Digital Chumps: "Since 1987 on the Apple II and Commodore 64, we've seen several completely different versions of Family Feud for over a dozen different gaming platforms, each offering its own take on public survey-rooted pandemonium. Today, with Family Feud: 2010 Edition, Ubisoft brings us the latest in this long line of soccer mom impulse buys-and, sadly, while it's solid enough thanks to the predictive text entry and time-tested TV game show design, it ultimately does very little to transcend the typical mold of low-budget licensed game mediocrity."
Hollywood Chicago writes: "Several Nintendo Wii games have been released in the last few weeks that might be just what you're looking for when you do your holiday shopping this season. With so many huge releases like "Uncharted 2," "Ratchet and Clank Future: A Crack in Time," "Left For Dead 2," and more taking up advertising space, it's easy for smaller games to slip through the cracks. We're here to catch them."
Overall, both games are highly recommended. The questions and games are appropriate for kids of all ages. The games themselves don't take as much advantage of the wiimote and miis they use Ubisoft's avatar customization instead, which provides minimal choices in both look and behavior but all in all, you'll get quite a bit of fun out of these playing alone or with the family.
While there are better and more interactive party games on the market that can attract the whole family (like Mario Kart or Smash Bros. Brawl) an older crowd looking for a halfway decent rental may find this to be a passable experience. Anything beyond that… forget it.
