My son likes this game in single and multiplayer mode. October 31, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
My son [12] chose this game under a two for 20 deal. I commented 'not sure if it has good reviews on Amazon' [mostly it has, as it turned out]. My son enjoyed playing and particularly liked 'collecting stickers to open other parts of the game, plus they give you power-ups'. I asked which games are the best? : 'all of them' apparently. He awarded it 4*. Given the title and game-play, it's obviously aimed at kids from about 7 to 13, although those older might enjoy playing it for a while with their mates. My son likes it in both single player against the PC and as multiplayer - he even got mum to play against him [for the first time since Wii sports]. You can play with up to 4 players, and the simple fast and furious games are: Dodgeball, dart shootout, Wall ball, Slot car racing, tetherball, paper-racers, and kicks [plus each of the games have a few different 'levels']. So a hit at the moment, although like the classy PS2 Buzz games it might soon take a backseat to his usual fare of shoot-em-up and platform games on his PS2, Wii and PC. Image quality in EA Playground isn't great, but there's a lot of bouncy fun colours and fast action. So recommended for preteens. For more details see eaplayground.com.

Very disappointed with this game, especially after reading such good reviews.
Walking round the playground collecting marbles isn't my kind of thing. Would say it's more for children rather than adults.
 Great Fun January 7, 2008

Erm well my Daughter bought me this game for Christmas wasnt too sure if it would be any good as i tried the DS version and got bored. But the Wii version is great fun, graphics are good game play is brillant and provides excellent use of the Wii Controller in the single player mode you have to challange a kid at his or her sport like kicks or dogeball slot car racing to name a few once you beat them you get a goldern sticker after a few of these it unlocks different areas of the play ground, after you initially beat a kid at there sport they have 4 dare's for you everytime you win you get a bag of marbles which you can use to buy power ups which will help you on harder levels.
Multiplayer game mode is just as good there seems to be a game for everyone, its the kind of game you can put down, then come back to time and time again. all in all great single player and multiplayer fun for the whole family or just me when everyones out lol!
Have you lost your Marbles? December 20, 2007

After a few minutes on EA Playground first impressions was that this game looks a bit sickly sweet. The first contact of each game seemed easy with no competition so I thought it might quickly become boring. Not the case! Once you start playing the games you unlock other "Dares" within the games which mean you have to complete challenges within the sport to unlock other things.
All the games are easy to play and don't take that long to master. Personally I think Dodgeball is worth the 25 I paid for the game on its own and is even better with 4 of us playing on the same side.
EA Playground is never gonna be a game to keep you on the edge of your seat and probably wont keep you entertained for days on end (like Resident Evil 4) but for 25 its worth having it in your collection for when your tired of Wii Sports.
An under reated gem of a game November 26, 2007

I love EA Playground! lots of games to unlock, collecting marbles as you go to swap for gold stickers. most games hold four different challanges before you get that players marbles.
Flying paper planes is awesome as is slot machine racing, the area is big with lots of mini games etc, a must have, particuarly at that price!
Much better than game party in my mind
