MY THOUGHTS:

I honestly really like this game!  I admit I thought it might be a little cheesy and the controls wouldn’t be the greatest, but it is so much fun!  The game controls are very easy and work perfectly, no delay or lag.  You start the game with three tokens and basically go through a tutorial (but it doesn’t seem like a tutorial.)  You play three games:  Basketball, Smash a Munch and Alley Roller.  All three are classic games and addiciting!  Then you move on to making pizzas to earn tokens to play more games since each game takes one token.  Now you can move to the Lucky Wheel which you spin to unlock more games.  As you play games, you earn tickets which you can redeem for prizes that you can accumulate to display on shelves.  You can even play with the prizes you redeem!

There are so many games and the games get a little harder as you play them.   It is a perfect game for younger kids though as it is quite easy in some spots.  I like though how the game really makes me feel like I am at Chuck E. Cheese, minus the crowds!  Chuck E Cheese’s Party Games is perfect too to keep kids happy in between Chuck E. Cheese visits, but it does make you want to go there!  I have played games similar to this before and the game play was slow and not realistic, these mini-games really feel like I am whacking a munch, playing skeeball, and shooting hoops.  I highly recommend this game for something different and challenging.  You do have to make pizzas to earn tokens and the message in the beginning of the game is a dad telling his daughter she needs to work to earn money to visit Chuck E. Cheese which I think is a great message!  The only flaw is I do wish it was more than a one-player game, but you can take turns and save three players at once.
