3-4 of them. Only 2-3 would I play in multiplayer more than once...the bunny hunt, dancing, and the warthog racing. We played each of the others once or twice, laughed a little, but then everyone says, "What other games does it have?" i.e. I'm bored with that now.

Even the best games got old very quickly though. Bunny Hunt is too easy and we were ready to be done with it after playing it for an hour...and it is exactly the same every time, no variation or AI at all. Warthog racing is cute the first couple times, but leaves you thinking, "Is that it?" The dancing game is quite a bit of fun in multiplayer but is not worth the $50 price tag on its own. The ice sliding game similar to curling is an ok game too.

The games are clever in that they do think of interesting ways to use the Wiimote. However, I think too much thought went into thinking of clever ways to use it rather than thinking about how fun each game would actually be. There is almost no replay value whatsoever.

Bottom line: I have had the game 3 days now, have beaten it (which is unusual for me), and am bored with it. I am wishing I could trade it back in for Super Monkey Ball now, but I know the store will give me nothing for it.

I give it 3 stars overall because there are some good qualities and I did have some fun playing it the first day. I would recommend renting it before you buy it though because you'll be wishing you had the $50 back after playing it for a few days. You'll be thumbing through the menus wondering "Is that it?" and "Have I missed something?".
