4 out of 5 stars Nice Game for Wii   January 6, 2009
M. Monetti (NJ USA)
Playground is a good game for the family, but I agree with other reviewers that it is great for the younger ones as the games are pretty easy to control and understand (that's good for me too as an amateur gamer!). We range from toddler, teen to adult and all enjoy it. Since there are levels in the single player mode it offers some challenge for all. There are favorites (darts and slot cars), but we like them all. I choose this game because of the Amazon and other ratings and am satisfied with it. Our six year old was able to play by herself (despite being unable to read the dialog between the "children" on the playground) and definitely enjoyed it. Collecting stickers and marbles help make the game for her and she was able to open gates (to new levels and games) faster than I could. The theme is great and the games are fun.


5 out of 5 stars My kids love this game   December 29, 2008

I have a 9yo girl, 7yo boy, and 6yo girl and all 3 love this game. It's fun and they can be a little competitive while playing it. They also can use teamwork and be on the same team on a few of the games. They would play it all day if I let them. I also like joining in and playing the game with them from time to time. It does make them move around and swing their arms so if they're going to play a video game I'd rather it be one like this!


4 out of 5 stars Great for the under 8 crowd   December 18, 2008

I bought this as a game my husband could play with our 5 year old and it is great for that! It gets a bit tedious for my husband but it allows the two to have fun together without frustrating my 5 year old. If you're over 10 I"d say give it a miss but for the younger crowd two thumbs up.

This game is great for kids 5-12. Our kids and their friends can play it for hours. Definitely fun for older people too.
