This game is complete garbage. The graphics look like N64 quality and the controls themselves are both sloppy and unresponsive. I have no idea why Mars would license such a poor quality game. I would give this zero stars if possible

Frustrating! Bizarre! Cheap! Confusing! Junk!

Wait ... beyond junk. It's bizzare in how bad it is. The controls are so bad I actually hurt myself. The graphics are cheap and crappy. The on screen instructions are even worse than the game play. The interface was confusing.

Only two games are slightly playable, skeet ball and ring toss. My son, who is 7, did enjoy these two for about 5 minutes only because it was a game we could play together but I highly doubt he will ever want to play it again because the graphics are so bad. Instead we will go back to Wii Sports bowling and Wii Play fishing.

The volley ball game is UNPLAYABLE, very complex and just bizzare. Just try serving, go ahead try it! Then try hitting the ball after serving, button A+upswing to set, button B+down swing to hit, shake the control like crazy to do a super spike. Now do this all in about 2 seconds. No? couldn't do it? We gave up on this game mid-way. So back to Wii Sports Tennis.

And how about that kayacking? Can you even tell what is meant by the Wii remote icon over all 4 players, even though two players are CPU players. And occassionally the Wii remote icons will turn into a Red X, even over the CPU players. I guess those CPU players' Wii remote lost their signal. Back to ANY Wii racing game I ever played (Wii Play cow race, Wii-ware racing games)

Oh and what was it with multi player mode? You pick multiplayer and you are shown 4 boxes with two Wii remote icons in each with no explaination. Ya that makes PERFECT sense to me.

The controls are so horrible and unresponsive, this lack of response will make you swing, flick harder and harder. This caused my arms to hurth. No really hurt. All the crazy movements I do with Wii Sports boxing, or Wii Fit boxing NEVER hurt my arm. Yet M&M volleyball hurht my arm like a Little League pitcher who threw too much during a season.

This game did do one good thing, it made me appreciate all the great Nintendo titles suchs as Sports, Fit, Sports Resort, Mario Super Sluggers. I longed for those games as my wrist and armed hurt from over flicking.

I wish there was such a thing as a no star rating because I would have given that. We did get it for free as someone else was going to donate it to Salvation Army. I may help this game continue it's journey to Salvation Army, however this posses a moral delima to me. Can I, a fan of video games, contribute to the life span of this bizzarely horrible game? No I can not, I think I shall have to destroy this disc. I just imagine the look of excitement on a child's face as she sees this game waiting for her, only for her to realize she's been ripped off. Ripping off children is as low as it gets in my consumer book, DONT DO IT!

Don't buy this or any other M&M titles unless Mars Co. post an open letter of appology explaining that it was an executive's 5 year who programed this thing, and he is now fired and being sued by the company. In fact I DEMAND an explaination. This is one brand that I will NEVER buy a game from again.

I bought this hoping that my 4 year old would be able to play it. Some of the games she can, but overall it's not very good.

She can play the kayaking race game (and actually beat the rest of us the first try with it). And she can play the paint-the-M&Ms shooting gallery game. The skeeball game is also okay.

The beach volleyball game is ridiculously complicated. My wife and I couldn't figure it out.

Overall, the graphics quality is poor with very little detail. We also had the game lock up on us several times, once so bad that the only way to fix it was to unplug power from the Wii console and plug it back in again.

This game is very low quality and not very fun at all. There are only 6 games and they are so boring. I really can't imagine that anyone would like this game. It is the worse game I have seen for the Wii and I am taking it back to the store now. OMG it's just awful!

I bought this game and played it before I read the reviews on here. I'm glad I did! This is one of the least expensive Wii games I have found and I think you get your money's worth. True, it only has six games and a few of them are not very fun. However, the "paintball" game is the best Wii game I have played so far! Just that game alone is worth the money, in my opinion. My four-year-old boy likes it, too; he has a blast doing the kayak races. Overall, this is a simple and colorful game good for all ages. For under [...], it's an inexpensive game that is worth adding to your Wii collection.

When I saw this game, I taught it's going to be perfect for the kids (6y). But I made mistake. It's very hard for adults, and you can't imagine how hard it's for the kids. So overall no one had fun. Not worth of the money.

We borrowed this game from a friend. My daughter loves that it has M&M characters and some of the mini games are kind of fun. However, the controls are extremely clunky and some of the games virtually unplayable. I may have given it more stars, but the fact that you cannot opt for the controls to be left-handed frustrated us beyond measure. It seems a little discriminatory, given that so many games now have the left-handed option.

DISSAPOINTMENT,FUSTRATING,WHORTHLESS.these are 3 words that discribe this game.the games are totally fustrarting,confusing and boring.SO DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY spend it on something worth about $20 like super smash bros. bwral.so if your thinking of buying this game,you might as well take all the money in your wallet and flush it down the TOLIET.thanks for reading

I am a casual but experienced gamer, and I can have a good time playing simple, goofy games but this one is just not worth it. I bought this game for 50% off at Toys R Us, so I only paid $7.50 for it brand new. I'm glad I did not pay anymore for M&M's Beach Party, otherwise I would have taken it back

On to my review... the controls are lousy, there are only 6 games to play, and the game altogether is not very fun. The controls for the Kayaking are confusing and not very responsive. For volleyball, the game sometimes does not register your movements; it can take forever to play one game. The other games are forgettable in my opinion except for the Skeeball game. That is the only game that responds to your controls and is actually half competitive.

If you can get this game for under $10, give it a shot, otherwise don't waste your money and time. It is frustrating and not very fun. Play it once and you probably won't want to play it again. The only reason it gets more play time at my house is because we have guests who want to try it. The main reason we bought it is because it looked fun because it's the M&M's.

This is a very fun game for everyone to play together. The m&m characters are fun to play as. Highly recommend this game!
