Family (of 2) Game Night 4
The titles included are Bop It, a button matching game where players 'kick it', 'twist it' etc. by following the on-screen prompts. Connect 4 Basketball is a strange merging of the sport and the classic game. Similarly, Yahtzee Bowling is an unnecessary combination. Sorry! Sliders feels like a mixture of bowls and curling, with players aiming for the centre of the board for the highest points. The following player can attempt to knock their marker off the board, and the player with the highest points wins. Finally, Boggle Flash is a word creation game, which is arguably the best in the collection. Each game can be played individually, and a variation is available on the original format. For example, Boggle has an additional mode called 'Five letter Flash', which resets the letters upon scoring a five letter word.
Each game is a best of three scenario, which can drag out a 'show'. Why this cannot be adjusted in the options reeks of laziness. For time purposes, players should be able to adjust the settings to have a one game match, or increase to best of five. Sadly no such luxury exists with Game Night 4. Even more criminally (especially for a game with 'Family' in the title) it only caters for 2 players. This is product misrepresentation of the highest level, and it is utterly astounding that 4 players cannot be accommodated.
Family Game Night 4 proves that Hasbro has milked its catalogue dry, and there is absolutely no reason why Family Game Night 5 should ever be made. Incredibly, the game manages to alienate its target audience by severely limiting the amount of players. It would be easier, cheaper, and much more fun to simply dig these classics out of the attic. At least the whole family could have a go.
