A playground in your TV

By iamasadlittleboy (ciao.co.uk) Read the full review

Type. Despite the fact that EA are known, perhaps unfairly, for making sub standard games they are known as being one of, if not the biggest video game manufacturers in the world at the moment, so you know they have something good going for them (even...

Fun, Good multiplayer, Good selection of games

Not too addictive or long lasting

As a 'grown up gamer' this was a bit of fun. The different games are all playable and provide fun challenges. The controls are fun and easy to pick up and after some practice you can master the little quirks needed. I like the idea of the free movement...

EA Playground

By JugglingT (ciao.co.uk) Read the full review

Since its release, the Wii has received a lot of mini-game compilations. Some good, others terrible, but of all the mini-game collections out there, is this one to pick up or leave on the shelf?

Good for a younger age group, paper plane and racing mini - games lots of fun

just another mini - game collection, only 6 mini - games, mini - games can become boring quickly

Playground - Nintendo Wii review - Pocket-lint

By Stuart Miles (pocket-lint.com)

Award: Hot Product!

Want to go back to school?

Plenty of multiplayer longevity

This is great fun, but you will tire if it's just you. One for multiple controllers and plenty of friends, soba or after a few drinks

EA Playground Wii Review

By Simon Wigham (consoleob.com)

EA Playground is perfect for those who only drag the Wii out for Christmas and other social occasions, which is to say the casual gamer. On the other hand those who obtained all 120 stars on Mario Galaxy with their eyes closed, yeah those of the...

EA Playground features little in the way of depth, but saying that, the game is obviously aimed at a younger and perhaps more casual audience. The more avid gamer may find that’s it's not substantial enough for their more demanding needs, and more...

So there you have it, EA Playground is pleasantly enjoyable, if not ocean deep.

EA Playground

By Adam Riley (cubed3.com)

EA has been praised quite a lot lately due to its strenuous efforts to bring varied content to Nintendo's Wii, rather than merely fudging its cross-platform games onto the system without any particular effort. Now the company is back with its take on...

Whilst EA has tried its best to grab the same audience that lapped up WarioWare, Playground fails to match Nintendo's genius and the sheer addictiveness found in that title's mini-games. However, this effort is definitely above par, so if you are...

But how does EA Playground shape up? With Wii already boasting a vast array of similar titles, including Nintendo's own WarioWare and Take-Two's Carnival, can it really prove to be worthy of your money?

EA Playground Review for Wii

By Tom Orry (videogamer.com)

EA Playground for Wii Review - This won't replace Wii Sports as the mini-game collection of choice, but it's another option should Wii Tennis and Bowling start to feel a little over played.

EA Playground (Wii) review

Award: Family Choice

EA goes back to school for this party game

EA Playground (Wii)

By (cnet.com)

At first glance, EA Playground likely won't bear much similarity to any playground you've encountered. Vibrant green grass covers the ground, children with massive heads frolic on pristine play structures, and there's nary a scraped knee in sight....

The games available herein cover a wide range, from Dodgeball and Tetherball to Slot Car and Paper Airplane Racing. Some are generic, while some actually manage to capture a kind of fun that is indeed reminiscent of the game's namesake. These few...

Playground

By David Power (cnet.com.au)

With seven different mini-games, Playground is great fun as a family party game or in the challenging single-player mode if you want to sharpen up your skills.

Challenging single-player mode ; Easy to pick-up for any age ; Good use of the Wii remote in the mini-games

Better if more mini-games were included

While Playground is a game aimed at kids, it can also easily be enjoyed as a family. Good use has been made of the Wii remotes capabilities across all of the seven games. There is an excellent focus on the single-player campaign which can prove to be a...

The progressing difficulty and extra dares will surely keep it challenging all the way through. Playground is a great party and family game coming out at the right time of the year.

Is EA Playground as fun as recess, or more painful than an algrebra test?

Pretty good

For the price this is a good collection of "party" games that don't require visitors to overcome a steep learning curve. Not as intuitive as Wii Sport
