Game Review:

Remeber the Tamagotchi? – The LCD screen handheld digital pet created in 1996 by Aki Maita and sold by Bandai. The Tamagotchi was housed in a small and simple egg-shaped computer. Three buttons allowed the user to select and perform activities such as feeding, playing and checking on its hunger, weight and happiness levels. “Tamagotchi Party On” for the Wii is none of the above. Instead, it is a virtual board game for 1-4 players. This game ‘must’ be played by four players, therefore the computer will play for any absent human players. The game-play consists of taking turns to roll the dice and moving ahead the number of spaces shown. The virtual game board has 6 different types of spaces players can land on, each producing different effects. The primary objective of the game is to collect more “Popularity Points” than the other player. The player with the most popularity points wins and is crowned President. Unfortunately the game-play and minigames found in Tamagotchi Party On are not very entertaining – even for the youngest of players. Also when playing alone, the player must wait and watch until all 3 computer opponents are done taking their turn, which is not our idea of a fun game either.
