It may not be a traditional game experience, but that doesn't mean Kinect Party is boring. On the contrary, whether you're five or 50, messing around in Kinect Party is an enjoyably amusing time-waster.
A great game that's really fun to play. It doesn't require much more than your attention and the permission to let your guard down. Once you buy in and let the grins come, you'll be surprised at the trade off that occurs, you playing Kinect Party, and it playing you.

This is the only game that my son and daughter (ages 3 and 4) can play! They love it, and the ability to share photos is perfect! I love the looping option where it can go all day if you want it to - great for having guests over to play! Highly recommended for all ages. 10/10

Its giddy, family-friendly spirit makes Kinect Party a perfect game for adults and kids alike - though not necessarily in groups of five or six, where the game feels crowded and players may end up vying for screenspace and floorspace, even in a large, Kinect-ready room.
Comprising of 36 mini-games it's a breathless quick-fire assault of weird and wonderful challenges and play tools for up to six players. [March 2013, p.90]
Kinect Party is lots of fun, even though it gets frustrating when the
game aggressively tries to get you to post your weird party pictures
on Facebook. With more games and a small number of improvements,
Kinect Party easily exceeds its predecessor. Kinect Party understands
the shortcomings of the Kinect and that makes it one of the few games
worth checking out on Microsoft’s peripheral gadget.
It's hard to deny the sheer amount of fun that Kinect Party offers. [Issue#94, p.83]
It's certainly worth the $10 if you're willing to let your imagination fly!
This is the only Kinect game that I and my kids have actually enjoyed. They have a blast with it and there are some truly neat effects as well as a wide variety of game types. You will find yourself laughing along with some of the crazy stuff that occurs in this game and it also takes pictures frequently which you can save or share online.
The most fun thing to do is put it in shuffle mode, where it keeps rotating to a different game every few minutes. It is one of the few games that works with three people, too, which is nice, and you don’t feel penalized if the family dog walks through the game. Ours does this sometimes but it results in often humorous consequences instead of a frustrating loss of control, as with other Kinect games.
Kinect Party is not worth buying a Kinect for, but if you already own one, you should definitely get it. If more Kinect games worked this well, that sensor might be worthwhile instead of a piece of junk.

Like Happy Action Theater before it Kinect Party does a great job of exploring the possibilities of the Kinect with simple and easy games. While some games are better then others all of them show you something new that can be done with the Kinect. Both my kids love the game and the social connectivity makes it easy to upload picture with the added kinect effects to facebook etc. If you have younger kids a definite must buy on XBLA (oh and it is free if you purchases Happy action theater previously)

Cool game to put on when friends are over, does a good job of breaking the ice. The automatic shuffling of activities is cool so you can literally just jump in. Not the kind of game I would play for very long on my own though. It's just a game that "is what it is". Serves a purpose but there's not much beyond having something in the background. I can see it being pretty fun for very young kids too.
