1 out of 5 stars wii game playground   October 12, 2008
 0 out of 3 found this review helpful

Cant play this game on my wii but amazon was really helpful with replacements and returns. But mote if you are an australian buyer dont get a wii game unless it has 'PAL' on the front or you have a chip in your wii!!


5 out of 5 stars A Must Have!   July 31, 2008
I thought this game was so fun! There are many mini games to choose from, and you can either play alone and roam around the playground opening new games and prizes or play the multiplayer mode with others. The games are really easy, but still fun so it is a good game to have for all ages.


5 out of 5 stars Fun as a two person or one person game.   June 15, 2008
This is a really fun game if you like competition. The tetherball is great as well as several of the other games. There are a lot of games to choose from and they vary in different areas, so I think everyone could find something they like. Great for pre-teens and teens too.


5 out of 5 stars great family fun   June 3, 2008
This is a one person game that everyone in the family can enjoy. My five year old loves this game, and jumps around like a rabbit on uppers while he plays it! My 3 year old likes it also, but isn't adept enough with the controller to play any of the games well. I think it is directed more for children 5-10, but call us kids at heart, both my husband and I enjoy playing the games. If it was just us, I doubt I would have gotten it, but with kids, it is a great choice. Everything so far in the game is non-violent and based around things you might play on a playground.


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.
