[WiiWare] The ultimate chomp-off is about to begin. Grab your Wii Remote controller and dig into 12 different foods as you compete against the greatest major-league eaters in the world. This isn't just a race to stuff your face-you'll need strategy to master a smorgasbord of digestive attacks, defenses and counters. These include the Mega Burp, Gas Attack, Antacid and more. And don't forget to keep an eye on your Barf-O-Meter, because if the food hits the plate twice, you're out. Unlock more than 10 characters in single-player career mode, go gut-to-gut against your friends in versus mode, or compete online using Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. Online play supports friend codes, random matchmaking and leader boards. [Nintendo]

It's a great party game, a bargain at $10 and it's the only way to hold an eating contest at your house without someone heaving on your rug.

Due to the repetitive nature of the gameplay the long-term value of this game is questionable, but make no mistake - this game is certainly better than you might have assumed at first glance.

The Onion (A.V. Club)
A bare-bones but well-balanced tribute to America's greatest, grossest underdog of a sport.

With gameplay as shoddy and boring as this, we’d likely quit before the round ended. Bypass Major League Eating: The Game, and save your money for a better meal.

The online multiplayer adds some value, but the core gameplay is repetitive to the max. [Oct 2008, p.74]

MLE: The Game is extremely shallow in both gameplay and modes available. The only people who would have any fun with this game are youngsters who cannot stop laughing at bathroom humor.

There just isn't much content here. It's another clunky, ugly Wii game that consists of waving your arms around looking like a jackass.
