Hasbro Family Game Night 3
© 2010 Electronic Arts
This third and best designed of the Hasbro Family Game Night series contains five classic board games from Hasbro. There are both classic and remixed versions of The Game of Life, Clue, Twister, Mouse Trap, and Yahtzee Hands Down. You can play in either local multiplayer capability (for up to four players) or -- for the PS3 or Xbox versions -- online. In addition, in the Wii and Xbox 360 versions you can play as your own customized Mii or avatar. All four of the games resemble the original, with the exception of Twister which consists of a Guitar Hero-style pattern matching activity. The more you play, the more extra game items you unlock. Our testers liked how fast the computer moved between turns ("you don't feel bogged down") and found the controls easy to play. Younger children might need some help. There is no worrisome content.
