fun games in what context? I find core games to be fun, I find shooters to be fun, gory games to be fun. Hell, I have never played any of the Petz games, but obviously, to someone, these games are fun. Also, I'm willing to bet that Petz actually is pretty fun if you sat down and played it, how many times have you played a game that you almost hated yourself for liking? it comes down to: is this game worth my money? You could play Petz and have fun, but is it worth your money? Probably not.
People like us, posting on forums, generally listen to reviews on games we are unsure of. Does a reviewer give the game a 10 out of 10, 9 out of 10, 8 out of 10, 7, 6, or 5 out of 10 because the game is fun? Look at everything that they look for in a review. People have tons of fun with the mini game compilations. I had a blast playing Guinness World Records. But if a publisher said they were releasing this over a flagship core game for the Wii everyone would be up in flames. But if it comes down to fun, then everyone should be happy that they are getting Guinness World Records
