The speedy pacing and diverse, but limited, mini-games keep the energy high and the excitement rolling. This is one of the can't-miss titles for the brand new PlayStation Move.
There's not much depth here. This game is likely to be abandoned after a few breakthroughs. It'll give a group a lot of fun before it stops though.

Start the Party as a single player experience is seriously lacking, but like most casual games the experience improves when played with friends.
Start the Party's problem is that at £30 the content on offer feels too slight and the fun will start to run out a lot sooner than you'd like.
All good clean fun, then, but it's not really anything we haven't seen before. [Nov 2010, p.95]
As a Playstation Move launch title, it does a great job of showing off what could potentially be done with the hardware in the future, but as an actual game, it stinks.
Start the Party is a collection of entirely un-fun mini games for PlayStation Move with obnoxious presentation. A horrible example of the worst that casual gaming has to offer. Avoid at all costs.
This game has been given some very unfair ratings... For starters this is going to be a great game for: Party's,Kids and the whole family. The controls work well and the graphics are great. This is a real taster of what the Playstation Move has to offer!!!

I have to say, I find some journalists irresponsible for rating this game very low. It's clearly aimed at families, and not at a 17 year old who's out for a blood-splattering body count. Start the Party pull together a bunch of mini games and clusters of micro games where up to four can compete. This is somewhat similar to the Warioware Smooth Moves game on Wii, however, it lacks the staggering amount of mini games which is what made the Nintendo series quite appealing. Start the Party may be lacking in the quantity department, but it sure makes up with player interaction where technically it makes the Wii's offering look like a fossil . The superb use of augmented reality has players looking at themselves on screen, but what really sets it apart is watching your Move controller literally becoming a mole-smashing mallet, a flashlight, sword, and many other crazy items to interact with. Everyone gets to photograph themselves and record their voice for their wacky animated avatar. The graphics are colorful and really well animated, and the host's voice is perfect for this game-show like atmosphere, and at times, quite hilarious. Some games are simplistic and non-memorable, while others are downright clever. Come on, waving an animated portable fan to guide baby birds into nests has got to be seen.. especially when you miss. The game eerily feels tactile at times, between the live interaction and timed force feedback. Will it have the longevity an RPG? Of course not, but open minded adults will have quite a few laughs, and kids will be completely awestruck.

The controller is an impressive example of what she has it and is convincing. Unfortunately, the single player mode for a short time like that. Of boring, ensure that only the changing colors on the Move controller for mood

This game has so much potential only to be held back by lazy developing. Seeing yourself on your television interacting with the screen with depth-in-reality is awesome!! There is no other way to describe it, and all of the mini-games are enjoyable, some more so than others but each game will at least bring you entertainment. The obvious and most devastating flaw with the game is the lack of playability, there are only a few games with very few variations of the games. Therefore, beating and mastering this game to its full extent will take you 3 hours at the most, you may have a little fun with your family in this title, but after playing through the scarce mini games once or twice, your gonna move on to a much better title and never pick this up again.

Start the Party
ist ein Ps Move Spiel, welches die ersten 10 Minuten Spaß macht und einem dann total auf die nerven geht. Es gibt nicht viele Minispiele, die meisten davon machen keinen Spaß, man muss in kurzer Zeit immer soviel wie möglich schaffen, die Steuerung reagiert nicht immer, deshalb fragt man sich auch wo die Punkte bleiben. Der Sprecher ist auch sehr nervig. Ich habe nicht viel erwartet von einem Mini-Party-Spiel und wurde auch nicht überrascht
