Not bad for a tenner June 13, 2008
Mr. M. Hopewell (Birmingham, UK)
It will not take long for this game to annoy you.... Some of the answers to the puzzles are meant to only be read using the supplied special graphics but some people can read the answer without them.
A few of the tasks are just impossible to get right and it tends to be more luck than judgement.
That said the other 70% of the game is ok. It is an excellent family game and you can easily play with lots of people. Played it recently with around 10 people at a family gathering and was still enjoyable if slightly flawed.
 Actually Quite A Good Game! April 12, 2008
Ms. A. C. Loveridge (Kent)
When I recieved this as a present I thought this game would be no good at all but I was proven wrong. This multiplayer game spilts you into teams and you have many little games to play. You have to get them correct in order to recieve points. The creative parts are my favourite where you are given a place or type of food to draw and you have to draw it using the wii remote for your team to guess, (they do not know the word as it is in code and you have to look through 3d glasses to see what it is). Overall I think it is a really good game and so what if you can only play with one wii remote? You can give the other team an evil look as you pass it to them. :-)
Also if amazon is selling it for under 10, grab it!
 Disappointed April 5, 2008

I bought this game because I had played the board game and thought it was fun but was quite disappointed.
It is a multi player game but you can only use one remote which is a pain. Even after sorting out the remote sensitivity you still couldn't replicate the charade actions on the screen. You could try and hammer that nail in until you are blue in the face and the game still wouldn't recognise the action.
Great Party and family fun!! April 1, 2008

This game will have you in fits of giggles, especially the round where you have to do actions to certain tasks i.e bowling, hammering and changing a light bulb.
My 4 year old daughter loves it, great for family fun and those party nights when you have your friends round.
Only downside is the use of only 1 remote, but great value for money!

Let me start off my saying that I've never played the board game of this, but the Wii game was selling reasonably and I thought I would add it to our collection.
A downer, for starters is that the game only uses one remote, since it is made for team play, it gets a bit annoying have to keep passing one remote between all players.
That aside, the drawing is not as impossible as some reviews have made out, you just need to adjust the sensitivity of your Wii Remote. Also, it is kinda funny while you're trying to get the hang of it and look like you're drawing like a 5 year old - might I add that despite this, what was being drawn was eventually guessed on almost all counts.
The most frustrating game is the Drama/Charades one. You are suppost to turn around and have your team give you hints about the motion you should be doing, ie. Stoking a Fire or Unlocking a Door. We gave up on this completely however and even whilst looking at the screen and knowing exactly what you have to do, this was next to impossible. You could try stoking the virtual fire until you were blue in the face and only eventually after what seems like forever, it then decides to accept your action as correct - for no given reason whatsoever.
The general knowledge questions are quite challenging and they tend to ask a lot of questions regarding the names of actors. This will definitely frustrate any little ones in the group. Although I suppose that is why it is played in teams, as surely at least one team member on each side donated a fair portion of brain space to remembering actor's names. :P
Overall, I actually enjoy the drawing part of this game the most and would be happy even if it were just plain old Pictionary. Although, after looking at the screen for a while, you can actually make out the code word even without the decoder glasses.
This game is okay for a rainy day, but definitely not up there with the other Wii games currently on the market.
