Wii Party Review

What makes Wii Party different from the rest?

Wii Sports, Wii Play or Mario Party. Nintendo’s motion sensored console definately doesn’t have an absence of casual and fun multiplayer games. Who could blame Nintendo though? Their main target seems to be that of a more family orientated or casual gaming audience. Now Wii Party is the latest in the series of multiplayer games that the Wii seems to love.

So what is Wii Party? At first glance it seems just like any other Wii Party game. You can choose to play games from one to four players using your own Mii which is a nice personalisation as with previous party games although certain game modes are strictly for more than one player. You compete against each other through a series of mini games in attempt to come out on top.

Wii Party has many game modes. The first which are known as party games and are split up in five categories. Board Game Island requires you to navigate around a board attempting to beat your opponents just like Mario Party. Globe Trot is a game that requires you to use more of your brain as you aim to travel to places such as India, Egypt and the USA in order to gain the most souvenirs and photographs. Unlike Mario Party, Wii Party manages to make use of quick gameplay. There aren’t any traps that slow down the gameplay, just a nice, fast paced game although the ability to skip NPC turns would have been nice.

The variety of games throughout are brilliant. From can shooting, barrell stopping, jigsaw swapping and many more, you won’t find yourself complaining about a lack of games. They all make fantastic use of the Wii – mote and all are fun and quirky to play. It’s a shame that other party games can’t be placed on the same level. Modes such as spin off although you can play mini games often come out as rather bland and boring. You spin a wheel board aiming to win the most coins. It takes a while to finally play a game and you’ll find yourself often watching coins just going into the bank. The only way someone could possibly do that for a long time is if it was real money.

What makes Wii Party special though is not the quirky design and music which is trademark Nintendo but the house party games which bring a new level of interaction to party games. Games such as Animal Tracker which players lay the Wii – motes out and attempt to be the first to pick it up after an animal sound is emitted, or Time Bomb where players must pass the Wii – mote around before it blows up on screen are fun and interactive multiplayer games. They’ll often get everyone involved unlike any other on screen games making them very nice touches to any party game.

Wii Party is a fun game that should get any casual party going. The majority of the games are often fun, exciting and they will get everyone in on the action. If you like the social element of gaming then Wii Party should not be missed.
