So, the conclusion is this: you got a free game with your Wii when you bought it right? Just play that.

The wave of Wii shovelware has officially begun.

While the game has “style,” it is pretty much broken.

The Onion (A.V. Club)
Remember all those stories about people having so much fun playing Wii Sports that they accidentally threw their remote through their TV screen? Game Party inspires the old-fashioned kind of controller-chucking.

With an eye toward putting on some beer goggles to make the game better, we turned to the bottle. Ping Cup has the potential to be a decent drinking game but, again, the controls were mixed.

Game Party is undeserving of the Wii. The games on display are awful, but the execution manages to be even worse. There is absolutely no fun to be had here, just frustration in large doses.

Game Party is one of those games that you will try your best to forget ever existed if you're unfortunate (or indeed stupid) enough to actually play it. All of the elements, from the god-awful controls to the disgusting character design, add up to create a game that no one should experience.

The Game Party experience is like going to a party where there's nothing to drink but Tesco Value brandy and there are only four other guests and they're all racist and then your ex turns up and gets off with a Danish supermodel. Would you pay GBP 19.99 to go to that party?

Dick D gave it an8:
If you take the time to learn how to play the games they are fun and entertaining. To exit any game just press the home key on the controller to return to the Wii menu. For the price it is a good game for family gatherings or parties. The graphics are not up to par for serious gamers. We have had players from ages 3 to 64 compete and enjoy the games.

Lon N. gave it a1:
Most of the games are undeveloped.

David S. gave it a6:
I love the shuffle board game...the darts game is ok...the air hockey is ok...the rest suck.

Andrea gave it an8:
This game is very fun...it is also very addicting! Especially the pop-a-shot!

Josh N. gave it a0:
The worst game I ever got. I own lots of WII games and this one is total crap. I hate the fact I can't return a game like this one. I am not able to exit any games as there are serious controller issues on mine. Basically I enter a game and have to complete the mini game before I can quit. Who wants that? If I want to quit I should be able to do it any time I want. I want a refund!!!!!!! AND THE GAMES AREN'T FUN!!!!!

Benihana B. gave it a5:
If you want another simple party game to go along with Wii sports, this is for you. We also have Mario vs. Sonic at the olympics and love all three of these games...This is the weakest of the three. This game gives us a nice addition to party games we did not have. Darts and Shuffleboard are the most fun, table hockey is hard to control, Trivia makes me feel stupid with the extremely difficult questions, others are average. 5 adults have no problem sitting around enjoying this game with a couple of drinks.

Michelle gave it an8:
Great bargain for the Wii! Don't be dissuaded by the mixed reviews. It takes a little bit of time to figure out the controls, but don't give up! Once you do, the games are a lot of fun and highly addictive. My favorites are darts, shuffleboard, and air hockey.
