Games review roundup: The Smurfs, Captain America and more

Here 's our weekly roundup of the few games that slipped under the radar, - such as Touch' n 'Play Collection, inFAMOUS 2 and Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet

The Smurfs: Dance Party ...

Wii, ? 19.99, cert 3 +, Ubisoft
The Smurfs Dance Party is a shameless movie tie-in directly to younger children. It 'sa superficial story mode consists of a series of songs from the film, told by Papa Smurf incomprehensibly abbreviated version of the plot are linked. The dance mode is slightly easier on the ear, as it replaced with cover versions of classic tracks including important texts with the word "smurf". But a warning to parents: There 'sa non-stop shuffle mode, for days, if you' d like to bleed your eardrums. The Smurfs Dance Party is surprisingly difficult - detailed instructions for the repeated movements are displayed only once, and the score seems completely arbitrary. Since there are no real penalties for non-compliance, it will gain only a problem in multi-player mode, where it 's easier by luck than by effort or ability. Young children may also have difficulty following the instructions on the screen, but when all they really want is to jump up and down in time, the Smurfs 'most recent musical output, this is the perfect way to do so.
