Customers are saying
Customers love the ease of use and how quickly they can learn the game, making it fun for friends. However, some find the gameplay repetitive and not engaging enough in the long run, with some games proving too challenging. A few customers wish for a more straightforward party game experience, rather than the progression-based structure. The overall experience is considered short-lived by some players.

Pretty Good for younger kids

The characters in this game obviously did not speak English when the game was invented. You do have to read all of the directions because there is no spoken direction. So, if you are trying to occupy a child that can't read well yet while you are fixing supper, then you will not get any peace. If you are willing to sit and help out, it is a pretty fun game, especially for younger kids. I do wish they would leave the target/gun games completely out of kids games and there is one of those type games in this game. So, if you don't like your kids playing that type game, you must monitor what they are playing when this one is in.

I picked this game up thinking it would just be an easy game to figure out. It is easy to figure out but definitely not easy to beat!! I love this game. Different parts of the playground to go explore and different levels of games to try to beat.

Hours of Fun!

This game was such a fun game to play, especially since it was 4-player. My cousins and I played this game over and over, playing all the mini-games multiple times. Our favorite, however, was dodgeball. And the storymode is fun too! I've unlocked many new places and games, but I got stuck on beating some people. It actually gets really hard. It almost seems impossible to beat the storymode.
I recommend this game for people with people to play with. Playing by yourself can get boring.

Great little package of games

Everyone in our family and every guest that comes over loves to play this game. Some of the games are easy enough for my 3 year old to play, yet there are some even challenging enough for an adult. The only downfall is some games are not available in multiplayer mode if you are playing with more than 2 people. These are that games that 2 people would usually play in real life, so it makes sense, ut it would be nice to have incorporated it somehow.

Much better to play in multiplayer than in single mode. Games are fun but some are overly challenging for the type of game it is.
Looks like it should be a kids game but it's not. It's great for the whole family, and is probably more understandable and geared towards adults.
Takes a while to get through and unlock all the different levels of the playground.

This is a very good game. Especially if you have kids. I think this game is fun for all ages. It takes a little movement just like all of the wii games. I liked all of the games and the graphics were excelent.

Cute Game

This is a perfect game for my 9 year old. We can vary our play: same team or opposite teams. Dodgeball game is by far the best. We can't stop laughing at everyone getting hit in the head with the balls. This is a great kids game - no violence. Idea of the game is to work your way around the playground playing challenges for marbles and stickers. Cute idea! My daughter loves the kick soccer too.
