Customer Reviews

Our 5 year old loves it
Great game for younger kids, as long as they can read or don't mind skipping some text. HUGE variety of mini games, and a lot of them are fun. Board game part is fun as well, with interesting twists to each board. Lots of stuff to unlock as you progress. Solid replay value.

Better as multiplayer, but an adult will easily defeat a child and normal computer players. Kids should play other kids or the computer.

Excellent Game
I like very much this game, I can play it for hours and I never get bored.
I play it with my wife & nephews, and we enjoit a lot. It has a lot of mini-games.

Too button masher friendly
Why does this game seem like it's a better graphic version of a cheap button mashing arcade fighter game?

It's annoying the camera views it uses for each different stage, the buttons are a mess, and the controls are sluggish at times. All you seem to do is hold directions and mash buttons with no real strategy to learn to beat opponents.

The graphics may be nice, the sound is decent, but the controls are horrible. Once I had beaten the game in just a few minutes, I just turned it off and have no intention to every play it again.
