    Cuteness doesn't make up for the lack of an enjoyable game - we hope this only serves a short term in office. [JPN Import; Mar 2007, p.60]

    It's got plenty of cute Tamagotchis, but it's short on depth and is seriously lacking in the fun department.

    A terrible "Mario Party" clone that offers nothing for gamers over five. [Nov 2007, p.85]

    Sadly, "younger players" are exactly the audience that will get the most frustrated, and with the overabundance of minigame driven experiences on the Wii, there are plenty of more enjoyable options.

    The party mentioned in the title is a very short one and players will likely decide to leave it early to knock on other doors: Rayman: Raving Rabbids and Wario Ware offer much more fun for only slightly more cash.

    The mini-games are shallow and one-player only, each turn drags on far too long, and the sheer lack of any actual “party” elements keeps it from attaining even the basic – yet still redundant – entertainment found in the long-lived Mario Party series.

    A boring party game that lacks the pace and originality of its genre counterparts, Tamagotchi: Party On should be avoided at all costs.

    The game moves painfully slow as a result, with the vast majority of your time spent watching opponents take their turns. [July 2007, p.97]

    Tamagotchi Party On! does not give me a single reason to recommend it to anyone. The game is impossible to play with a single player, but the absence of multiplayer mini-games makes this game a complete waste of time for the party gamer--not to mention that actually convincing someone to play this game with you will be a challenge.

    An ill-conceived mess. The board game is lifeless. The mini-games barely qualify as games. This is easily one of the worst titles for the Nintendo Wii.

    Well this was an...interesting experience. I mean, a Tamagotchi party game? Sure why not? I soon discovered why not. It's not a very goodWell this was an...interesting experience. I mean, a Tamagotchi party game? Sure why not? I soon discovered why not. It's not a very good game. The premise is confusing, the computer players are too easy and, worst of all, all mini games are single player. Single player. In a party game. Smart choice guys. I will say though, the game does have some good features. The visuals and interactions between characters are cute and the Gotchi games are a cool nod to the old fashioned Tamagotchis. Still, it's pretty bleh. Not the worst, but I would advise renting it as opposed to playing it.… Full Review »

It’s basically just Mario Party but lacking in the actual fun. I got bored of it after 10 minutes, and when I tried to revisit the game, the disc was too scratched to be readable. It has a fun idea on paper, but as an actual game… eh. Honestly, if you want a good party game. Just buy Mario Party 8 for your wii. Not this, it’s not worth it.… Full Review »
