  • Summary: How smart are you? Do you know more than your Grandma about world history? Does your little sister know more than your Dad about sports? Smarty Pants levels the playing field for friends and family, combining age-targeted trivia with action-based gestures, making it a truly trans-generational game for the Wii. The game tailors questions to the contestant's age, allowing friends and family members ages eight to eighty to play simultaneously. The game tracks every player’s answers, and adjusts the difficulty level to provide continuous stimulation and challenge. Exciting Wii gestures make everything a game, from spinning the category wheel and tug-of-wars over correct answers, to "dance-offs" for additional points. The game also features a family mode, where everyone tries to beat the clock and a rapid-fire competitive mode for groups of friends. The game features both competitive and collaborative game modes and 20,000 questions in multiple categories. [Electronic Arts]… Expand

    All in all, Smarty Pants is a very fun trivia game for the Wii. It has great topics, many questions and good (if light) use of the Wii Remote.

    The game is a real doozy when you have friends over who are willing to play, otherwise the single player is a real letdown.

    This is the ONLY game my dad has ever played with me in my 20 years of gaming! This should say something about my score! Highly recommended for families!… Expand

    Terribly fun with four people involved! A great trivia game for family gatherings around the holidays... not too hard for kids and not too easy for adults. It's bright and friendly and very inviting to non-gamers. Feels like everyone playing a board game like we all used to do. We had a hoot with it!… Expand

    My wife and I found the questions to be quite good and diverse. The presentation is clean but lackluster with Wii remote movement gestures tacked on with no way to disable them. Younger players may appreciate flailing your arms around while not answering questions for a slight edge but older players who prefer their questions straight up will be annoyed by this. This should have been a budget title.… Expand
