    This game was only okay for my family. The instructions need to be more clear. I cannot complain to much since I bought it used for 6 bucks. I can honestly say it is worth that much. I would have been very upset had I bought this brand new in the store. We would have had more fun if it had come with the instruction book ( but I've read that it's not much help.) and the glasses.This game was only okay for my family.

We'll find glasses eventually, or we will make some.… Expand

    This game is not worth buying. You're better off buying Cranium Wow the board game. The difficulty is using the remote control and not the actual questions that are given.

    The reviews have really trashed this, but its not that bad. The motion controls *aren't* broken, they're just very specific. For instance you might have do a motion like "shake a maraca". If you do it up and down, it wont register, but shake it left to right and it will. Its just a matter of quickly changing tactics if something doesn't work.

But overall its not bad (boring without friends of course). Would be a good buy when on sale.… Expand

    This game is great as a party game, the more people you have the more fun it tends to be. Some of the games are a little unresponsive which is annoying such as the acting/miming one it tells you to act something on the screen with your wii remote ie. hammering, but it doesn't always respond which leaves you whacking it so hard you injure yourself! But the games are light hearted fun!

    As a video game, Cranium Kabookii offers an experience that can't even match that of its low-tech predecessor. The poor control and repetitive gameplay coupled with the underwhelming graphics and sound make for an experience that's better left off of the video game console and back on to your family's dining-room table.

    Cranium Kabookii is a good idea taken down by some questionable execution and the eventual realization that not only is the board game a better value, but it's just more fun.

    It's totally devoid of game modes other than the core team-based play, so forget about it unless you plan to play with a group of friends fairly regularly. If you do, then this party game offers enough new ideas that aren't seen in every other family Wii title to make it worth adding to your collection.
