WTF Critics??? Wii Party is literally the best party game of all time, way better than Mario Party will ever be, and yet they've slandered this masterpiece for no real reason. The game is fun af. I think the real issue is that game critics have no friends so they think the game is worse than it actually is. I want to play this game.
Wii Party is a very interesting proposal which will be like by everyone and allows us to have some fun with friends. Maybe the game does not invent anything, but it brings a broad an varied minigame colection, with good balance.
Wii Party is a pretty good game for your familiar and friendly evenings (but also mornings, afternoons and even nights) at home. Unfortunately it's on Wii, a console with a pretty wide variety of similar games... and this is not the best of the bunch!
It's a shame that Wii Party seems to rely so heavily on arbitrary equalisers, resulting in several underwhelming minis, but the range of diversity and charm is more than enough to pull you in for a while.
Dumbing down Mario Party sounds impossible, but this strips out every ounce of fun or thought from the concept to create the most vapid Nintendo game ever.
This is a pretty fun game with some fun games.
It has some really clever game ideas and it's fun for the family.
If you want a pleasent party game for the Wii, you might want to get this.
Every so often, a new 'mii series' game comes out for wii- these are basically a party series that exclusively uses your wii's miis to play. They have ranged from great ones, like Wii Sports Resort, to mediocre ones like Wii Play.
But the basic make-up of them all is generally similar: minigames.
Wii Party is the latest entry in this series. This minigame collection sees players using the wii remote to play various mii-exclusive minigames. Some are good, some are bad. Some use the wii remote in clever, enjoyable ways, others abuse it. Some don't use the motion sensing capabilities at all.
But overall, what you're getting is a rather predictable however entertaining package. On your own, there is not a single thing to do- all the options are available from the start. But that's fine, because since when was a game titled 'Wii Party' a single-player experience?
The issue with the game comes with some of the modes. In addition to minigames, there are some modes that use these minigames- balance boat is a good two-player mode which uses only co-op minigames. The aim is to balance 20 miis on the boat. But to get the right size miis, you must succeed at the co-op minigames. But for every great game like Balance Boat, you get an unengaging minigame like Globe Trot, which is a competitive game that requires players to explore the world in between playing minigames.
Wii Party is a good multiplayer game, a riot with friends, but the fun wears off quickly.
This is basically watered down Mario Party, nothing more. I had a little fun with this game, but overtime it got repetitive and boring. The minigames are not very fun, the music is bad, except for the title screen.
this game **** because it is nothing like a party. even if the game says that you're invited, do not go to it, like Project X (2012 film, R), because it won't be fun. It is also a terrible rip-off of the positive-to-mixed-reviewed Mario Party series.
SummaryMost video games require players to focus their attention on a screen. Now Nintendo brings the action into the living room with Wii Party, a game that changes the way people interact with other players. Featuring 13 different party game modes and 70+ minigames, Wii Party can be enjoyed by everyone in the family, regardless of age.
