Family Game Night 2 Wii Game Review

Family Game Night 2 Wii Game is the follow up video game collaboration between video game publisher Electronic Arts (EA) and board game champion Hasbro, available October 26th.  With five all new games, the second edition of Family Game Night provides an excellent opportunity for families to play together by incorporating their favorite family games with the Wii, a perfect system for electronic family fun.

Family Game Night 2 for the Wii includes the classic Hasbro games: Operation, where you are the doctor trying to retrieve strange objectives from your patient’s body; Connect 4×4, the classic strategy game with a new twist where players try to get for same-colored chips in a row; Jenga, the game of wit and skill where you must remove blocks without toppling your tower; Pictureka, which challenges you to quickly find hidden pictures in a jumbled mess of images; and Bop It!, a game of quick thinking and rhythm.

Back to emcee your family game night is Mr. Potato Head, who hosts in a brand-new “Game Show” mode which transports players to a live television game show studio complete with an audience and “Challenge Wheel.”

If you played and enjoyed the first Family Game Night from EA, you are likely to enjoy Family Game Night 2.  Of course, much of the fun depends on what types of games you like.  If you like more strategic and quick thinking Hasbro games, Family Game Night 2 might be a good fit.  Some of the lesser known Hasbro games, like Bop It!, are very fun if you like quick moving games.

The biggest obstacles with this Rated E for Everyone game is that it might be difficult to incorporate kids under 5 who may not yet be equipped to handle Wii games that require lots of motion and coordination.  Many young players need games that only require modest remote motion or button clicking.  The first Family Game Night for Wii was actually a little more kid-friendly as it included board games where time was not as much of the essence in game play.

Still, if you have quick-thinking youngsters or want to have family fun with older kids and adults, Family Game Night 2 is an excellent fit.

Product features of Family Game Night 2 Wii game include:

• Family-friendly multiplayer fun for up to four players that includes Mii avatar support.
• Sequel to the award winning Hasbro Family Game Night.
• Play classic and all-new versions of your favorite Hasbro games: Operation, Jenga, Bop-It, Connect 4×4 and Pictureka.
• Play with your Nintendo Mii in the Hasbro Family Game Show, which encompasses all five classic games included. Customize Mr. Potato Head and earn new themes and trophies.
