4 Stars Fun for the family
This is a great game for the whole family. Younger children may need assitance but overall it is easy. Good for 8 and up.
2 Stars Seroius Interface Issues Interfer with Fun
My husband gave this to me as a gift so we could play together. There are several interface problems that really interfered with the fun we know we can have with these games. First, difficult switching between players to see our “rooms” and “awards” — you have to add and remove people. Second, over sensitivity and under sensitivity both with the controller so that what you point at changes or your actions are difficult to control. Third, Mr. Potato Head gets repetitive quickly and his controlling the viewpoint is annoying. Finally we are very annoyed that we can’t choose our own color of pawns for games — we have established colors we use on these sorts of things offline and it would be nice to use the same on the game.
Now there are good things, too,though I must mix them with more criticisms to be honest. The “Battleship” graphics are fun though frankly they could be zoomed in more. We like the shaking of the dice for “Yahtzee” but again we wish it had a “triple” option since that is the version we like best. The timer and word list for Boggle is a good touch, frees us from a timer and dictionary but we wish it could zoom in more and we noticed the words are censored — perfectly good words are not allowed sometimes simply because they may have a “vulgar” connotation. Please have a child safe option but we are adults playing this.
2 Stars Family Game Night Frustrations
We love these board games and so it was the first game we bought for our new Wii. Perhaps a mistake.
The dice are so small in Yahtzee that you can hardly see them. Picking them isn’t intuitive and scoring is hard. I often end up taking a zero for something because I can’t figure out how to get my score in the right box.
Sorry doesn’t play by normal board rules so that took some getting used to. Why wouldn’t you use the same rules? You don’t get five cards in Sorry, you pick one per turn. Having five cards and trying to figure out what you can do with them on the board is frustrating.
2 Stars not worth the money!
This looked really fun for the whole family when I bought it. My 8yr old is the only one still playing it. The games are very slow and it takes so long to get anywhere with the game. Big waste of money! I will be selling mine
3 Stars Fun overall with a little trouble
I have a couple Hasbro games for the Wii and it seems that with both I have to do a workaround to get more than one remote to work. I have to put in a Mario game (or non hasbro) link the second remote and then put in the Hasbro game to get it to read that other remote. Otherwise you have to share which is a pain. Otherwise overall the games are fun and there are varieties of each so you don’t get bored.
