4 out of 5 stars Great for kids, dull for adults   May 31, 2008
The ideas are there, the backgrounds done well, the idea of marbles that you have to collect forces you to explore & the types of games are original.
The nerf darts shooting (at cans, targets & other kids), stock car racing & paper air plane racing are first person view or the camera is right behind the car/plane to keep it exciting.
All the other games (dogeball, handball, tetherball, volleyball/soccer combo game) have the camera view in the audience, which to me makes it more dull in my opinion.
You can do story mode single player to unlock different backgrounds/game tracks. For the beginning, you only have playground & when playing it's always the same track. You can also do quick races as single or multi player & choose any game, your own rules: goals needed, level of difficulty, length of game, track (if unlocked), etc.



3 out of 5 stars Not must own - but no purchasing regrets   May 29, 2008
 9 out of 9 found this review helpful

This game is suitable for the entire family. However, it's the 3 year old that likes it the best. We mainly play as a family - and it does hold everyone's interest fairly well.

Pros:
lots of different activities
slot car racing - multiple prizes/attacks, great game
nerf game - my personal favorite, too hard for 3 year old (aiming issues)
games very short (e.g. paper airplanes) so can play many rounds
Up to 4 players simultaneously

Cons:
Does not use miis
dodgeball and tetherball not so great (hard to control)
No staying power - definately does not get played as much as Mario Party
Does not encourage kids to get up and move around



4 out of 5 stars A Blast for the kids!   May 21, 2008
The first time I saw my kids play this was at a friends house and they loved playing dodge ball and the paper airplane race. Now they have the game and are playing just about all the sports on there and very well. They love the soccer/volley ball combo game. The slot race game could be a bit longer but it's a bunch of fun even for you parents especially dodgeball against your kids! We play mostly the free play, because I have 3 kids they usually won't allow anyone to play the single player mode to often that seems like fun as well. I would really get this for your younger kids, they will love it.


5 out of 5 stars Fun for the entire family   May 20, 2008
This game had caught my eye a while back and I'm so glad I decided to purchase this. My 5 1/2 year old son, husband, and myself all love and enjoy this game. I like the range of mini games you can play and how you can unlock new and different games in each area. For my family I think our favorite is the dart gun game. Lots of fun, I highly reccomend this game.


5 out of 5 stars Great Family Game!!!!   May 17, 2008
Just rented this game and we will be purchasing it. It's a family game and really good for the 5-9 year olds. Simple and easy with lots of action and fun. Great to play with the kids. A+++++ much much better than carnival game.
