Family Party: 30 Great Games Outdoor Fun is a new game for the Wii that I had the chance to review.

With winter coming and the fact that I will be inside the house more, I was looking for some fun Wii games to pass the time.

This game’s description said that this game has something to offer everyone exclusively on the Wii™ with a wide variety of engaging and addictive party games featuring martial arts, team sports, individual athletics, and challenging brain games.

So did it live up to it’s promises?

I would have to say that it did. I played the game for a few hours and have only played a fraction of the games available. The games were challenging, and with my perfectionist personality, quite frustrating at times…

The game is designed for a whole family (up to four people) to play at a time. The characters are just normal looking people..no muscle bound freaks or scandalous looking women…just your average every day Joe, Jane, and their children.

One downside of this game is the controls. I found them quite cumbersome at times. Every single game has a different control configuration, and you have to actually read the instructions before playing the game or you will have no idea what to do.

We let Olivia, Ace’s 4 year old cousin, play the prequel to this game with very similar controls, and it was just too much for her to understand. I would say this game’s age range is better suited for 8 yrs+.

Overall, I think this game is great fun for the whole family and may be just the thing to keep your kids active during the cold winter months.

You can purchase the game from Amazon.com for $19.99. A very good price for the amount of family fun you can have with this game.

I’ll leave you with a few screen shots from the game…
