All the fun of conventional Jenga with no mess to clean up. What could be better? The game is not going to blow you away however it will provide you with hours of entertainment for you and your friends. If you like regular Jenga just a little, you will not be unhappy with this purchase.
Is it just me or are the cheaper Wii games the ones that seem to be the better ones???

When it comes to classic games from the Milton Bradley era back in the 90's, very few of them really had the stamina of being really fun & enjoyable board games. One of the very few surprises for gamers was Jenga. The building block game that you stack pieces of blocks, to build higher levels of stories, without knocking the tower over was one of those few that really was fun & enjoyable for any group of all ages. Sadly though, the game hasn't really brougth as much joy to kids as we see of video game systems like the Nintendo Wii. Now, Jenga has made an attempt to go virtual, but does it really bring the gameplay to a new era of gamers? Not exactly.
Jenga for the Nintendo Wii brings the classic block-building game to Nintendo's hot video game system. Sadly, the game doesn't really bring out the excitement like it used to. The graphics fare well, while the control is alright but not anything to rave about. You simply use the Wii remote to choose your block, and place on top of the tower and try to keep it stable enough to prevent it from falling down. The fun here though, doesn't show very well for single or multiplauer action. There are a few trinkets here that also cause the game to fall down too like adding extras like power-ups that can help you win the game. The music is cutesy, but doesn't do enough to make it happen at all.
All in all, Jenga was a great game years ago, but I absolutely don't think it would really be a great must have game for your Nintendo Wii. Instead, I really suggest you pass this virtual edition up, and buy the classic game for you to play with your whole family. Jenga isn't completely for virtual blockheads at all.
