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.

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.

I really enjoy this game and my kids like to play it. Dodgeball with a group of adults is a blast. The downside is that you can get a little dizzy running around the playground.

My kids love this game, I have played it as well but they enjoy the fact they can go from 1 activity to another easily. Even my 3 yr old gets into it.

I'm not a big gamer, but recently purchased this game and brought it to grandma's house for Christmas. The four player games were a HUGE success - especially dodge ball, which left the family in tears of laughter a few times. I wish it was just a fun party game, not a game where you have to unlock venues and players.

as a video game player my kids and i really enjoyed playing this game. I only took me about 2 days to finish the whole game. I like the different games from racing, wall ball,paper airplanes, dodgeball. But going to the different areas i would have liked to see some other games they repeated the games in each section. I do recommend the game but it won't take a long time to finish the game.

We love this game as a family. My 3 year old has mastered dodgeball; the one thing that I can't do on the more advanced levels!!! We play a tournament every night before bed. I wish it had 4 profiles available so everyone in the family could have one of their own, otherwise, no complaints.

Anyone could play this game, it is cute, and amazing for kids. It is addicting trying to beat the levels, there are four different levels to beat. This is definatly not a waste of money, it is the best forty dollars invested into anything before. :) So, go out and buy EA Playground!

My 4 year old son had trouble with this at first but once he (and I) figured out how to play the games, he loves it. He cracks up laughing at the Cow race....we have family competitions with that one. This game is probably better for the 4-8 year old range....probably wouldn't entertain older kids for very long.

I LOVE THIS GAME!!! I thought it was confusing at first but when I got the hang of it...I never can leave it! You have to get all the marbles and play these sweet games to earn golden stickers and everything you have to beat and do is on your report card..like in school. I have to say dodgeball is the greatest game I have ever played on the wii....this is also great to play with friends...I mean who doesn't want to go back into their childhood and play some cool games...like wall ball or as I used to call it "butt ball"..or an exciting game of tether ball? This is a "MUST HAVE!!!!!!!!!"

I have to say dodgeball is awesome, we had so much fun that we lost track of time. It is very simple to understand and you really get into it.
The next day I went into single mode, and it just was not as much fun as multiple players.
Though again I would recommend this game.

If you have children, this game would be good for them. Don't buy this game just because you think Dodgeball is cool. The game gets old quickly.

This game is alot of fun. It may appear to be a kids game but adults will like as well. Running around the "playground" and trying to become the best kid on it is fun.
The multi-player function on the games are fun. My friends had fun on the race track game.
