I felt like a fool playing this game, but I have to admit it really did make me laugh. If this thing had some decent replay value or simply lasted longer, I would have had no problem giving it a 3/5. One evening of play is just too short to give it a stronger recommendation. Frankly, I’ve always found these games highly overrated, I never could understand the mass appeal. Even GameSpot gives this thing a 9.1.
For casual and group gamers, there are better party games out there. Most of the mini-games are just repeats with slightly different graphics. Some of the motions still don’t always register like they should and the entire thing just feels sloppy. The various grips is a great idea though, perhaps the funniest part, and I’ll admit I had more fun than with the portable versions. But overall, it’s still a highly overrated title.
