    If you want a good game with which to play mini games, then Nintendo Land is your game to get. Game Party Champions has some nice mini games, but also enough stupid ones.

    A dull party game which includes an uninspired collection of minigames. Pretty forgettable.

    Unfortunately, the opportunity to take advantage of the launch day madness of Wii U ultimately led to the quality of Game Party Champions suffering considerably. Whilst some of the games included are moderate fun at times, the majority are either too basic or, in some cases, even feel slightly broken and unresponsive. With many other alternatives already available, there is absolutely no reason to touch this.

    Besides the obvious attempt to cash in on the launch of the Wii U, it seems as if the design philosophy of Game Party Champions was to make playing on the TV and GamePad equate to a DS-like experience. It fails miserably. Trying to combine this sort of experience and motion control onto the Wii U's GamePad is frustrating and feels forced.

    There are a lot of minigame compilations out there. But no matter how hard I try, I can't think of one worse than this. Absolutely none of the disciplines can satisfy. And what the heck do you need a story for?

    As welcome as an ingrown toenail and twice as ugly. [Jan 2013, p.100]

    This game is probably what the Mayans meant when they were talking about all this "end of the world" stuff.

    Game Party Champions is – to put it nicely – a bad game. We're not even venturing into "so bad that it's good" territory, either. We're way past that. On the shelves on Wii U launch day, you could pick up any other title for just a few pounds more than the asking price of this. Alternatively, you could have not bothered buying any games, and still had more fun than if you'd walked out of the store with Game Party Champions. This is so bad that your great-great-grandchildren will want to change their surname when they find out that you once played it. Avoid.

I got enjoyment out of most of the games, but not too much enjoyment. There were plenty of flaws, such as bad visuals, Game Pad reliability, terrible voice acting, and a few more. This game isn't horrible, but it's not great, either. It is bad compared to other Wii U games. But it isn't a too bad game. It's okay.… Full Review »
