![]() Next up, we have Jenga, the game that the Wii was made for. ![]() It’s a really nice twist that makes this game more addicting then the boring original. This forces you to really think about where you want to drop your piece. With four players it gets kind of hard because you have to watch three other opponents and now you have another side to pay attention to. To switch between the three different chips, hit the B button until you see the chip you want to use. You can use the D-pad to move your chip left or right (or you can move the Wii-mote left or right) and hit the A button to drop the chip. And the controls are, as expected, really simple. For all versions, there are three challenge levels (Novice, Smart, and Genius) and four round settings (First to 1, 2, 3, or 4 wins). There are three different types of Connect 4 in Family Game Night 2: Original which is played with four players, classic, which is like Original but only played with two players and with only the block chip, and Remix which introduces special powers on the board like detonate and teleport that allows you to get the upper hand on your opponent. Use these wisely, however, as you only have two. So, if the AI or one of your friends has three lined up in the front and back, it would be wise to use your block chip. The block chip is a chip that blocks both the front and the back space. But, in cases like this, the block chip can be used. ![]() So, if you have three chips lined up in the back of the board and that gets blocked but you have three lined up in the front and no one catches it, you place your last chip and win. Now, as previously stated, you can do this from the front or the back. You need to line up four of your chips in a row vertically, horizontally, or diagonally. If you don’t know the point of Connect 4, well the title says it all. And the block chip is a chip with the “no smoking” symbol in the center of it. The front chip looks like the normal chip but with the center taken out. Because of this, there are three kinds of Connect 4 chips: the normal chip is now called the back chip. Think of it as putting two normal Connect 4 boards and super gluing them together. But, also like the first game, Family Game Night adds new twists and remixes to make these five games a little more interesting.įirst up, Connect 4 returns but with a very interesting twist: instead of only having one side of the board, there are two sides. So, if you already own all of these games, you will want to skip this title. Like in the first version of this game, EA and Hasbro take five classic board games and reinvent them in video game format. But sometimes some games really shine (most come from Nintendo) and Family Game Night 2, while fun, isn’t one of those that the Wii really needs, especially when you can get all five of these great board games for under the $40 price tag of this game. As the Holiday season approaches, a lot of good and bad games start to flood the market and the Wii usually gets the greatest of the crap.
