It's bad enough they have to make another mini game compilation for the Wii, they also have to dig up a cartoon series that went off the air (in USA) a few years ago. I say enough with the mini game compilations.
Totally Spies: Totally Party has two modes. The first is an Adventure mode, a third rate Mario Party clone where players face off against the AI.
When anyone lands on a star space for the first time, they play a mini game. Complete the mini game, and a trap is placed on the square. When the player's (or AI's) opponent lands on that space, that opponent takes damage.
There's also a gadget space where players get gadgets to add to their roll, go to a mini game space, inflict damage on the AI and so on.
Winner is the one who doesn't lose all their life first.
The mini games are (predictably) mixed; some are fun like shooting aliens and landing on the roof of a high rise building.
And some are awful like talking to a cute guy by randomly picking buttons to fill a heart meter or running away from a vacuum.
But the worst part in Adventure mode is waiting for the AI to land on the trap I've set so I can get the game over with.
And when the game's over, I get hit with cut scenes where the words said by the leader of WHOOP come nowhere near to matching his mouth movements. They took scenes from the cartoon and sloppily slapped on the voice acting.
The second mode of this compilation is a simple play any game you unlock via multiplayer. You can't get any more basic or bland than that.
Oh, and you can unlock outfits for the ladies, but these graphics are so bad that it looks like an early GameCube game, so this feature doesn't add much.
Totally Spies: Totally Party is yet another forgettable mini game compilation. SKIP IT.
