Though human players use their Miis to represent them, the AI utilises what look like Mii knock offs - let's call them Mees - which contain oddly polygonal features, looking mighty rough when stood beside their official cousins. If I were being hyperbolic - and I am - I'd say the graphics engine renders cheap plastic accessories better than any other game out there right now - you can quote me on that! Where it does get a little rough is in the on-screen avatars of your opponents. 3 won't blow you away visually, it is bright and vibrant and the textures are surprisingly good. Many of the interludes can be skipped, characters move round the boards quickly and everything has a great sense of pace about it, keeping the attention of you (and no doubt your siblings, grandparents, family friends, et al) for extended periods of time. EA have nailed that fine line between canned animations spicing up a potentially dry digital board game experience and those same animations becoming intrusive of a smooth flow of play.

moving on.Ĭluedo, Mouse Trap and Yahtzee Hands Down have worked out just fine: players take their turns to roll, watch their pieces move along the board, make simple decisions and pass the Wii Remote onto the next player (or not, if you're fancy and have multiple controllers), with slick animations accompanying the proceedings that don't outstay their welcome. Potato Head' antics too if you're interested, but you're reading a review on a video games website, so you probably aren't. For your - most likely just prior to Christmas - money, digital adaptations of The Game of Life, Cluedo, Twister, Mouse Trap and Yahtzee Hands Down are included on the disc, all available for up to four players to take part in.

That's not to say this is a sloppy third outing for the evergreen casual title - far from it, as the team at EA have done another bang up job of what it has to work with, taking board games that are systematically complex, rooted in their physicality and more than a little stuffy and converting them for the home electronic entertainment unit to (largely) great effect.
