    This game sucks...it's completely lacking in depth. The physics are terrible making the golf a complete farce...do not buy this if you are looking for a physically realistic sport simulation, you will not get it. What you will get it a great soundtrack to a very shallow shell of a sports game really meant for young children. Do not waste your money.

    After receiving this game as a tie in with the Switch I was hoping for anything closely resembling Wii Sports. I was bitterly disappointed. The game does not handle well. Controls are blocky. The sports are over simplified and not that fun at all. After 20 mins, we'd tried all of the sports in multiplayer and won't be picking it up again.

    It feels like a game where Ubisoft saw a gap in the market, rushed a game out in 3 months with little polish or care for the experience, and sent it out as a holiday cash grab.

    You are much better off purchasing a fully polished Mario sports game such as Ace Tennis, or Golf when that inevitably is released than this piece of shameful shovelware.    … Expand

    Try it. And you should mind the age rating, 'cause this game is kids oriented in first place.

    A nice (slightly) fitness game with beautiful graphics and sounds.
    All the games within the box are absolutely playable.
    Motion controllers are fully supported. It's funny to play tennis or skating using joy cons. Playing tennis on the hard level may be considered as an average fitness exercise. Splitting screen is fully supported. Not a fun of playing basketball on the motion    A nice (slightly) fitness game with beautiful graphics and sounds.

    Not a fun of playing basketball on the motion controller though.
    It's not a real sports simulator... it's just a funny party game. Never regret for purchasing it.    … Expand

    Can’t recommend it. I’ve played it several times: with my spouse, friends, and by myself. It was slightly fun only once: when we were 10 beers down with my friends, drunk and laughing at the game because it was so ****

    Sports Party is a sports game intended for the local multiplayer, whose life doesn't extend beyond a few hours. It has some technical issues and doesn't offer too much content. However, it may be a good option to spend a good afternoon with friends.

    Sports Party brings back a game originally released ten years ago in a formula of simple, arcade-based sports competitions. While varied and with a good degree of character customization, the gameplay lacks depth and does not reach the highest standards this style of games has to offer. Along with a lack of an online component and some technical issues to solve, Sports Party is not the most indicated game for those looking for some simple, sports-based fun.

    Unlike the Wii days, Sports Party stands mostly alone in its genre on Switch. But, there are still alternatives. Personally, I would check out Bandai Namco’s Go Vacation before this. If this title really speaks to you though, I would only give it consideration at $20 or less.
