Talk:Party game

List

Anyone think we should ditch the list of games, and simply point people to the "Party Games" category? BeakerK44 02:18, 3 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Well, there is a paragraph on what a party game is, plus the section for children's party games. Also there are links to articles not yet created, which a category page doesn't have, right? In the future there may be more such meta information added, and even now it is slightly more than just "List of Party Games". I would vote to keep the list rather than linking to the category, but maybe it is the new convention to replace all lists with categories. --Fritzlein 06:59, 3 Jul 2004 (UTC)

I vote to keep this article, but I think the Category:Party games (not Party Games) is valid. Once all the party game articles are linked to the category, we'll see where we stand. -- Netoholic 23:26, 3 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Huh?

Party video games?

Guitar Hero is most certainly NOT a party game. It strictly belongs to the music game world, in the arcade subgenre. It is designed for two players maximum, and its multiplayer modes, with the exception of GH3's Battle mode, amount to simple extrapolations of the single player gameplay. While I'm at it, Singstar is a karaoke music game with a party-oriented multiplayer afterthought thrown in. Also, EyeToy? EyeToy isn't even a game! It's an input device, for which a number of party games have been made, but this is a list of party video GAMES, not input devices for which party video games have been made. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.87.96.159 (talk) 03:56, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

I'd also have to argue the validity of this list, as Dance Dance Revolution is a Rhythm game and Smash Brothers is a Fighting game (it even says so on it's wiki page not even listing Party Game as a genre.) While you can play these games at parties, and they are multiplayer games, they also go beyond the definition listed on the Videogame Genre page:

"Party games are video games developed specifically for multiplayer games between many players. Normally, party games have a variety of mini-games that range between collecting more of a certain item than other players or having the fastest time at something. Such games include the Mario Party series, Crash Boom Bang!, Rayman Raving Rabbids and the Super Smash Bros. series. Versus multiplayer games are not generally considered to be party games."

Which, once again mentions Smash Brothers, despite it immediately saying afterwards that "Versus multiplayer games are not generally considered to be party games."

The Party Game genre as a label seems to be reserved specifically for mini-game compilation type games that are similar to Mario Party. These other games listed are part of a LARGER genre such as "Rhythm" or "Fighting". 130.49.200.83 (talk) 16:04, 11 January 2011 (UTC)

Party game.

I'm not sure if the edit by the IP address was vandalism or not, so I just undid my own edit and removed my warning from the IP address' talk page. I'll let someone else determine if it's vandalism or not. - Eugene Krabs (talk) 15:01, 24 May 2009 (UTC)
