Chuck E. Cheese's Party Games

Chuck E. Cheese's Party Games is a party video game developed and published by UFO Interactive Games (under the UFO Play brand). Released for the mh:awesomegames:Nintendo DS, mh:awesomegames:Wii and iOS around 2010. It features a variety of games related to Chuck E. Cheese.

Plot
The Wii version does have a plot somehow. The story depicts a kid who happens to be the avatar of the game. The kid wished they had something to do in the summer. The kid ends up watching a Chuck E. Cheese commercial thus asking their dad about going to Chuck E. Cheese. The kid didn't have enough money to go to Chuck E. Cheese so they had to get an allowance just by getting a summer job. Ironically enough, it turns out that the kid decided to work for a Chuck E. Cheese place.

Why It Isn't the Place to Be a Kid

 * 1) To start things off, the game's sole purpose is to promote Chuck E. Cheese’s, which makes it more of an advertisement than a game.
 * 2) Plot hole: The story for the Wii version is ridiculous. You see, the kid had to work for Chuck E. Cheese in order to get paid for Tokens. But however, it's incredibly stupid because the player character is depicted as a child. How can a child even work at Chuck E. Cheese's? That is illegal to get children to work at those jobs.
 * 3) Plot hole: The kid sees Chuck E. Cheese for the first time as if they were not too familiar with Chuck E. Cheese. Ironically enough, the kid watches the Chuck E. Cheese commercial in a Chuck. E Cheese-themed TV. How did the kid not knew about Chuck E. Cheese when they have a Chuck E. Cheese-themed TV?
 * 4) The games themselves are boring to play. It gets worse when you play them again thanks to how the games feel so repetitive. Even better party games like Mario Party were better than this.
 * 5) *There are some that are way too simple such as connecting the dots or spotting the differences.
 * 6) The controls are okay, but there are instances where you use motion controls. The motion controls are not that great with the worst offender being the cattle minigame where you have to use a lasso to let Jasper get the cattle.
 * 7) For some reason, when you finish doing the pizza minigame, you only get paid with tokens instead of real money. That is unrealistic because jobs like Chuck E. Cheese give you money but the game instead gives you tokens. Go figure! It's like if the staff refused to pay your character with real money and instead give you tokens.
 * 8) When making the pizza, it can be hard to tell what kind of toppings the order consists of. The real reason behind it would be the display the toppings have would look too similar to each other (that depends on the topping) that it will let you get the wrong answer. This only applies to the Wii version.
 * 9) Almost all of the games are locked and in order to unlock them, you have to spin the lucky wheel to get the game. On one condition, you need to land on a certain part of the wheel to get the game. It's getting harder when you only have a few games to unlock due to bad luck. It almost feels like gambling.
 * 10) There are instances where if you don't play a game at all, you would get tickets still for whatever reason.
 * 11) The treasure chest prize costs 30,000 tickets and it's by far the most expensive prize in the game. Getting that many tickets feels more like a grinding job if you want to get that chest. To make matters worse, the only way you can complete the game is by getting that chest. How exhausting!
 * 12) *To add more fire to the fuel, there is an optional achievement where you have to complete the chest prize ten times for each character.
 * 13) The shooting game where it takes place in space feels like a generic shooter game taking place in space. Something that you would expect with Galaga or Space Invaders, but without the charm.
 * 14) The character animations are laughably weird, like Helen's dance moves or when Chuck E. appears after you get the counting correct in the Counting game or the Connect the Dots game.
 * 15) Lack of content as it's basically nothing but arcade games and pizza making. That's all there is.
 * 16) The graphics on the DS version aren't that good, even for DS standards.
 * 17) *The character animations are mediocre to look at during the DS version, as well.
 * 18) *The soundtrack on the DS version is boring to listen to.
 * 19) *Overall, it feels more like a bigger downgrade to the Wii version. It becomes very boring fast.
 * 20) Multiplayer isn't present in the game. If it's a party game, why is multiplayer omitted there? Even towards the ones that can work as multiplayer such as Air Hockey. Would it be called a party game when multiplayer is neglected?
 * 21) Little to no voice acting at all.
 * 22) The game can be beaten in less than an hour.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) Some prizes can be useful enough to give you more tickets when you play the game.
 * 2) Okay soundtrack on the Wii version. Some of the songs in the game do feel relaxing.
 * 3) You still get some more challenging games like the rhythm game with Helen or the basketball game.
 * 4) Each player character on the Wii version usually gets their own unique prize like a camp tent or a basketball.
 * 5) Okay 2D graphics on the Wii version.
 * 6) You can get free tokens and tickets by spinning the lucky wheel.
