Sadly no it doesn't the game sees the seven original games return with very little difference between the versions that were included in the original game. There are five new mini games these include Lawn Darts, Horse Shoes, Bean Bags, Puck Bowling and Quarterback challenge. However all the new games with the exception of Quarterback challenge have you doing pretty much the same thing giving the games controls a very generic feel. They also feel very similar to the controls that are used for some of the games that were included in the original game pulling them ever deeper into the generic pool that More Game Party seems to be!"
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."
I can't argue with most of those titles, because I never even heard of most of them. LoL
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.
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."
