For $40 Hasbro Family Game Night 2 gets you five board games that would cost around $60 seperately, so it's a pretty good value. Connect 4x4 and Pictureka are a lot of fun, Operation and Jenga are decent, and Bop It is the only failure. These games all have extra features that aren't available in the real-world versions, and some of these variations are quite successful (Connect 4x4, in particular). Some of the menus can be clunky but overall this is a pretty polished effort that will be appreciated by families who game together.

This is one of those games that you think should be good, but trust me, it isn't.
The biggest problem is the game selection. They took mostly games that use physical actions to play, beyond the rolling of dice or moving of pieces around a board. The problem is that these games just don't cross over into the digital realm very well."

In the transition to the video game format, many of these games have changed drastically, and barely resemble the board games on which they are based."

"I remember back in the day, playing classic board games like Jenga and Connect 4. The best things of those games were that they were fun and great reasons to get the family together. Now EA has transformed these classics, and others, into a more digital form with their Family Game Night titles. The first Family Game Night was quite successful so a sequel has been released in hopes of receiving the same reception."
