From Zany to Brainy
Family Party will have you frantically shaking your Wii remote to make your character run, and mashing the A and B buttons to jump over hurdles and smash through paper walls in track-and-field type events. You'll also be kept on the edge of your seat as you hold the remote sideways and manipulate the D pad to get your character across a teetering platform.

More than just physically challenging, some of these games require serious mental concentration, like the counting game that has you counting up higher and higher with only the first five numbers to start you off. From coordination to intense meditation, this pack of games will keep your whole family on its figurative and literal toes.

Work Your Way Through Loads of Fun
Gamers should start off with the single-player Challenge mode. Not only will this familiarize users with the various game types by putting them through a random set of games, but it will also unlock the mini-games for Battle mode where up to four players can go head-to-head. And while there are ultimately 12 character profiles to choose from, several of which are pretty wild, there are some that require you to unlock them first.

In Battle mode, gamers can select up to six games at a time, allowing users to play them all consecutively without having to interrupt the fun every time with the menu screen. There are also five themes that gamers will need to master, including: shooting, muscle, castle, athletic, and variety. And while some mini-games use the same controls, there is a wide enough selection of random challenges to keep gamers working on their skills to gain mastery.

Family Party: 30 Great Games is a challenging but highly entertaining collection of mini-games that will have you coming back time after time, whether you are on your own, or trying to take the title from your family and friends.




Family Party: 30 Great Games is a silly and entertaining collection of mini-games that will have you coming back time after time.





Customer Reviews
Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Not very exciting
Kids got this for christmas (12, 10, 7). Played it once and then tossed it aside. They said it was weird and really not any fun. I think they need to give it another chance but they are not interested. We saw it at the store for $20.00 and daugther 10 said "Well, what do you expect from such a cheap game?"

Since when is $20.00 cheap?


I think it is not user friendly enough.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A game for the Family and a game for people with skill
"Family Party: 30 Great Games" was a game that consisted of 30 mini-games. The game contained two modes of play which were Challenge and Battle. In Challenge, one player would play through 5 themes of 6 mini-games to unlock each game and theme for play in Battle. In Battle, up to four players could play against each other in the mini-games that have been unlocked. To unlock each of these games it takes skill and good timing. This can be difficult for players at first but the learning curve is fairly simple and the controls are all about shaking the remote with the proper timing. Even when just a couple themes are unlocked it is fun for the family. I had a blast playing with my wife and even with my 1 year old who would just shake the remote. This game can be fun and at just 20 dollars I say pick it up.


Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Ok game, but will be difficult for children
Although I have not played this game too much I figured I would write a review for those wondering what this game is even about. First, this is suppose to be a "family" game, yet as a 21 year old I found some of the games difficult to "win." If you are looking to get this for young children I would advise you not to. Also, you have to unlock many of the games, which I have yet to do so when you get the game you only have about 18 of the 30 games to play. The controls are sometimes difficult to operate and most of them involve the same motions. I played with 2 players and you play against 2 "computer" plays as well. The computer players were pretty good at the games and I'm not sure if you can change their levels. All the games are really short, 2 minutes or less and are timed. If you don't complete it in the set time the game is over. The games that I played didn't require the nunchuk, only the remote. Overall, this game is "ok" but don't expect too much fun or hours of entertainment.
