Wii Sports Party

Just ordered this for 14 euro at play.com - it`s just been released and I can`t find ANY reviews for it (not a good sign). So my question is... have I just wasted 14 not-very-hard-earned euro?

Not seen it before but just ordered it. ;)

Looks ok to me. Good for a laugh and for only £10 if its s*** I will just sell it on.

Well if nothing else at least the graphics look to be semi-decent - hopefully they`ve put the same amount of work into the gameplay... but don`t blame me if it`s rubbish ;)

I put it on late at night on the PJ after an extensive HD movie session and honestly thought it was complete cack. I`ll admit I only "played" it for about 30 minutes and I was pretty jaded at the time so I`m willing to give it the benefit of the doubt but the controls were complete pants, graphics ranged from quite impressive to complete pants and was it just me or is there no "practice" mode? It was a major pain in the ass having to wait until the other 3 CPU players had their turns (billy no-mates :) ) before you got another shot at embarrassing yourself?

I`ll give the instructions a run-through and give it another go when I`ve more time to get used to the controls but alas that`s the trouble with first impressions... you only get to make one. :/

well the menu system is a bit naf but the games aren`t to bad. Like I said, my daughter liked it so i will be keeping it. You don`t have to have 4 players, you can set it up for 2. I think you can do free play but not 100%. When you play the darts if you press A first you can aim and compensate for the wind (doesn`t tell you that) and once I found that out it was better. Same with horse shoes. Not played any basketball games or volley ball yet. Golf was a bit hard for Grace so we skipped that too.

For £10 its a keeper for my daughter.

Looks like the public have spoken. I should have known that no-one makes better games than Nintendo:
