Xbox and Warner Brothers MUST recall this game

DO NOT BUY! "Game Party" *MUST* be withdrawn from sale. This game was made by Warner Brothers (WB). They need to recall this game. Those who bought it should be reimbursed with a replacement of a new updated game that works. Please contact WB & Xbox to inform them of the issues with this game so it never happens again. They need to play it for themselves so they can see that this game should NEVER HAVE BEEN RELEASED in the first place. This is not an issue with the Xbox console or Kinect sensor - it's just this game. All the other Kinect games work fine. WB & Xbox must do something about this game. Nearly all the 1 star reviews of this game are similar to my own experience.
I just bought the Xbox/Kinect this Christmas. I chose Xbox over the Wii for much better graphics, resolution & gaming quality after having a PS2 for many years.
I bought "Game Party" for the kids & family to have something other than violent shoot 'em up games. It's so frustrating just to get "Game Party" to work that nobody wants to play it. It took me forever just to get into a game only to have it take me backward out of games repeatedly. Often the go forward & backward would both submit at the same time. Once I was finally in a game the tracking was bad & made the game unplayable.
I really wanted this game to work because I love most all the 16 games in it. I hope Xbox will come out with more arcade type games like this because we (even the kids) get too worn out with all the sports games. The ambulance is expensive to have on standby.
Warner Brothers & Xbox must do something about this game.

game play sucks on this compared to the other games. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!!!! You will waste all your money on this game. I would have rather sent $40 to Sally Struthers to feed the kids overseas.

It's a good game, though it does have some glitches.. It's not quite as good as Kinect sports or adventures; but it's still a great game to play. I like the outdoor sport games.

A few of the games were hard for the kids to get the hang of and they chose to move on from them and haven't gone back. Ex: Darts

Avoid at all cost. Trying to navigate the menu alone causes tension with all players! The game play is ridiculous!! Come on Best Buy, quite carrying this title!!

I am by far not a gamer. The only system I have ever owned was Atari. I won this xbox 360 and Kinect and have been playing the adventures game and the Kinect Sports. Both those games are a blast. This game is terrible. I can not stress that enough. It is extremely frustrating! The menu is slow and does not work with the Kinect at all. Save your money and buy something else.

I have regrets in my life. You don't need to know them all (that's between me and God#, but one of my most recent is purchasing this "game" along with not heeding the advice of those who have unsuccessfully attempted to Party In Motion before me. The potential for a fun time with the family was there, but out of the two games we actually managed to get into we spent more time grunting and sighing than playing. As others have stated, the navigation is a nightmare. You have to select "OK" before, during, in-between and after EVERYTHING and I felt like a drunk mime trapped in a box trying to find "waist level" with my right hand #once it happened to be just under my right armpit). I'm not sure how this game hit Platinum Hit status. I know we need to do our part to stimulate the economy, but not like this... not like this.

My wife got this game for me for christmas. A very boring game that lacks excitement. Graphics are cheesy, game selections are limited and a very long menu option. Save your money.

This game is a complete waste of money. The games are boring and they don't accurately capture your motion. Even my 3 and 6 year old kids were bore after just 10 minutes. Don't buy it.

I bought this game thinking it could be played online against friends. Researching it online lead me to believe you could. Unfortunately...you can't!! This really really should be an online game. Don't waste your money.

This was not worth the investment - not one of these games were we able to complete - wish I could get a refund.
