Party panic adventure mode5/3/2023 Game done.Ĭontrols can be a bit odd and imprecise (Slippery Sprint is Micro Machines on an ice rink, and is less fun than it sounds). The RNG decided that the first line of boxes would hit three out of the four players, and there was only enough time for one player to squeeze through the gap. A game called Wacky Whale lines you up near the mouth of a whale and then asks you to run into the camera, dodging the Klax-like boxes that wend their way towards you. Other minigames play a bit loose with RNG. There’s one minigame that’s almost pure combat, and we groaned whenever we got it. I counted three seconds before my goober got back up again, and in minigames of 60 seconds or so, it can put you right out of competition. More heinously, get hit and you’ll lie there stunned for far, far longer than you should. It wouldn’t be an issue if the combat was satisfying, but it absolutely isn’t: mashing X and Y will occasionally generate an attack, and the game rolls a dice to see whether you or your opponent hits. Party Panic is determined to chuck combat into games that don’t really need them. There are a few reasons why the other minigames don’t land. I’d say there are 12 or so you’ll want to play again, which is the lower end of what you’d need for a playlist. Our rotation of good minigames includes Avalanche, where you jump down platforms to avoid a snowy death Plinko Panic, where you jump around in the bottom of a pachinko machine and Spike Scramble, which is similar to The Wall, where you’ll have to compete for the limited gaps within spiked barriers. Almost all of them are worth trying once, and some are killer. There are 33 games here, so there’s no skimping, particularly being something of a budget title in comparison to Mario Party. I don’t think there’s ever been a party game that’s managed to have anything more than a 70/30 hit-rate on the minigames it’s included, but I would say that Party Panic falls shorter than most. I appreciate that this section is less a ‘drunk with mates’ good time, and better suited to families – we loved it.įor many, the meat and potatoes of a party game are the minigames, the game boards, and the opportunities to lord it over your mates from the top of the podium. It’s a playbox, and you’ll be collaborating on what ramp or building will be needed to get them. Collectibles are on the buildings, and hoops linger in the sky, begging you to jump/fly/drive through. Then you move further out from these arenas and come across a town. You’ll wander from the starting castle into arenas made for emergent gaming – there’s one where the floor-is-lava, while another has platforms that drop away. This is an open sandbox of stuff, sticky-tacked together for large groups to explore. The Xbox Store will provide the relevant download – let us know in the comments what you think of it all.Luckily, fun is in supply in the Adventure Mode.
