Party Crashers won't crash our parties

We know what you're thinking: the Wii needs another minigame compilation!

The latest in the line of "party games" is Party Crashers, which has a crash test dummy theme to it. Specifically, the game was inspired by Twelve Interactive's Cid the Dummy -- a multiplatform game that's not even out yet. Even worse, many of the games will have to be unlocked, and if you've ever played a party game with a "feature" like that before, we're sure you know how annoying it is.

There'll be twenty-five minigames available in this title, which will range from puzzles to music-based games. To get an idea of what these will entail, some of the activities include "Pie in the Face," "Chinese Plates," "Dummy Cannonball," "Pizza Delivery," "Treasure Island," and "Dummy Dance." You won't be able to play such tantalizing-sounding minis until next April, though, since that's the planned release month.

Even though we're labeling this as do not want, we're glad we had an excuse to listen to the Crash Test Dummies' "MMM MMM MMM MMM." We always find a silver lining!

Hey, dummy! Check out this new game


It's pretty hard to resist a game about beating up on a hapless crash dummy, which is why we've actually bothered playing the licensed Incredible Crash Dummies game on ... well, too many platforms. Developer Twelve Interactive is reviving the idea with their new game Cid the Dummy.

The new action-platformer's story reads, bizarrely, like an alternate, pun-riddled take on Astro Boy or Mega Man: Professor B.M. Werken creates a robot version of his lost daughter, who is then kidnapped by his newly evil assistant D-Troit. A crash dummy, Cid, is chosen at random to rescue her and is given a bazooka with Freeze, Flame, and Rubber Bullet ammo.

The game also contains crash tests! In these bonus games, Cid attempts to get his car up to speed to crash through up to five walls and pick up bonus items. Strap on your safety belt and drive directly into our gallery for a bunch of screens!
