    So, the conclusion is this: you got a free game with your Wii when you bought it right? Just play that.

    The wave of Wii shovelware has officially begun.

    While the game has “style,” it is pretty much broken.

    Remember all those stories about people having so much fun playing Wii Sports that they accidentally threw their remote through their TV screen? Game Party inspires the old-fashioned kind of controller-chucking.

    With an eye toward putting on some beer goggles to make the game better, we turned to the bottle. Ping Cup has the potential to be a decent drinking game but, again, the controls were mixed.

    Game Party is undeserving of the Wii. The games on display are awful, but the execution manages to be even worse. There is absolutely no fun to be had here, just frustration in large doses.

    Game Party is one of those games that you will try your best to forget ever existed if you're unfortunate (or indeed stupid) enough to actually play it. All of the elements, from the god-awful controls to the disgusting character design, add up to create a game that no one should experience.

    The Game Party experience is like going to a party where there's nothing to drink but Tesco Value brandy and there are only four other guests and they're all racist and then your ex turns up and gets off with a Danish supermodel. Would you pay GBP 19.99 to go to that party?

Ich habe Game Party nicht als schlecht in Erinnerung, aber das könnte daran liegen, dass ich mich bis auf einzelne Spiele nicht mehr wirklich an das Spiel erinnere. Somit würde ich mich jenen anschließen, welche sagen, Game Party sei ein mittelmäßiges Spiel. Zumal auch nicht außer Acht gelassen werden darf, dass es sehr unklug war, ein derartiges Sports Game auf der Wii zu releasen, da auf der Wii bereits die allseits bekannte "Wii"-Reihe existierte, die qualitativ besser war. Zudem liegt der Release dieses Spiels in der Zeit, in welcher sich bereits der erste Ableger der "Wii"-Reihe nämlich Wii Sports sowie der wenige Wochen später veröffentlichte Titel Wii Play, welcher im Grunde auf einer ähnlichen Mechanik basierte, als Verkaufsschlager erwiesen und dem doch eher unambitionierten Projekt Game Party leicht die Verkäufe abspenstig machen konnten.… Full Review »

The games that people love (beer pong, darts, air hockey, etc.) that aren't included in Wii Sports/Wii Sports Resort can be found here and are sublime. If I could choose a game to be remade on modern platforms, it would definitely be a Game Party game. 10/10 would recommend anyone pick the 3 of them up… Full Review »

For someThe shuffleboarding game is fun but the rest of the sports are VERY DIFFICULT to play because of the VERY BAD motion controls . For some reason the controls do not work with the other games . The trivia mode does not make sense. I would not recommend anyone to buy this game. If you want a good party game to play with family and friends , I suggest that you buy wii sports, wii sports resort, Mario and sonic at the Beijing 2008 Olympic games, New super Mario bros wii, mario party 8, or mario kart wii . This game is just a knockoff version of wii sports .… Full Review »
