BlogCritics: Hasbro Family Game Night 2 is a great idea with promise, however I feel it needs some tweaking. Overall, I don't think that I would recommend purchasing this, but rather go out and rent it, try it out and perhaps you will have better luck than we did with the games. A definite "try it first before buying" game, in my opinion.
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."
Tamer Asfahani looks at the latest EA offering in the shape of Hasbro's board games.
An excerpt: "EA has taken Hasbro games under its wing, and over the last few years released some classic board games in digital format and ranging from Battleships to Monopoly. But really how impressive are the games in digital form, and have they been tweaked to make them more engaging on the platforms on which they're released?"
