    Too frustrating, non-intuitive controlling.

    Great Party Game!!! For just $20 bucks you're going to find something in this game you will like! Shuffleboard is the best in my home!

    Shuffleboard is the reason to buy this game. It is very well done although the graphics of the bystanders is strange with a rhythmic rubbing gesture on their chests. Game play is well done with excellent use of controller. Dart game was probably second best, table hockey difficult to control. Shuffleboard is the standout.

    The control system simply doesn't work. I don't understand, most of these games we've seen before in other party collections. But somehow Midway seems to have simply done them wrong. Doesn't Nintendo give developers an API for working with the Wii controls? It's like Midway ignored Nintendo's toolkit and then forgot to test their game collection before shipping it.

    Great bargain for the Wii! Don't be dissuaded by the mixed reviews. It takes a little bit of time to figure out the controls, but don't give up! Once you do, the games are a lot of fun and highly addictive. My favorites are darts, shuffleboard, and air hockey.

    Nothing works in this game. the controls are absolutely crap, and the game seems to randomly add realism. for example in the table hockey, your puck will fly off the table at any speed, yet you can not hit the puck hard. there simply is no variable speed, so how exaclty does it fly off the table? this goes with all of the games. it randomly adds errors and mishaps as if you are doing it.

    The worst game I ever got. I own lots of WII games and this one is total crap. I hate the fact I can't return a game like this one. I am not able to exit any games as there are serious controller issues on mine. Basically I enter a game and have to complete the mini game before I can quit. Who wants that?

    If you take the time to learn how to play the games they are fun and entertaining. To exit any game just press the home key on the controller to return to the Wii menu. For the price it is a good game for family gatherings or parties. The graphics are not up to par for serious gamers. We have had players from ages 3 to 64 compete and enjoy the games.

    what a god damn piece of shit! the only reason my dad likes this is because he got lucky (even with the awful, barely working controls) and got his score on the high score board. all he does is taunt me because i don't even want to play this buggy cock game

    Darts, trivia, and shuffleboard are the only ones worth my time. The others were difficult to control. Luckily I bought this one used, and it's going back to exchange for something else.

    Easily one of the worst games I have ever played. The graphics look like a PS2 game, there are really stupidly implemented games, and the controls are just atrocious. Please give this game away as soon as possible. I can't even imagine their sequels.

    Everything about this is terrible. The motion controls are really sensitive and move like crazy. I will not recommend this to anyone. I regret buying this and I sold it on eBay.

    This is a extreme joke of a game. Wii Motion controls like sht, eject this game and personally destroy it.

    The 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.

    This is by far the best game that is considered Shovelware. The entire series is great. 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

    Game Party gilt gemeinhin als eines der eher mittelprächtigen Spiele, welches für die Wii erschien. 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.

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.… Expand

    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.

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