In total, there are 16 kids to choose from and although their character models aren't amazing, each one is animated in a lively manner which gives them a lot of personality. I'm not familiar with Les Sisters at all but I do enjoy the cast of characters that are on display here. Heck, there's even a bonus bite-sized retro 2D platformer that you can play in the kids' living room that's called The Pixel Sisters. It's impressive that they crammed this much content into the single-player component and it provides quite a laidback and enjoyable experience which is a nice change of pace between multiplayer sessions. In addition to the multiplayer fun, there's a whole Adventure mode that you can play through as either Wendy or Maureen which has you explore a game world while playing mini-games, finding a variety of different collectibles, and completing quests that involve things like investigating, racing, hunting for treasure, and fishing. Although these aren't shining examples, there's still a solid amount of fun to be had overall. There's even a mini-game where you make French fries that plays like it's straight from Cooking Mama and a couple of games where you simply push other players while either earning points or trying not to fall off the arena. Another one is just a claw machine where it's hard not to pick something up which is kind of boring. Meanwhile, one game simply has you tap a button after watching 4 lamps light up while trying to keep with the beat and it lasts a bit too long and isn't that fun. It's not that engaging but it's hilarious to watch.

For example, one mini-game involves mashing a button so you stay hanging on to a ceiling fan. Of course, not every game is a gem but even the more generic ones are still a bit fun. Games like these are frantic, require skill, and are therefore highly entertaining with up to 4 friends. A few of my favourite mini-games include one where you carry drinks on a serving plate from one end of a dance floor to the other and it's very tricky to not spill any of them, an obstacle course where you run and perform various actions to get your character to the end, and one where you carefully measure cereal in order to reach a specific weight. Thankfully, most of them are quite fun and they feature a lot of variety as well as originality which you don't often see in the genre. I've enjoyed similar games with more as well as some with less so it's a solid amount to have. The most important part of any party game is its collection of mini-games and The Sisters - Party of the Year features 24 of them. 🤩 Yeah, I guess it's pretty cool, Wendy. │ Nothing causes more disappointment than hype so at Video Chums, we avoid hyping games prior to playing them for ourselves. So, invite a few chums over and get ready to party! I love party games of all kinds and the more obscure, the better so I decided to play one based on the French cartoon Les Sisters and I'm happy to say that it's actually pretty good. The Sisters - Party of the Year is also available for Xbox One and Nintendo Switch
