![]() It's party time!!
I guess when the Playstation Move was released we all expected that we would see the release of a family friendly compilation of mini games. That release happened with launch title "Start The Party!".
The question however would be whether the compilation would offer enough content and fun to be considered a must have title?
Small in content, big in fun?
The main issue with Start The Party would be just how much has been packed into the game and if I am being totally honest the answer is not an awful lot. In fact all the package contains is a selection of a mere nine (yes nine!!!) mini games.
Personally for a game advertised as being one of the main compilation launch titles for the system I find this quite appalling and feel that for any game to be released as a full retail priced then it should contain far more than what it does.
To counteract this argument the majority of the games contained within the game certainly provide an initial amount of fun however this soon can wear thin and I can almost guarantee that unless you have children present then Start The Party will almost certainly be left on your shelf to gather dust once the initial novelty has worn off.
Gameplay:
Ok, so far I have failed to be particularly impressed with what is on offer in the game however the gameplay of the mini games can provide a fair amount of enjoyment particularly when playing against and with other players (as already stated however this will soon wear off).
The games are fairly clever in how they have been put together and are perfect for younger children as they see themselves on screen and in this respect it works well as the interaction on the games is pretty good.
The games themselves do offer a nice amount of variety and sees the player competing in tasks such as painting, hair cutting, catching ghosts, and more. Whilst the variety is good there is not that much that really stands out as being captivating in terms of gameplay and this leads to things being rather dull.
What I found most clever about the gameplay however was that depending on the game the camera changes the Move controller seen in your hand to become a variety of objects with which to use. These range from torches, fly swatters, paint brushes, hand fans, remote controls, hair clippers and more and when using these it does add much more enjoyment to proceedings.
Each mini game is timed depending on the game mode which can be either survival where the object is to complete as many games as possible without using a set amount of lives and free play which enables the player to select a game of their choosing and play it without being under pressure. Again the lack of content in terms of game modes is rather surprising and overall gives the feel that this is more of a demo of the potential of the Move rather than a game which is deserving of it’s price tag.
