Lucy Evans gets in the party mood and takes 40-in-1 Explosive Megamix for a whirl. Was it was mini-game bonanza she was hoping for? Check out our in-depth review inside.
DHGF: Look, I like the idea of 40-in-1 Explosive Megamix. Giving the consumer 40 games for a measly $8 sounds appealing in concept. The problem is, none of the games in this package are particularly good or memorable. I’ve found maybe a few that are entertaining enough to try and meet the completion threshold for them. Unfortunately, you’ll find that most aren’t worth playing more than once, much less enough times to try to complete them, and the fact that you have to unlock 30 of the games doesn’t do much to inspire enthusiasm. Unresponsive controls, a grating soundtrack, and some broken gameplay combine to make a package that’s just simply not recommendable, especially at that price point.

NintendoLife: You’re given a bag of sweets. On the outside they’re a bit misshapen or broken up, but at least they’re brightly coloured, there’s a big variety of flavours and there are plenty of them, right? The first one doesn’t taste quite right. Neither does the second one. Nor the third. Half the bag has to be thrown in the bin when all is said is done, with a further quarter left in various states of non-consumption.
