The Smurfs - Village Party Reviews

Die Schlümpfe - Village Party is a open world exploration with mini games and side mission to find and a party game packed as a whole game: Pros: + mini games are fun (50 of them) + good bots balance the best of the Microids Party games so far with the bot balance (sure a few of them are a little easier or harder than others but it didnt really feel unbalanced) + after you finish the adventure mode you get unlocked Village Party mode where you can play all mini games again with a highscore to beat which is a nice idea + Village Party mode atmosphere is nice, also nightime looks better here + soild animations (victory animations are cute) and also the character models look great + the cutscenes and story are nice and feels like the new TV-Show + the open world defintly feels like The Smurfs and also a lot of object here, a lot of smurfs walking around and it dont feels lifless and empty + in Challenge mode is good you can play all Party games there with even all the main cast characters (17 of them plus all oc costumes variants and one karate smurfette variant from the show) + side missions are nothing special but fit for the smurfs like: extinguish fire, race, shoot something like chestnuts, play golf, do a small puzzle with a stone and more... (and also all mini games in the open world) + collectiables are alright to find and are mostly fun to do, the only thing that is kinda confusing how to unlock was the Grap Grap smurf doctor side mission, you have to build all 6 the statues around the open world first then you unlock the mission and also one more mini game + soild soundtrack in open world and mini games + ui art design is great + fighting game syle menu in challenge mode is funny Cons: - open world as a whole is actually is the worse part of the game because it feels unpolished, there is sometimes flying items and also gras in the air - graphics in the open world are kinda weak there (ps3/xbox 360 quality) with blurry lighting and also shadow iuses a lot of them (missing shadows here and there) - you play an OC (a normal smurf character in the adventure mode) its not really my thing i would prefer to play the main cast like Smurfette, Brainy, Sturmi, Hefty, Blossom, Handi, Farmi it would definitely gives even a better vibe to it but its alright how it is - not all chracters you meat get cutscenes, there are characters that only get text boxes - in Village Party mode (hard mode) there are a few mini games that are a little bit to hard and also a few that are a little to easy - the Mine mini game have an bug where bots can stuck - the story actually have a small error middle in the scene where Gagarmel are in the smurf village and catch brainy and smurfette, there you can see smurflily isn't in the cage anymore and also she isn't in the cage, in Gagamel's house she was exchanged to Blossom - sadly you cant choose which smurf the bots can play all are random and the worst about that, mostly they only pick up these boring oc variants - oc smurf (your own) in adventure mode have repetitive lines the main ones like walking he says things and also on Smurfway vehicle, at least the specific places where you go isn't to bad Overall it is a ok Smurf game its faithul to the new TV show, not the best and not the worst, for sure not as good as The Smurfs Mision Vileaf and 2 Green Stone but i would say its on same level with Smurf Dreams and Kart. Its Microids most content cartoon Party game so far compared to others like Garfield and The Sisters for example.

The best Smurfs game ever! You can explore the whole village, the forest, Gargamel's house, the enchanted forest and more! Tons of characters, quests, treasures, collectibles awaits! Oh and you can play 50 different mini games right from the main menu, up to 4 players co-op!
