Platform for Display:Nintendo Wii
Fun:
For teens and older, I think this game will get tedious pretty fast. However, I was looking for a good Wii game with simple controls (single controller) to play with my younger children. "Playground" makes an excellent addition to our Wii library of games and both the single-player and multi-player modes will get a good workout from us. This one is actually simpler than Carnival Games which I also recommend as a "kid friendly" game.
Basically, you wander around the playground collecting marbles and challenge other children to various games to earn stickers to place in your sticker book. Many smaller kids will find this feature quite appealing. My favorite games so far are the slot cars, paper airplanes, and dodgeball. All are simple enough (at least at the beginning) for most children to play. For example, tetherball is exceptionally simple at the outset. As you gain experience and skills, you will unlock more advanced versions of the games and new games as well. The game increases in difficulty as you progress.
As with most Wii games, don't expect stellar graphics quality. The Wii is aimed towards gameplay rather than graphics and this is another good implementation of the mini-game format for which the Wii is famous. One thing that does annoy me with the game is that although the text is in English, the children speak in Japanese. It's kind of cute, but for the price, I'd hope they'd have taken the time to re-dub the audio portions.
Overall, I think my children will find this enjoyable and challenging. This is a wholesome videogame that I can recommend without qualms.

Fun:
The four of us in our family have been playing this game for about a month and we have a great time with it. I can see how this game wouldn't be so much fun to play by yourself, but it's super fun to play against other people. I highly recommend this game if you are looking for something the whole family can play.

Fun:
The common Wii game problem is the lack of content. Playground has 8-9 mini games, but they are almost identical. Only really different and enjoyable game was the paintball shooting. Comparing the 8-9 game difficulty level, it's about as complex as 1 mini game in Rayman.
So considering Rayman gives you 50 or so hilarious mini games, and playground offers 8 very similar mini games, this is really not a great buy. Rental game for party, but not a keeper.
Like th 3 star rating, nothing is superb in the game, but nothing is bad. It's just bland. $40 could be better spend on something else.

How have so few people heard of this game?
Let's get the only negative out of the way, shall we? The reason I can't give this mini-game collection 5 stars is because of the way you have to walk around on the playground. Read more

Surprisingly addictive
The simplicity of this game makes it great for people of all ages, though it appeals to a certain kind of gamer. Personally, I enjoy collecting things and am a completionist. Read more

Great game for young children that want to Wii!
This game has several different playground oriented games to play. My son at age 4 loved playing the paper airplane racer and the car race that looks like hot wheels cars on one... Read more

Fun game
This game is pretty fun and has lots of mini games to keep the kids happy. I personally like the slot car racing the best followed by wallball and the darts game. Read more

Mediocre and monotonous.
A number of tedious activities with a mean-spirited competitive playground setting thrown in for good measure. Read more

Excellent for younger children
We've had this game for about a year and, at first, all the reading annoyed me. My daughter constantly wanted help with what the game was telling her. Read more

Pure Play
The problem with EA Playground is it's just too simple. There are only seven real games, and not all of them are great fun. Everybody has to love Dodgeball and Slot Car Racing. Read more

Great Gift
I ordered this game for my niece for her birthday (6 years old). I haven't played it, but she seems to love it!

Great fun for all ages
The base game story is a bit corny, but the multi-player mode is a blast. How else can adults (and kids alike) play a game of dodgeball in the living room?
