Build a Bear A Friend Fur All Seasons
SCORE: 95
One of the greatest games for families on the Nintendo DS in my book was Build a Bear. I asked for a sequel, and thought one on the Wii would make perfect sense. Well that request has been fulfilled with Build a Bear A Friend Fur All Seasons, and it is on the Wii. This is another video game from The Game Factory that improves the image of gamers, and the industry as a whole. Build a Bear A Friend Fur All Seasons is good clean fun that anyone in the family can enjoy for months, and it includes multiplayer modes as well. Getting to collect, and swap around different accessories is entertaining enough, but add in mini games, and party games - well this is another winner. There are plenty of fun games on the Wii, and this one is in the upper echelon of that category.
I absolutely love the clean, fresh, and colorful graphics in Build a Bear A Friend Fur All Seasons. More than just bears are selectable as characters in this Wii game. The turtle is the favorite of children in our family. The only violent images I found in this game is shooting creatures with a water pistol. To me it was more like a game at the county fair than any actual real violence. I like to mention everything I run across so families can make informed decisions based on fair and balanced opinions.
One of the most pleasant surprises of playing Build a Bear A Friend Fur All Seasons is the amazing music. I can not say enough nice things about the music in this game, because it has resonated with everyone here who has heard it. The game is also very encouraging to players whether they win or lose. I love to see home console games build people up, instead of tear them down. I also did not find any offensive sounds while playing this Wii game.
Build a Bear A Friend Fur All Seasons has enough islands, mini games, and unlockable content to keep friends and family members busy for months to come. The four season themed islands each contain different mini games, and wearable accessories. On top of all that there are party games where friends and family can compete against one another. If anyone in your family is into good clean fun then your money would be well spent on Build a Bear A Friend Fur All Seasons.
This game is part party game, part Build a Bear, and part mini game compilation. The three combined make one amazing game. I am impressed at how much content developers can put into games like this one. I found the controls to be flawless in Build a Bear A Friend Fur All Seasons as well. Many of the games control differently so players are kept on their toes.
Build a Bear A Friend Fur All Seasons is one of the games families
should have on their Christmas lists, especially when intelligent
purchases need to be made due to the economic situation. I would be
happy to see more games from this franchise in the near future as well.
Friendship, helping others, and exploring are some of the lessons taught
in this game.
