Furu Furu Park is a collection of 30 arcade-style games that take advantage of the Wii Remote?s range of motion to engage and entertain players of all skill levels and ages. Arkanoid: an arcade classic pitting paddle and ball against a wall of blocks; Pinch Hitter: step up to the plate and take a few swings with the Wii Remote; Bubble Bobble: hold the Wii Remote like an NES controller to burst all of the bubbles in this retro arcade puzzler; Safe Cracker: Memorize the combination then enter the code by tilting your Wii Remote left and right to crack the safe; Sonic Blastman 20XX: Clutch your Wii Remote and punch at the screen to destroy asteroids heading for earth; Super Karate: Execute offensive and defensive maneuvers with your Wii Remote to defeat your opponent. Players can also face off against a friend in three multiplayer modes: Free Battle, Panel Attack and Love Challenge where players will have to compete to win female affection. [Majesco]

GameDaily
The presentation is flavorful and creative, and most of the mini-games are enjoyable when the difficulty isn't ridiculously hard.

Cheat Code Central
A great level of Japanese-inspired humor, charm, and the arcade vibe works in its favor, but there's nothing incredibly new or outstanding about the games.

Gaming Target
Not all of them are hits; however, there are a couple of gems that deserve being rediscovered.

Kombo
There are some strong positives with Furu Furu Park, mainly with the classic gaming angle. However, for a genre that lives and dies by how the next mini-game can out-do itself, Furu Furu Park wanders somewhere in limbo.

Nintendo Power
For all the flair and weirdness of Furu Furu Park, the real meat of the product -- the minigames -- ends up being a thin and unimpressive experience.

1UP
The classic games are completely underutilized due to the time limits placed on them, causing each to offer no more than a few minutes of gameplay. There's fun to be had -- just don't expect it to last very long.

A major disappointment and a badly designed collection of mini-games that feel too rushed to be much fun on the Nintendo Wii.

I wanted to like this game--I just couldn't. Whether it's the fault of the changes from the Japanese to American version or the minigames themselves, something just never clicks.

Games Radar
We're not decrying simplicity as a general design element, but too many of the included games feel tossed together, while the few notable ones offer only seconds of unique play.

The original Nintendo DS game was a terrible collection of mini-games, and the Wii version continues that tradition.

Worth Playing
Between painful gameplay that runs the full gamut from "marginally responsive" to non-functional, incredibly shallow options for play, and a fundamentally flawed concept that should have been left in shreds on a meeting room floor somewhere, Furu Furu Park manages to disappoint on every level.

Game Chronicles
If you happen to run across Furu Furu Park for a ridiculously low price it may be worth it but mostly it isn?t.

Gaming Age
What you are left with is a collection of average and uninteresting mini-games that try to grab your interest by quickening the pace.

Game Almighty
Straight up, this game just isn?t fun. While it is fun to laugh at while others are playing it, it only serves as a humiliation tool for others to mock you for playing. Just steer clear, you?ll be a much happier person if you do.

GameSpy
If you're a parent buying this for your kids so that you can save yourself thirty dollars, we can't really blame you. But if you're out of middle-school and decide that this is worth your money you have no one to blame but yourself.

Game Revolution
All the games are too short, or just plain not fun, leaving players with no compelling reason to picnic in this park.
