Party/quiz games?

[torifile]

Any good quiz games out there? I'm thinking a game with 4 player competitions, etc. Also, any good 4 player games in general. I've got 4 controllers/nunchuks so I'm set there. TIA.

Do they make Scene It? for the Wii? I've got a 360 but I only have 2 controllers for my 360.

WarioWare: Smooth Moves

It sounds like what you're looking for is Smarty Pants. It's best with four players, heavily quiz-based, and has some mini games thrown in. It's also really cheap now.

We also play Ghost Squad a lot when we have four people over.

Try Dokapon Kingdom -- it's like Mario Party with a fantasy/RPG skin, and you can really screw over your opponents for extra fun.

THIS!

if you're actually gonna have 4 people playing, smarty pants is a TON of fun. definitely the best quiz game for wii, imo. playing it by yourself though... no fun at all.

Smarty Pants is fun.

Big Brain Academy is really fun.

The best four player game on the machine is Boom Blox.

I second mario party

ugh... can i take one away from mario party?

they really need something new to reboot the franchise a bit. i hoped wii controls would do it, but they're so badly executed... this game is just so boring to me, even with 4 players.

I think we owned Mario Party for all of a day before trading it straight across for WarioWare (which has gotten a ton of four-player time at our house). MP8 is intensely dull, relies really heavily on being able to tolerate the most insipid parts of the Mario universe, and lacks any real sense of fun. Most of the mini-games are downright unpleasant due to lousy control or basic design, but honestly it doesn't matter because mini-games occur so infrequently. All four players spend most of their time sitting staring at the characters hopping around the game board. Even the person whose turn it is hardly gets to do anything most of the time.

Boom Blox is great for destructive fun for 4, Big Brain not as good as the DS and did not really incorporate much for the Wii, Smarty Pants has some fairly tough questions and there are some things each person has to do when they are answering questions so adds a little fun to it, Cranium Kabookii is a good one as well and some games you have to use the glasses it includes which gives it a little more flavor, bomberman only if you stick with the multiplayer mode(single player is trash) so you can blow each other up for hours.
