Wii Party is a party game developed by Nintendo for the Wii gaming console. The game is an evolution in the party game genre, in which along with standard Wii party game action beloved by gamers, players use the Wii Remote in new ways that encourage player interaction in the physical gameplay space, affecting in-game action. The game features more than 70 party games, broken into multiple game categories, 1-4 player game support and new and fun ways to integrate Miis into your gameplay.

An Electronic Game Board for the Whole Family
Most video games require players to focus their attention on a screen, but now Nintendo brings the action into the living room with Wii Party, a game that changes the way people interact with other players.
Wii Party is a family-friendly party game featuring 13 different party game modes and 70+ mini-games. Individual games are diverse in design, incorporate importable or system generated Miis, and fall into several different categories. These include: Party Games supporting 1-4 players that in some cases utilize an in-game game board, navigated with the use of Miis and dice rolls; Pair Games, supporting up to two players in co-op play; and House Party Games, which support 2-4 live players and utilize the Wii Remote to create differing dynamics between players.
Key Game Features
- Some of the 13 different party game modes take the fun out of the TV and into the living room. Players have to interact with one another in the real world to get the results they want in the game. Examples of House Party gameplay include:
- A take off on "Spoons", in which players place their Wii Remotes on a table. Each one emits a different animal noise. Players win the round by being the first to grab the controller that is making the sound of the animal shown on the TV.
- Players use Wii Remote controllers to play Hide and Go Seek, where one player asks the other players to leave the room and then hides all of the controllers around the living room. When the other players return, they have to find them.
- Wii Party features multiplayer variety. Some of the party game modes are cooperative, such as "Balance Boat." Others are competitive, such as "Board Game Island."
- In Board Game Island mode, players help their Mii characters compete in more than 70 different mini-games:
- Mii characters ride a rollercoaster while players try to shoot down floating balloons containing gifts.
- Players use their Wii Remote controllers to help Mii characters navigate a virtual game of tag.
- For multiplayer modes, additional Wii Remote controllers are required and are sold separately.

It has a huge variety of mini games, all at varying degrees of difficulty, though none of them are so hideously hard that no one could do them. There's also some larger party games, which tend to use the mini games as a part of them. My older children (6 and 8) can play pretty much any of the games with no help, while my 3 year old needs help on some and can do some without any help. Honestly, even when they're not getting it quite right, the kids generally have fun.
You do need to be able to read to play this, or have someone in the room who can read, as all of the instructions and information are given in text, not recited for you. The graphics are comparable to Wii Fit (in terms of the games, not the personal instructors and their exercises). And it uses the Miis from the Wii, so much like any of the games who do, if you delete a Mii you'll lose them from this game as well. There are options with this game to play as just one player, two players, or up to four. If it's something that requires more people than just the one, two, or three, it'll add in a computer Mii, and you can choose the difficulty for that Mii.
One feature which I really like because it helps out anyone who might not have played the particular mini game before is the "practice" option. So before you actually play the mini game, you can have a practice round, which is great if one player has done it but not another. And great for those who don't quite have the confidence to jump in straight away without a bit of practice. Another neat feature, which threw off my oldest at first, was that it lists the approximate times for each of the games when you hover over them in the menu. So you have a general idea of how long it'll take.
Definitely a fun game, and definitely one I'd recommend for anyone looking for something fun for their children or the whole family!
Board Game Island is fun, because it's like a board game with lots of specific effects with animation. The free play section allows you to select which minigames you want to play (sometimes over and over and over). Tonight, our family spent 30 minutes just playing the rope swing game, in which you are swinging from a rope tied to a tree and have to time when to release to go the farthest distance. We have had SO many laughs, because many times we just fall to the ground or go backwards (it shows how many negative yards you went). Our 6-year-old has as much of a shot winning as my dad at most of the games! Some games take skill and others are pure chance. My parents, who don't know much about electronics, can play easily.
We especially like the Friend Connection, in which two people answer 5 questions in secret and then play a minigame together. Based on whether they answered the questions the same and how well they do on the minigame, you get a score of how close you are (Best Buddies, Good Pals, Working on It, etc). We try to get the highest score possible and beat the other pairings. The dancing by the Miis at various levels of high scores are hilarous. We all crack up at how cute they are, and my girls like to copy the dance moves.
There is a good mix of cooperation versus competition games. Hours and hours of good, clean family fun and lots of laughs!
Pros: I really like that each game gives you an estimated game time. If you want to play a quick game, you can. If you think you want to play a certain game but don't have an hour to finish, you know you have to find a different game before you even start.
I love having the Mii's in the game. I find it more entertaining than games without Mii's.
My kids say it's similar to Mario Party.
I can't stress enough - there are so many games! We even "unlocked" more while playing tonight. An added bonus is having the games within the games. I haven't played as much as my kids but I love the "Balance Boat", having to pass the mini games to determine if you get equal-sized Mii's to balance on your ship or strategically placing one large Mii and one tiny Mii because we lost the mini game challenge. And every time I played the "Balance Boat" game, the mini games were different than the last.
Cons: I agree that the ringmaster not speaking is a little weird but the read-along text boxes are similar to other Wii games, like Wii Fit.
Some of the games leave you wanting more - you get to the end and "finish", excited about going to the next level but that's it. No more levels.
If you just bought your Wii system, this is the game you need to get you started. You won't have to buy another game for a long time!

While some people find the games a little too simplistic, we've found them just the right game to while away the hot humid summer.
The variety of games are a lot of fun. If you're looking for something complicated and with a lot of nuances then look elsewhere.
We like the graphics, everything is easy to see and understand.
What we really like is that there are games for different lengths of time, with choices from 5-10 minutes long or 45-60 minutes long there is a game for however much time you have. Some of the games we've found quite addictive and are always saying just one more game. Spot the Sneak is a real favourite.
I think it would be a fun game to play with a variety of people young and old.
There are also games for one or two people. I think if you want to get children or grandparents involved in playing this is the game for you.
I also think that if you just want something to play that isn't sports or role playing adventure this is also for you.
My husband and I love it and come back to it often. You can make it as stimulating as you want it to be. Or you can make it as boring as you want it to be.
Its all about the attitude.
