Block Party - 20 Games Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Do NOT buy this game, don't even rent it.
Menu is basic, single & multi & music & sound levels. The music is actually nice, kinda Broadway musical feel. Too bad ITS ONLY IN THE MENU. There is NO music during gameplay. There are no sounds other then requisite 1-2 sounds of whatever your doing & a lot of giggling & "whoa" for no reason. The colors are bright & cheerful, but there is no texture, no nothing. It feels half done & halfheartedly at that.
There are a lot of bugs, in one that you are a human sling shot, you sail in the air, my character landed sideways & flat. In one balancing on the ball, one of the AI was a blond boy, when the game ended, it was a redheaded girl.
There are 4 sections to cycle through, each with 5 games, 2 of which are locked. You have no idea which game unlocks those & you must get 20,000 points.
The game styles are inane. Shoot SCARY looking 3D bugs that fly AT YOU complete with blood red eyes before they eat your cake, STUN the dog who ate your friend so you can pry your friend by their feet out of the St. Bernard's mouth. Follow the trace lines like a Rayman Raving Rabbid game w/o the personality, MANY shooting games: shoot clay targets, shoot your characters balloons, shoot the BOY riding in the free falling tire, etc. MANY hit the buttons displayed games one in which you are hanging on a metal chain over a evil plant in a pot who is trying to eat you, waggle & hit buttons to do tricks in the air like Mario & Sonic Olympics trampoline game w/o the personality & the flips aren't even programmed fully. Drink soda, fart into the air & try to hit the gingerbread cookie targets in the air on the way down, etc.
The text/drawing instructions make sense & work most times when it only involves buttons, though once the instructions were wrong by saying to shoot the OPPONENTS balloons to win, but the goal was to land which means shooting your own. Though the games has trouble recognize the movements correctly & sometimes doesn't respond AT ALL & even the IR for shooting feels sluggish & off. Anytime in the "rhythm" games w/o the music, if it asks you to swipe to left/right or up/down, it rarely works. Even pushing forward to launch yourself in Sling shot doens't respond the first 3x. Some games are even insanely difficult for anyone, much less a child.
Balance ball - using nunchuck stick to balance left & right (constantly moving) & on the wii mote hit A or B as they quickly for 1-2 seconds scroll under your character.
Chariots of Fruit - no, you pull a baby wagon of fruit & run like M&S Olympics. But no matter what you're still last & the score doens't even make sense.
High Wire hangup - balance the wii mote to walk across. But if the ball in the rectangle telling you where the balance is, the ball & rectangle falls lower on the left, you don't bring the right side down which would make gravity sense, no, you drop the left side LOWER. Same for the right side.
Crazy Clothesline - ok, if the above wasn't hard enough, you do that PLUS you move the nunchuck's stick in a circular fashion because now you're on a short unicycle.
this game was poorly done, from controls, to gameplay ideas to looks. this is PURE shovelware, this is NOTHING good in it. DO NOT FEED lazy & cheap programmers by buying this or EVEN renting it. Your wallet controls how much time/effort companies put into games, don't let them even think this will make them money.
