Playground Wii

MODEL- 15732 VENDOR- ELECTRONIC ARTS

FEATURES- EA Playground Wii
It's Playtime! Beat your family and friends in a series of
hilariously fun multiplayer playground games on your way to being
the Playground King.
EA Playground captures the exuberance of your neighborhood
playground. The game is easy to pick-up and play, and great fun for
kids, friends, parents, and even grandparents.
EA Playground smartly delivers both traditional favorites and all-
new playground games. Every game is uniquely designed with the
Nintendo Wii's unique controls in mind. Whether you are swinging
the Nintendo Wii Remote to throw a ball at your opponent in
dodgeball, using it to bash away at a tetherball, or navigating a
paper plane through a school hallway obstacle course in Paper
Racers, you'll experience the Wii in a completely new and
refreshing fun way. Play these games and more: Dodgeball,
Tetherball, Wall Ball, Kicks, Slot Car Racing, Paper Racers, & Dart
Shootout.
There's more fun to be had in the rich Single Player mode. In this
mode, you'll explore different areas, meet Playground bosses and
beat them at their own games. But watch out, because the further
you go in the game, the harder the bosses play. Collect marbles,
earn stickers you can use as power-ups, and make the grade with an
"A+" Report Card on your way to owning the EA Playground!

Reviewed on 2008-06-15 Fun as a two person or one person game. 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.

Reviewed on 2008-06-03 great family fun 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.

Reviewed on 2008-05-31 Great for kids, dull for adults 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.

Reviewed on 2008-05-29 Not must own - but no purchasing regrets This game is suitable for the entire family. However, it's the 3 year old that likes it the best. We mainly play as a family - and it does hold everyone's interest fairly well. Pros: lots of different activities slot car racing - multiple prizes/attacks, great game nerf game - my personal favorite, too hard for 3 year old (aiming issues) games very short (e.g. paper airplanes) so can play many rounds Up to 4 players simultaneously Cons: Does not use miis dodgeball and tetherball not so great (hard to control) No staying power - definately does not get played as much as Mario Party Does not encourage kids to get up and move around

Reviewed on 2008-05-21 A Blast for the kids! The first time I saw my kids play this was at a friends house and they loved playing dodge ball and the paper airplane race. Now they have the game and are playing just about all the sports on there and very well. They love the soccer/volley ball combo game. The slot race game could be a bit longer but it's a bunch of fun even for you parents especially dodgeball against your kids! We play mostly the free play, because I have 3 kids they usually won't allow anyone to play the single player mode to often that seems like fun as well. I would really get this for your younger kids, they will love it.
