| Muppets Party Cruise VideoGames
| REVIEW | Perfect for kids under 9
I hate to see my kids watching each other play single and two person games. Muppets cruise solves the problem. This is far and away the best 4 player game I've seen. My kids from age 5 to age 8 can play at the same time and not get bored. I'm not much of a game player, but even a parent can get into the action without boredom.

| REVIEW | Best Party Game Yet
Being a huge fan of both the Muppets and the "party game" genre, I had to give this game a try. Even though it costs far less than competing games, this one is way more fun, pound-for-pound.
Compared to other party games, this one gives each player a greater amount of control over their board moves and strategies. It's not just a simple laps-around-the-board or race-to-the-finish format in this game. Instead, it's a freeform structure that allows the players to determine how often they play minigames and how mean they want to be to each other. This feature is appealing for older players who are turned off by the dumbed-down, restrictive boards on games like Mario Party or Pac-Man Fever. Also, as you unlock larger boards, more features are also unlocked, allowing you new ways to harrass your opponents, such as hypnotizing their characters or draining their funds from the Automated Trouble Machine.
As far as the minigames go, this game offers 30 quality 4-player minigames which all operate on a universal point system. They range from puzzle games to flying, first person shooting, sports, arcade, and driving games- and all with a silly Muppet twist. Fish tossing, stinky cheese gathering, and tomato throwing are all included, and that's just what you do with food. A great feature of the universal point system is that you can pre-purchase points in each game to gain an unfair advantage if you choose to, or you can horde your credits and try to cash them in at the end. If you save, look out for rock-paper-scissors, where an opponent can challenge you for half your stash. The tide can turn quickly if you aren't careful!
I also should mention the music. Whoever wrote the tunes that play behind each mini game and the main floors did a superb job. I love listening to the songs in this game. I don't think I could say that about any other games. It really adds to the Muppet atmosphere hearing the kooky, brassy music behind the action.
Overall, I can't recommend this game enough. So far, I've played it with quite a few friends, three of which went to purchase it themselves. You can't go wrong with under $20 for a game of this quality. A+ |
