Hello, I bought this game for get-togethers and I must say that it is a decent package and serves its purpose. It has appeal for both kids, folks in my age group(mid-twenties to mid-thirties) and the 'grandparents' crew. The games are sort of a mixed bag.

The first thing to say is the choice of 'character' avatars that each person get's to choose. There's lots of funny-looking characters that are good for laughs to pick from. The second thing that this game has going for it is a pretty decent 'sound-track'. The beats are definitely party sounding; mind you not loud boisterous bru-ha-ha, but rather more of the bob your head while your waiting for your turn. The graphics aren't top-notch, but not to be expected from this type of game.

Now as far as the games go, I'll start with Ping Cup. A difficult game, in that the Wii maneuver for this one was awkward. It did however draw laughs for trying.

The Hoop Shoot is okay, not too difficult. The Wii movements are easy enough.

Table Hockey is also okay, however the Wii movements are Very awkward- holding the remote at a side angle leaves you with a sore wrist after only a minute or two of gameplay.

Trivia is an alright laugh with the group.

Skill Ball is also okay, although its similarity to Bowling from Wii sports takes away from its uniqueness but its fun nonetheless.

And the last two games' are Darts and Shuffle board. These are pretty much the makers of the game as they offer a more competitive feel than any of the other ones, mostly because its four-players (unlike the Table Hockey) and because the movements are bearable and easy enough. The Darts is alot of fun, especially once one player figures out 'where' they should aim, repeatedly, given where they are sitting, standing, ... leaning, lying down, slouching, etc. The Shuffle board has the 'oooooohhhh factor'; in that you watch the puck slowly, slowly...slowly approach its edge, saying 'ooooooooooohhh' and hoping it stops the furthest for yourself and not for anyone else.

So overall the game is definitely geared towards a medium-sized group setting, even though you have only a maximum of 4-people playing at once. The Dart, Shuffle Board to Skill ball make the game, and the feel is competitive enough in these games, coupled with the music, the pop-up scoring is good for laughs and 'in-your-face' gloating.

Overall its a decent and fun game, not something you'd play unless you've got a bunch of folks to hang with, and certainly not something you would play daily.
