Oops Prank Party
SCORE: 74
Hudson Entertainment ran into some financial issues in America and closed their state side office. Which meant the full retail version of Oops Prank Party did not arrive. We did get a demo, and created a preview based on that. I decided to purchase Oops Prank Party and see how the final version holds up. There is some good in Oops Prank Party, and some bad. A few spots of Oops Prank Party is plain ugly. But this is not a spaghetti western review so we will leave that at the door.
The characters in Oops Prank Party look slightly better than Miis. Which is a disappointment in my book. Oops Prank Party includes a lot of different costumes for the characters to wear. This is one of the coolest aspects of this Wii game. The downside is these are generally assigned when mini games are lost. There are some cool ones that I enjoyed wearing, and hated losing.
The music in Oops Prank Party is fun. It has a little spice to it as well. That spice comes in mocking other players when they are given suits. I got irritated a few times when they were mocking me and I liked that suit. I was like this looks better than your pink money suit. Or that guy having to wear a shell bikini top. Yeah the cross dressing aspect in Oops Prank Party is disgusting.
There are one hundred mini games in Oops Prank Party. Although to be honest some of them do not even feel like mini games to me. More on that coming up soon. There are different modes and game boards to play in Oops Prank Party. This Wii game is a mix between Mario Party, and Wii Play. I feel like I got my fifteen dollars out of Oops Prank Party.
The biggest glaring problem with Oops Prank Party is the game play. Many of these mini games are not intuitive. You get one chance to figure out how to play them. Oops Prank Party allows few mistakes before you lose. This led to great frustration. You also can not save while playing the board game. What is that? Nintendo lets you save in the middle of a Mario Party game.
Four family
members can enjoy Oops Prank Party together. We played with various
people and had fun, but there were also quite a few complaints. Mainly
about the game play. Other complaints came in questioning certain
costumes that were included. Some are cute, some are funny, some are
gross, and others should have been left on the development floor. I
would like to see sequels to this franchise in the future. The frog suit
in Oops Prank Party is very cool.
