Wii Music Review By Elizabeth Cowen Average Score: 3.71 out of 5 Read more about our scoring system here We were very excited about this game when we first saw it was coming out. My husband and I pre-ordered it at the game store weeks before it came out and rushed to the mall to get it the day it was available. Things did not go as well as planned. We no longer have the game. It was the first Wii game that we sold. Fun Factor 2 out 5 This game was fun for a couple of days. I really enjoyed the handbell game, but it got boring quickly. I thought my children would enjoy making the music videos, but they lost interest after the first try. Family/Group Factor – 5 out of 5 For a family that enjoys the game it is a great family game. There are lots of musical instrument choices and the ability for the whole family to make videos together. Too...

Review of Carnival Games Fun Factor – 3 out of 5 Carnival scored a little low on the fun factor, simply because some of the games were quite frustrating and based only on luck.

Spiderman: Web of Shadows Review Average Score: 3.71 out of 5 (Read about our scoring system here) Don’t dismiss this game just yet – the reason for our lower score is only because of the low “family” aspect of the game. If you are looking for a great game for a boy who loves Spiderman, this is a perfect fit! Fun Factor 5 out 5 While mom and sister weren’t too excited about the game, the 8 year old boy of the house was very much into it and played it for hours. I haven’t seen this kid play a game as much as he did Spiderman – Web of Shadows in ages. He REALLY loved this game! Family/Group Factor – 2 out of 5 This is basically a one player game, and all the rest of the family could do was watch. However, my 6 year old daughter DID sit and watch her brother play with zero whinning about wanting...
