Hasbro Family Game Night 2 is nothing but a way to take advantage of the Wii's younger and more family-oriented audience. But at that, the game is actually a pretty solid title. With the exception of Bop It, every game is playable and has its own unique flavor to it, keeping things fresh and interesting. If you're looking for a good stocking stuffer for a young Wii owner in the family, Hasbro Family Game Night 2 isn't too bad.
Gaming Nexus writes: "But instead of going on and on about the great fun most Hasbro games are, this review will probably read like an "airing of grievances" from Seinfeld, because I have a lot of issues with this game. 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."
VGC writes: "Hello, and welcome to Hasbro Family Game Night… 2! There's not a whole lot to say; it's a collection of five Hasbro board games: Connect 4x4, Bop it!, Operation, Jenga, and Pictureka. 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."
Nintendo Now writes:
"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."
