IGN: GC 2008: Game Party 2 Hands-On

Midway capitalized early on the Wii's success with a quickly developed collection of Wii Remote-sensing mini-games that was aimed to appeal to the Wii Sports casual crowd. Apparently that mess of a collection sold well enough for Midway to give it a second shot, and it looks like the sequel isn't going to be the boffo critical hit either. At least it's a budget title, because the price is the only thing attractive here.

The Worst Wii Exclusives That Everyone Should Avoid Playing

Sherry Baldwin: "I was kind of excited at the beginning of the week when we planned out three features for the current generation of home consoles… That was until I was told my point of view was to pick the worst Wii games released to help potential consumers avoid any “shovelware” as our editor put it. Thankfully there are a lot of quality games on the little white box that many consider to be a game changer in the industry. However we’re not focusing on the great titles the Wii has to offer."

It would take weeks to list all the shovelware from the first 1.5 years.

buzzfocus: Game Party 2 Review

Game Party 2 is one of those titles. From lackluster mini-games to monotonous controls you'll be hard pressed to figure out why you decided to pick up this title.

Ace Gamez Review: More Game Party!

David Simpson writes: "Wii Sports is arguably the best Wii game created so far and it seems that every mini-game collection since has attempted to catch lightning in a bottle once again. Midway's More Game Party isn't Wii Sports, but it so desperately wants to be that it's quite embarrassing.

More Game Party features ten games (Beanbags, Darts, Hoop Shoot, Horseshoes, Lawn Darts, Ping Cup, Puck Bowling, QB Challenge, Skill Ball and Shuffleboard) that have largely been ignored by the gaming world thus far, but after playing them here I just can't imagine why EA hasn't snapped up the Horseshoes licence or produced a Puck Bowling game. Most of these games are set in a pseudo-fairground environment where you aim at targets in arcade machine-like booths; however, none provide the excitement that you can gain from throwing a hoop around a pole to win a pink teddy bear."
