It's fun, it's versatile (I've found it to be a hit with gamers and non-gamers), and it offers more bang for your buck (ha!) than just about anything else on Wii right now. It's the best kind of sequel – one that truly "gets" what was cool about its forebear, cuts the fat and elevates every cool feature to the next logical step. Superb.

But online level sharing is definitely Bash Party's biggest strength -- it lets me pick and choose the levels I like most: The ones where destruction is the signature element.

Bash Party may become repetitive for some over time, but it does prove to be a far better package overall, offering a wealth of gameplay for those that get hooked by the formula.

This game is great and a must own for anyone who enjoyed the first game. It has a deeper multiplayer and single player mode, and the ability to download new levels everyday really makes the game have unbelievable replay value.… Expand

The single-player is sub-par at best, but the multiplayer is better than ever, delivering more of the same types of levels from the previous games in addition to several new modes of play... But if you're at all the creative type, the level editor is where Bash Party really shines. Not only does it provide you with lots of tools to build your own levels, but unlike the first game, you can actually play your creations with your friends.… Expand

Tedious and extremely repetitive take on "Crush the Castle," which itself is pretty tedious. Gameplay attempts variety, and while it gets different flavors, it's all still ice cream. Really bad ice cream with drawn-out physics. More than "Crush the Castle," I think this game could be compared to a mini-game in WW:Smooth Moves, except instead of hundreds of entirely new novel concepts and fun, it's just a slightly different take on the same mini-game over and over and over.… Expand
