    Familiar games like dodgeball, paper airplanes, slot cars, and a new one called kick (it's like a vertical game of soccer shootout) are available from the beginning and all are solid and fun. My kids complained that they had to use the EA kid characters when they'd rather use their Mii's. but this isn't a Nintendo game, it's from EA, so that limit is understandable. If you're looking for solid minigames for kids and families, look no further than EA's solid new... Read more

    As you can gather from those descriptions, EA Playground isn't a very deep game at all. It is 100 percent kid-friendly, and it better hope that kids like it because it sure won't be making many friends outside that demographic. As a minigame collection for young'uns, it's solid. The colorful visuals and easy-to-grasp games will certainly appeal to elementary school Nintendo DS players, which is good because an elementary school is probably the only place where the two or...

    EA need to respond to the likes of Ubisoft and their move into the casual gaming market. As each of these gaming behemoths realises the world of gaming has turned, largely on the coin of the Nintendo Wii, they make efforts to claim their slice of the pie. This may sound a little clinical, but in hand we have a game of which we have reasonably positive expectations: EA Playground. The Wii version of the game turned out to be a pretty good collection of kiddie sports... Read more

    Exactly what you’d expect after the Wii version. The games here range form rubbish (like hopscotch which is essentially a simple rhythm game done badly) through not bad (such as trampolining) to excellent fun – which includes most of the challenges and sees you playing games as diverse as mini racing, basketball, dodgeball and gobbing spitballs at other kids in the playground. Especially good is that the games are graded so you have to play the same kid several... Read more

    Developed by EA Canada, this NDS title is aimed at a younger generation of players and coexists with its Wii counterpart. Molded around the theme of a child’s playground, EA Playground transports the player to a fictional school and it’s surrounding area for recess. Additionally, the player can travel to a couple nearby parks for more fun and games. The game is surprisingly light on presentation considering the source. EA games are typically filled with stylish,... Read more

    This game is GREAT for both young and old. I love everything about it. For me, as an adult, collecting the marbles and buying stickers is lame. But this is a good lesson for the younger players in achievements. And my kids like collecting the stickers. The single player part is great fun and well designed for when you don't have a group to play. But if you have a group then the game just gets better. The movement in dodge ball is awkward but becomes learned quickly. I... Read more
