I looking to purchase some decent party game for me Wii and was wondering what everyone here would reccomend to get.
I've seen Carnival Games and Mario Party 8 anything else??

Is Wii Play any good/fun? I've heard that it comes with a Wii-mote too!?!?!?

it's passable, but there's only about 10 mini games, and they play exactly the same every time so it doesn't have a lot of longevity. Out of the party games i have that is the one i've played the least.

Thanks for that. I will probably still get it as I do want to have another wii-mote controller so the game will just be like having a freebe.

fair enough. Not sure if Wii Sports comes with one as well, but if it does, it's by far the better of the two launch games

Wii Sports bundled with the console!?!?!?

I think generally any game that has the word "party" in its title should be considered with caution as they generally tend to be quite bobbins and are just jumping on the bandwagon of the Wii's success. Wii Sports does come with the console but I would highly recommend getting the new Wii Sports Resort which has a lot more sports on it and supports the Motion Plus attachment (which also comes with the game). Boom Blox Bash Party is a great game and I think the use of the word party in the title was just to encourage more people to buy the game so don't worry about it just being a collection of rubbish mini-games. It's great fun in multiplayer! Also the Guitar Hero/Rock Band series of games while not technically party games are great multiplayer games although the initial outlay for instruments can be expensive.

I thought about the new Wii Sports Resort but was sure about getting the Motion Plus of all the controllers. That just starts racking up the price....

I agree Teroknor but it might be worth saving your pennies for a little bit as I'm sure there'll be a lot more games that take advantage of motion plus in the near future so in the long run it could prove to be a wise investment (unlike the ridiculous flying elephant that is Wii Speak!).
