Nickelodeon Party Blast
From Atari Inc.
Good as long as your don�t expect too much.
Nickelodeon Party Blast is a fun and simple game for younger children. Kids can pick their favorite cartoon characters (including Sponge Bob) to compete in a number of mini-games. The games are rather simple, such as throwing food on each other, squirting players with water, or rafting down a river. As you collect tokens, you unlock different levels and challenges.
Here are some things to keep in mind when buying this game:
1) It will be fun for those between 4-11. Older kids will get bored of the game fast. For the younger kids, there are some aspects of the game they might find difficult. For example, during gameplay your character can get covered with green ooze and slows down. The only way to shake it off is by rapidly moving the thumb stick back and forth. The younger kids often struggle getting this movement down.
2) The graphics are primitive by any standard. Do not expect much.
If you buy the game with these things in mind, you should not be disappointed. The game WILL keep the kids entertained.
Save your hard earned money....don't buy this one.
What a disappointment. This game just isn't what you expect. I purchased this game for my young daughter, thinking that she would enjoy playing a game that included all of the characters she enjoys watching on the Nick channel. Guess what? She played it for all of ten minutes, found that she couldn't control her character becuase she couldn't follow the action and hasn't touched it sense. That was worth forty dollars!
Simply put, the game has too much activity for younger children...heck who am I kidding, even I had a hard time trying to figure out who I was, where I was, and what I was doing.
If your looking for something enjoyable for your youngster, try the Rugrats Royal Ransom game. That's much better for little hands!
Bottom line: D-
Worst Game Ever
I was so disappointed with this game. My 8 year old does not have enough patience to sit through the 'loading screens' which pop up before each game. If you think this is going to be anything like Mario Party, you will hate yourself for putting forty bucks down for this. I am surprised that Nickelodeon put their name on it.
The characters are badly drawn, have no voices or sound clips or anything from the shows! I want my money back. Too bad, no refunds.
I suggest, if you are still wanting this game, to go rent it first, then decide not to buy it.
