Video Games : Cranium Kabookii |
- Took a while to gather a group, but lots of fun!To play this you have to have at least 4 people. Which is pretty easy to do, but just happened that I owned this game for a few months before we were at home with the Wii and the game and the group......
...anyway, once started wee all really enjoyed the game including all it's frustrations. Already have planned another game night!
Rating:
- Can't figure out how to play it.This game will make frustrating play for children. For many of the games, there is inadequate onscreen instruction as to how to actually affect the items on the screen. There are no instructions in the booklet that comes with it.
Very poor product development.
Rating:
- Fun family game.This game follows the board games exactly. Very fun for a family with younger kids (5-tween). Good game for the price. I'm glad I bought it.
Rating:
- Slow pacing, not that fun.Great idea, neat artwork, but the pace is too slow for parties, and the truth is it's just not that fun.

- Not as fun as the board games...Overall, this would be a good game for a party with a bunch of teens and older who have a Wii. The Wii gamplay does not much factor into the success (and failures) of this game. In fact, for the few cool uses of the Wiimote, there are equally frustratingly hard to learn motions that would make it hard to do this in a large party setting.
My real concern is that the questions are much too adult for most kids to play, but there was no indication of that on the box. For example, one word scramble game gave the hint: "Rotten Music" the answer was "The Sex Pistols" neither my wife, nor extremely musically savvy 9-year old know that Johnny Rotten was a member of the Sex Pistols, and of course my six year old daughter started asking what a Sex Pistol was...
The geography questions are similar: in 60 seconds, find on a hard to manipulate map, Honduras, North Korea and Serbia. Really, fun for everyone? I can do that, but most adults can't, and my kids sure can't.
Looking for Wii gameboard fun? Try Mario Party 8 instead, which is a ton of fun, easy to learn, and has endless gameplay choices. Looking for non-Wii gameboard fun? All the Cranium physical board games are great, and really fun for the whole family. This is a good try, but would benefit from another generation of development.
