Parents need to know that DISNEY GUILTY PARTY is a family-oriented game that is both entertaining and challenging. The game is much like Clue in that players have to find clues and then figure out "whodunit" with each of the mysteries presented. The game can be played in the story mode or in party games with up to four players using one Wii remote or as many as four. There is one unlockable character, several unlockable mystery settings, and players will have to use logic, reasoning, and some physical movement of the controller to succeed. Each mini-game is scored.
Educational value:Deductive reasoning is a core element of Disney Guilty Party. Using logic and working quickly but efficiently are also encouraged to solve the mysteries in as few turns as possible.
Positive messages:Players are rewarded for the effort and praise accompanies completion of cases. The game also has cooperative game elements, which encourage family members to work together to solve the cases.
Positive role models:The characters are funny and while some of the suspects can be indifferent or even a bit rude, the central cast is quite entertaining and indicative of the general themes of Disney movies and games.
Ease of play:The instructions are good for each game, and there are three difficulty settings for mini-games as well as for the overall story mode. If players are struggling with a difficulty setting, it can be adjusted downward easily. If you keep the movements with the Wii remote small (no wide arm swings), then the controls are easy to understand and use. The difficulty settings is the sole factor in how hard it is to successfully complete mini-games.
Violence:Some behavior could be considered violent, such as when a detective is described as punching a suspect to make him talk, but it is rare. The game keeps a nice light-hearted touch throughout.
A very fun game that's easy enough for younger kids to play
I've played this game and it's plenty of fun. It's like a kiddy version of the game "Clue". Sometimes it can be a bit violent but other than that I don't have a lot of concerns. I definetly think that there should be a sequal to this game and they should maybe change the looks of some characters and add in more. Disney great job! keep up the good work!
