Fun:
A poor game that only just scrapes 2 stars if played with friends. I wouldn't bother if playing alone.
The games :
Darts - Controls takes some getting use to, but with some perseverance can be mastered. I would suggest trying high score firstly just to get used to controls before going onto other variations (301, 501, cricket)
Air Hockey - Very fiddly controls make it almost impossible to beat the CPU player, again best played against a friend, even then the amount of silly own goals conceded can become frustrating..
Hoops - Basketball shoot with fiddly control system (done better on Party Carnival), basically the more hoops you shoot, the more tickets you win.
Skii Ball - Roll the ball to try and hit the highest scores (Again control system and feel of game is better on Party Carnival).
Ping Cup - Bit of a weird one. The idea is to through a ping pong ball into one of 10 of your opponants cups?! At first was virtually impossible (after trying to follow on screen instructions), eventually with trial and error I can now hit a few cups, but have yet to complete a game (I normally quit out after about 1/2 hour).
Shuffleboard - A bit like curling on a table. Probably the best game here (again played with a friend as CPU player will beat you). The controls are fairly easy to master after a few minutes and can be quite fun.
Trivia - Oh dear... All questions have strong American slant (unless you are really into US sports and TV then avoid), plus scoring system not well documented in instructions.. Poor. Obviously the developers couldn't be bothered to change the questions for the UK release!
Borrow it if you must and try challenging a friend to Shuffleboard or Darts. Other than that avoid..

Fun:
Game Party is below par, far below par.
The game is simplistic and the only plus is that a few of these mini games are quite fun playing with 2 - 4 players.
On the downside the games are very limited and there are other games out there with more games that are fun to play together. Besides the controls arent always as smooth as you would like them to. The games that come with the Wii are far superior.
Not sure what the value is, but I would not buy it even if it went at a bargain.

Fun:
I have to agree with the other comment on this game. I've played a review copy of this game and it is awful. There are far better games for the Wii and if you want a party game get WarioWare Smooth Moves instead, and if you've pre-ordered cancel it. It's criminal games like this sell over great games like Zak and Wiki and Mario Galaxy.

Some fun games
Not a "must buy" game but have had some good entertainment with it and it assisted with learning how the wii controls work.
