    Outside of its smaller missteps, Retroid Interactive has created a multiplayer game that feels made for the Wii U. There is a good variety of words on offer, but the key to keep players is adding your own categories and tailor it constantly to new players.

    You’ll get gameplay that is both fun and funny, with plenty of options to make sure everything goes to plan. For eight bucks, that’s a worthwhile purchase.

    It’s not an original concept, but taking the Pictionary idea and bringing it to a touch screen enabled, internet connected video game console genuinely adds a lot to the experience.

    It doesn't reinvent the board game it's inspired by, but it does streamline it quite well.

    PictoParty is based on the classic Pictionary and it delivers what it is expected of it: it's a fun word-guessing game that ensures a good time with friends and family. It doesn't, however, clearly stand out from other similar titles in the Wii U catalogue and its lack of online mode make it less appealing than it could potentially be.

    My only complaint about the game is that it limits you to six colors, but that’s still five more than the board game. It is perfect in what it attempts to be and really that’s the only thing that matters in this particular case.

    So simple game, and so excellent! if you are a small crowd, this game is as good as it gets, and i'm usually not a fan of drawing games. TheSo simple game, and so excellent! if you are a small crowd, this game is as good as it gets, and i'm usually not a fan of drawing games. The best part of the game is the possibility to create your own dictionaries, after playing a few times and added more words every time, the game is almost infinite. the music is background music, as i should be, and the background theme is basic and just nice! I recommend this game for all who likes to play with friends, and you only need one controller.… Expand

    This sounds exactly like the drawing game in Wario (which is by far the best thing about that game). We have played that tons, but it is niceThis sounds exactly like the drawing game in Wario (which is by far the best thing about that game). We have played that tons, but it is nice to have a proper version with better word lists and options. I don't like the ability to use colors (so many things are so easy to draw just by using color) but I guess we can just agree to just use black.… Expand
