    Mario Party 7 has a minigame, Tile and Error, in which players must ground pound tiles to claim territory. The fact that Flip Wars can so easily be compared to a 30-second minigame from over a decade ago should say a lot about what you’re getting yourself into if you purchase this. Some of the hip dropping, tile-flipping mechanics are genuinely interesting, but Flip Wars is essentially a $10 minigame and a rather average one at that.

    Although I hoped Flip Wars would turn out to be a fun online and party game when I first saw its footage, the title turned out to be a disappointment void of any real merit. The gameplay is clunky, content is slim, and power-ups do little to remedy the experience. The lack of a single-player mode and virtually nonexistent online make recommending this title even more. Ultimately, Flip Wars’ release made my disappointed Nintendo published an unfinished game like it in the first place.

    Flip Wars is in some ways less fleshed out than the demo for Fusion Frenzy. Almost every feature, from the blocked out local mode to the disappointing "My Room" option (that's less of a room and more like a statistic menu), is a half measure.

    Flip Wars is not worth buying at all right now and it needs a lot of work to come close to being decent let alone good.

    Flip Wars' problem is that it has no depth whatsoever. That silly, simple, chaotic, and utterly pointless button masher that you had a quick laugh at when you play it for the first time really is all that’s on offer.

    Sure the price is cheap and for a few minutes most might be entertained but the level of repetition, dull gameplay, and boring visuals do nothing to make players want to continue the Flip Wars, and it’s ultimately a failure in almost every sense. The game works and doesn’t seem to have any huge issues, but that’s about the best I can say.

    If you're looking for a party game and you're on a budget i recommend getting this or crash drive 3.

    Very fun with a group of friends, this is what video games used to be about - simple yet competitive.

    It looks fun and the first few games are interesting and cool but you quickly realize that the game just isn't fun. I don't really know why, the game idea is fine. Flipping tiles by jumping on them to cover the most area is something that's been done in Mario party and that was fun but this just isn't.

    There are a big variety of maps and some game modes but every game feels the same and it doesn't always feel like the best player wins. The movement feels weird sometimes too, it's like you move slower up and down and faster sideways, don't know why that is.

    Get bomber man or astro bears instead.    … Full Review »
