Word Party
SCORE: 85
I am very thankful Lightwood Games provided Family Friendly Gaming a
download code for Word Party on the Wii U. This home console video game
contains twenty-eight mini games. Speed is always important when playing
Word Party. Normally I like to take my time trying to find the right
word. Word Party has a timer and families only have so much time before
the mini game is over with.
Half of the mini games are unlocked when families start playing Word
Party. Then as you play Word Party, then you will unlock the other half.
I noticed Word Party puts a premium on multiple family members. You can
practice the mini games in Word Party with multiple family members, and
even play them with just one player. Word Party can be a really good
party game that is also a learning game.
I love how Word Party teaches us reading, words, spelling, and more. My
favorite mini game in Word Party was swapping letters around to spell
new and different words. In fact it was the favorite of quite a few of
us here at Family Friendly Gaming. Instructions are shown when a mini
game is selected, and right before the player(s) start playing the mini
game in Word Party.
The music is nice in Word Party. The graphics are bright and colorful.
There are a variety of different kinds of mini games in Word Party on
the Wii U. Another good one in Word Party is the words on the graffiti
wall. Families are given a theme and must pick only the words that match
that theme. It is possible to get a negative score in the mini games in
this Wii U game.
I had trouble with a couple of the mini games in Word Party. They were
the ones where players must enter the ending of a word. I had trouble
finding the first letter in the words to know what I was spelling. The
robot mini game is the most complex one in Word Party. Families must
take the top of the robot and connect it to the middle. They also have
to connect the bottom of the robot to the middle. When it is all
complete the letters on the complete robot must spell a word.
It was a real pleasure for me to play a video game that teaches good
lessons. They have become few and far between in recent years. I would
love to see Lightwood Games grow into the physical copy realm of the
video game industry. Word Party is a great game that deserves to be on
store shelves selling right beside Shovel Knight, and Minecraft. What do
you think?
