Smarty Pants

Smarty Pants on the Wii is actually fun for all ages. My 60-year-old dad (who hates video games, but does like trivia) actually played this with us. He got the hang of ringing in and aiming/ using the Wii remote pretty quickly. And then he proceeded to beat us!!!

So, Smarty Pants is actually fun for everyone - even fun for people who normally don't get into video games. But that's part of the allure of the Wii in general too.

This is a great game to have on hand if you're going to be having company, or a party. Just make sure you have enough remotes to go around. Also, I would not recommend it if you don't have at least four people to play it. With any less than four, it's just not that much fun.

Not a Smarty Pants..........

If you like game shows this is pretty good. The questions are agecentric, which is nice, I guess; I am going to enter a younger age, I'm tired of all the disco questions. But, we (hubby & me) had a lot of fun, it would probably be more fun with more players.

Ready for Next Version

Wii "Smarty Pants":

Great game for "mental" exercise.. If you need a game to keep you mentally "humble", this will not bore you. Frustrate, but not bore.

I am hoping for another version soon with different catagories, like history, current events, politics, TV and geography. I personally know little about "art" and "fashion" and care little about learning them. The current "Smarty Pants" asks way too many sports questions that are dated back as far as into the 20's and 30's. (I am NOT that old!) We do better playing our daughter's "age" of 34.

This "Smarty Pants" game is mostly super entertainment. But Wii, please provide another "Smarty Shorts" ASAP! Thanks for this one, though!!

Overall a fun game with decent trivia questions. Plays like a game show. Neat animations. Lets you play with four Wii controllers simultaneously, allows you to use your own Mii for each contestant. Good for parties.

If you don't know detailed information in many categories, you'll find it's boring.

If you don't know detailed information in many categories, you'll find it's boring because your friends will get all the scores. For example, one of the question that the game asks might be something like this "Which team won the Grey cup in 1988?". I think it's not neccessary to remember it because I can easily find it on the Internet.

I'm glad I rented it.

The real SMARTY PANTS bought a different game!

This game is horrible! We thought it would be a fun game to play with our 6 year old since it gives age specific questions. After a couple of rounds our little girl said "you guys can play. I will watch." She is a very smart child and some of the questions were insanely difficult, not to mention stupid. It is not fun trivia at all. Needless to say we took it to the nearest gamestore the next day hoping to get some of our money back and only got $15 for this $50 title. So basically we rented this horrible excuse for a game for $35 for one night.
Please do not dissappoint your children with this game it is not good for their self esteem, or yours for that matter.

OK

I didn't know I needed an additinal controller, that was my first disappointment. The actions you have to do to get more time to answer questions doesn't make sense when you are trying to point the controller to the t.v. It was fun, but a board game could have been better.

Very Good Trivia Game

If you have a few people over and would like them to get involved, this game is a perfect ice breaker. The questions are a good mix of new and old information and rarely repeat themselves.

Simple controlls make this came suitable for all ages.

Fun, but not a lot of options

Love the game, but wish it had more games within the question/answer game. It's pretty boring without options to choose from and it goes to quickly on the "quick game mode."

Fun for the whole family

Enjoy playing smarty pants with my husband and 6 year old daughter. The game knows my daughter's age so she can read and answer most of the questions. Once you are done playing together as a "family", then you can play "friends" and compete to see who is going to be the Smarty Pants. My husband and I enjoy trying to beat one another. Good game to have some time with your family having fun.
