The presentation is generally good though. Loading times are non-existent and Mr. Potato Head watches over the games, cooing with excitement and pulling funny faces. The game room can be done out in a choice of four themes, with new items unlocked for meeting criteria and beating targets on each of the six games.
So no complaints there, but what has really stifled this collection is EA's lack of generosity and imagination. Kerplunk would have worked brilliantly with the Wii Remote, as would have Operation. Cluedo or Trivial Pursuit would have been more welcome than Sorry, although chances are EA are saving those for standalone releases. Still, for £20-odd this isn't a bad little budget game.

This is the second time this deal has come around so if you didn't get the games the first time now would be a time to complete the collection. Suprised I haven't seen any deals on MS point cards. I think the main reason for this sale is that the new FGN3 is not coming to XBLA, at least it hasn't been announced. Personally I have played the new one and would not buy more than Life, Yahtzee Hands Down, and maybe Mouse Trap. Definately not worth the full disc price. Sorry Hasbro but bad move leaving the FGN XBLA fans in the dust.
