Summary: Crappy game.
Comment: This game was purchased because I had just recently since bought a new Nintendo Wii. I got this game and I lost interest with it in about 5 minutes. The game is really bad.

Summary: Is this game a joke?
Comment: This might be okay for kids, but for adults, it's a real snooze. The cup pong took so long we just returned to the main menu. Also we found that no matter where in the room we pointed the remote, the balls, shuffle items, etc. went in the same direction (not true of the darts). Really this should be just darts and trivia. Nothing else worth playing, in our opinion.

Summary: 30 Year Old Adult Review
Comment: Here's the deal, this game is only $20. Buy it! Have some beers & play the dart game with your friends. Totally worth it! Adults and kids will have a good time.

Summary: Fun & relaxing party game
Comment: This is a great collection of simple, relaxing, turn based games that are a lot of fun to play with friends or family. Not all of the games are great, but the ones that are make it worthwhile (darts, shuffleboard, trivia). Over time, you unlock new features and characters that add to the fun. It's definitely worth $18-$20 (half of what many other Wii games cost). It's not for everyone, though. If you're looking for a fast-paced, intense gaming experience then you will be disappointed. Game Party is very casual and best played with others.

Game Party definitely grows on you over time. To be honest, I wasn't very impressed with it the first few times I played. However, there is a lot of depth that becomes apparent after you play (and explore) a bit. All things considered, I like it more than Carnival Games (at half the price).

Summary: Not as exciting as you'd think
Comment: I picked this game up as an impulse (bad idea). not only did I pay more in store than it would've been on Amazon.. but it was without reading reviews.

I finally opened it up after a few days and decided to try out the Skee-Ball.

Turns out the game does have quite a lag.. the sensor doesn't seem to be reading when I'm releasing the ball/etc.

It ended up making me more frustrated than having fun. The only that seemed fun and easy to handle was trivia. Although I didn't like the whole "Spinning of the wheel" to get a category.
