Party Arcade 

 

I happily check out a plethora of different products. A great many times I have no idea exactly what I am getting myself into before I start using certain products. Party Arcade certainly falls under that umbrella. I had certain thoughts about what would be in Party Arcade before I started playing it. I was way off base in terms of my expectation. First and foremost this game would not work until I connected it online. How annoying is that?

There are thirteen mini games within Party Arcade. The mini games within Party Arcade are Air Hockey, Slot Machine, Stop Light, Skill Ball, Puck Bowling, Ping Pong, Hoop Shot, Disk-O, Darts, Cup Pong, Corn Hole, Bocce Ball, and Billiards. Two of the mini games within Party Arcade are multiple player only. The other eleven mini games will allow for a single player experience.

The loading times within Party Arcade are extremely long. I am shocked at how long the games took to load. what is insane is they are not cutting edge graphics either. Party Arcade looks okay. The music in Party Arcade is on the annoying side. The special effect sounds in Party Arcade are decent. The controls take a lot to get used to. The controls are also on the random side. What I mean is I would do something one way with one outcome. Doing the same thing again produced a different outcome.

I am thankful I was able to purchase a physical copy version of Party Arcade. There is a digital download version of Party Arcade as well. There are some mini games that can be played local multiplayer or online multiplayer. We earn tickets that can be used for items in some of the mini games. Like a different pool stick in Billiards for example. The long loading times really hurt this game in terms of flow.

All in all I did not enjoy my time with Party Arcade. I spent more time on loading screens than actually playing the mini games. The tickets did not produce objects that felt worthwhile to me. We have gambling and a beer game in Party Arcade. The mini game choice is not very good in my personal opinion. I do not think families would like to explain certain things in Party Arcade to their kids.
