know right from that point that this game is going to be a little different.

    Players take turns spinning a virtual bottle and are paired up with another player in order to do some sort of collaborative challenge. Some of the challenges we faced in our game were to lay out four Wii Remotes and listen for which one made a particular noise, holding the controllers while hugging each other and jumping together at a certain moment, and pressing the A & B buttons on a controller at the same time without the players using their hands.

    Sound silly? You bet it does but it is also an amazingly creative and quirky little title that shows off some unique aspects of the system which can only be done on the Wii U. The graphics for the game are really unique and contribute to the irrelevant feeling of the mini games, of which there are seventeen different challenges. That is not a lot but the publisher promises addition free DLC games in the future if the game is successful enough.

    Playing the game with two or three people is not the way to apprach this game, if you have any fewer then four players then I would not even bother. It is the element of being randomly teamed-up with someone that adds a lot to the game, the more players who are watching you doing the silly challenges the funnier it gets. Is the game for everyone? Most assuradly not, but for those who can get a group of people together for a game night is it a charming and enjoyable way to spend a couple hours.    … Expand

    Edge gave fallout 3 a 7. Are you calling this a 7 game now? All joking aside (and inifiriating grudge), this is a pretty bare bones game with limited crappy minigames. I dont know here it can go right besides music (also barebones) and graphical style(barebones). But hey, if you have some wasted friends and play this. You might get laid. Amirite?… Expand
