Squeeballs Party Wii Game Review

Squeeballs are a collection of 12 little round creatures manufactured on a secret island in the Pacific.  Before being distributed to the world for little boys and girls, the toys must be tested.  This is where you come in as the player.  Your job in the Squeeballs Party Wii Game from Aksys Games, released on October 15th, is to put the characters through a series of tests in 11 party games and over 150 challenges.

You can blow up, cook, slice, bat, bowl, shoot, and bounce the Squeeballs in single games, head-to-head matchups or four player party mode.  The eleven party games take place in a variety of settings including lava canyons, bowling alleys, kitchens, science labs, and snow-capped mountains.

The Squeeballs Party Wii game edition is a family-friendly game that is rated E for Everyone (10+).  The opening scene of the game gives you a good indication of the direction the game takes.  While it might seem a bit over the top to some parents to have your kids knocking over bowling pins with little creatures on them, or swatting Squeeballs with a racket, the experience is relatively mild.

The game has an E rating for players 10 and older, though younger kids (5-10) that are not overly sensitive or akin to violence should have no problems seeing the clever fun of the game. If you do have a more sensitive child or are especially concerned with violence, you might want to watch the Squeeball Party Trailer to get a feel for the appropriateness of the game for your family.

One hugely tremendous benefit of Wii Squeeballs is that it is one of the easiest games for kids to play.  Too many “family” Wii games require coordination with buttons and remote that some kids can’t handle.  Squeeballs bowling is a simple armswing and release of a button.  Other games are similarly easy to play.

The sounds and lively action in the game are what give it an upbeat and fun feeling.  Each Squeeball takes on its own look and personality, and each has a different high pitched squeal and laugh.
