Party games should stick to a console that's fitting for a party.
While the DS has allowed for countless genres to appear in handheld form, there's still one genre of games that doesn't really fit the overarching style of portable games: party games. These types of titles are meant to be enjoyed with many people in a casual environment, and with the exception of long road trips, it’s not often that a grouping of players have no better option than a DS to play such a game. As you might imagine, with Squeeballs Party for the DS, the one element that saved its Wii brother is basically pointless in a portable environment. Outside of its party elements, the game is incredibly dull providing for a subpar experience.
Yet another mini-game collection for Wii.
When I started playing through Squeeballs Party, it reminded me over and over again of Itchy and Scratchy; the cartoon cat and mouse on the Simpsons who loved to try and rip one another to shreds. Within this game, all of the squeeballs are constantly either trying to do harm to one another, or falling into hysterics at another's misfortune. The characters themselves are incredibly full of personality, and most certainly add something unique to this game. Unfortunately the gameplay itself is full of rehashes of familiar party games which only remain fun for so long.
I promise, we didn't abandon ship.
