I feel sorry for the casual gamers that bought this game and suffered playing it.

How many people hear complaining about Game Party reaching 1M have BOUGHT the game? Or even PLAYED the game?

 

I have a copy and can tell you that the Shuffle Board is cool, the darts is fun and I pulled muscles on the hoops shooting.

I will admit that the trivia is a bit lame, the skill ball is done better elsewhere (see Carnival Games), the air hockey is pedestrian and the ping cup (bear pong) is frustrating.

There is also a feature in the game for seasonal characters. For example, I could play as Santa Claus at Christmastime. I have never seen that documented, however.

Nevertheless, this game moved so well that Gamestop/EB in the US sold it for $25 -- that's a $5 mark-up on the suggested price tag.

 

The game scored low because it is a mini game collection and reviewers HATE those as well as it being on the Wii and reviewers HATE the system as well. (OK, I admit these are over-the-top generalizations but there is some truth to this in many instances).

 

I even plan to buy Game Party 2.
