Dayle in Guatemala Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 I'm looking for a new family game for the Wii for Christmas. I've been looking at Wii Play, but, it's a chunk of change, so I want to know if it's worth it. Anyone played it? What are your thoughts and reviews? I have older kids and their friends would be teens as well so I want something fun for them and not little kid-ish iykwim. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristusG Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 We just got it last week! Our family really enjoys playing Mario Party and this is along the same lines as that one is. We played it the other night with an age range from 3 years old to 54 years old and we all enjoyed it. There's tons of mini games, you play hide and seek with the remotes (my kids favorite), you can play a board game, and lots of other things. I definitely recommend it!

Dana Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 We've had it since 07. Meh. The reason to get it is to get an extra Wii controller. As far as the games, they're okay for learning the controllers but they really haven't had a lot of replay value here. For teens, I might think Wii Sports Resort as more likely to be played (the fencing game in particular). Wii Play does have a few mini-games that can be fun to compete against someone. Dh and ds have played the target game and the cow racing game in particular - and occasionally the tank game. But it does seem to have limited play before it gets boring. As always, YMMV. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristusG Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Oh wait...when I said that I recommended it I thought that you were asking about Wii PARTY, not Wii Play LOL. We actually have both. Wii Play rarely gets played. Wii Party is the one we got the other day....that's the one I recommend. Sorry for the confusion LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farrar Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Yeah. Meh. I'd look at Mario Party or Wii Party, which is newish, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKDmom Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 I bought it for the extra controller. The games are ok, but not that exciting. My kids used to like to do the cow races, but they're young. If you subtract the price of the extra controller from the price of Wii Play, you're really only paying $5 or $10 for the games. If you already have 4 controllers, and you have teens, I wouldn't bother with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
