Neighborhood Games
Now you can go back in time to the neighborhood of your past, where the fun never ended, in Neighborhood Games. This exciting new title from THQ Games takes the Wii’s successful sports genre a step further, letting you go back to a time when you played with your friends until dark and where the fun was matched only by the thrill of competition. .caption { font-family: Verdana, Helvetica neue, Arial, serif; font-size: 10px; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; } ul.indent { list (more…)

We’ve played a lot of other game collections with our family on the Wii and this one is our favorite so far. A very enjoyable experience all around, while not every game was my favorite there were quite a few that everyone enjoyed playing together. The spin on classic games like Dart-Ball (baseball meets lawndarts), Super Battle Shoes (battle ship meets horseshoes) as well as familiar fun games like Ladder Golf, RC planes, RC trucks, Football, and Water Wars (squirt guns) is a nice touch. The controls are familiar if you’ve played Wii Sports games. We really liked the fact that all of the games were unlocked in multiplayer so we didn’t have to play through single player to get our money’s worth.
The single player is a simple progression through 15 of the 24 games at 3 difficulty levels. You unlock clothing items for your character as you progress through the game. The presentation is simple but endearing and you can quickly get through the computer controlled players turn if you want in most games. You can also taunt the computer controlled player to try and get them to miss. The taunts, particularly the bottom shake made our younger child laugh.
Overall the we had a great time playing these games together. If you play different games in a an evening with your friends it keeps track of how many wins and loses each player overall which is a nice touch.

Fun for the whole family!
Some games are not so great, but overall this game is definately worth the money. Lots of fun and something for everyone.
We were very disappointed with this game. There are many options of games to choose from, but unfortunately almost all of them had the same basic underhand motion. Bocci, horseshoes, shuffleboard, basketball, etc… were all just the same repetitive movement. Also, it was difficult to refine your movements because there wasn’t a meter bar or some way to measure how far off you are. We lost interest in this game very quickly and just went back to playing wii sports.

Disappointed
I bought because it had some great games but soon discovered it wasn’t so much fun. The games are hard to play. My children became so frustrated and game up.
This was one of the games we bought to play as a family with our new Wii. It’s pretty good. The interface and action isn’t as slick as Wii Sports or Wii Play, but it’s a different set of games and it’s fun to play as a group. The basketball shooting games can be tough, but I actually enjoy that it’s not “automatic” and takes some practice. The bocce is very good, an dis probably my favorite. I’d say rent it first just to make sure it’s your cup of tea.

Better Games out there
Not really 30 games- only about 12 games. Only different variations of the same game. All games utilize the same hand motions. None of the games are realistic.

An okay game.
This game is an okay game. It’s a good game to rent or if you can buy it for 20 dollars or less.
The game has a lot of games.

An OK family game
We bought this game when a merchant told us this was the sequal to playgorund games…it is not.
This game is fun, BUT nearly every game requires the same underhand…

Neighborhood Games – Wii
I find some of the Neighborhood Games difficult to play and imprecise in how the remote reacts. They provide some entertainment, but a game like Carnivale Games is much tighter…

It was disappointing to us….
… but that might be because we don’t have any “younger” children. I am always looking for fun games for a group of people to play.
