A good demonstration of the Wii controller and a fun pack of mini-games, but nothing more. Awful single-player mode.
This game is basically just a heap of mini-games. There is a single-player part but that was so boring I didn't even want to finish the first chapter. Some encouragement, like special unlockable mini-games would've most definitively helped. The mini-games, on the other hand, are varying in quality. Unfortunately, quite a few of them have horribly broken controls and are pretty much a waste of time. Most of the mini-games, however, are fun to play. It's these gems among the collections that makes this game playable, and partly worth the money.
Graphics:
Seriously, this look like a GameCube game, a GameCube game with BAD graphics. Sound:
The monkeys make some noises, there's some awful japanese dance/trance music, etc. Sometimes, I feel like turning off the volume because the music is so awfully annoying.
Value:
You're not going to be playing this on your own for a long time, that's for sure. But together with some friends, this game definitively has enough entertaining moments to make you want to come back.
Tilt:
All in all this is a decent collection of mini-games, but quite frankly I find the free game included with the Wii, namely Wii Sports, to be a hell of a lot more fun. Unless you're desperate for some social Wii games with lots of mediocre mini-games, you should stick with Wii Sports. WarioWare Smooth Moves features a much more entertaining package of mini-games, so go buy that instead. Or you could wait for Mario Party 8(which is going to be awesome by the way).
