I just finished playing this game, and it is mildly entertaining. I would say that its aimed at the 10-13 year old set, and I definitely wouldnt pay more than $15 for this game.. By all means, wait until the price comes down. I played it for about 10 minutes, and my initial impression is as follows:

I selected the "story mode" from the title screen, and as you would expect there are all of the Napoleon Dynamite catch-phrases in this game. (Tina! You fat lard!, Flippin' sweeet!, etc.) No audio, just text to read. I played 4 of the mini-games (this title seems to be all mini-games), and none of them utilized the touch screen. One was a football throwing contest against uncle Rico, one was throwing food at a spitting llama, next was riding a unicorn while shooting at rocket-powered flying cows, and the other was practicing dance moves to the Z-kwon dance video. The graphics are average, and evoke a feeling of Southpark, as everything is very cut 'n paste. The audio is terrible and features the most repetitive music you've ever heard.

As I stated, the game is mildly fun. Maybe younger kids will like it, but I found it to be very repetitive and overall not very interesting. Get this one when its in the deep-discount bin.

Loved this game! A hilarious similarity to Pictionary. Can be modified to all ages, even young ones! Can also be modified to play with many people. Wonderful concept! Can't say enough about this one! A must have for a game night!

I think the film itself was pretty funny, and I must admit, playing the game and reading all the catch phases from the movie popping up was funny. The game is both funny and fun. I have already gotten to the 4th level and it's so much fun, which is strange seeing how its a game based on a pointless and fairly short movie. I'd recommend. I paid 9.88 for it brand new on ebay and i think it was worth every penny.

My daughter sayes she likes playing this game. It has several different games to select from that come directly out of the movie.
