How to get out of it when you want to make a video game but you have no ideas? Simple, just go browse on the side of board games, polygonize it all and make a game! So after the recent Monopoly: Classic and World Editions, here is that Electronic Arts joins forces with Hasbro to continue to decline some famous boxes on consoles. In this case, we even have the right to a compilation of six titles: "Puissance 4", "Touché Coulé", "Yathzee", "Boggle", "Sorry!" and "Sorry! Sliders". While the first four are relatively well known to everyone, the last two probably don't tell you much. In "Sorry!", it's basically using cards to move your four pawns on the board and bring them to the finish. In "Sorry! Sliders", you throw your pawns with the Wiimote to make them slide towards a central target. Depending on the points obtained, we approach victory on the scorecard, knowing that to end up on the finish line, we need the exact number of points. In other words, it is not enough to make the biggest score, on the contrary it is sometimes necessary not to project its pawns too strong if one needs, for example, only one point to gain. Of course, I summarized the rules very simply, but the game offers instructions for each game and regularly displays help messages. For each title, several variants are offered, just to vary the pleasures, precisely. So obviously, you can play alone but facing the console is of little interest. The whole point of the game lies in the multiplayer, one to three friends can join you depending on the game you want to play. Technically, it's pretty well done, the controls respond well, the skin is nice too. From there, it's up to you to see the interest you want to bring to this compilation. Because the problem with board games is that the friendly aspect disappears a bit when you play them through a screen. The naval battle and the "Power 4" lose a lot of their fun while the "Boggle" is more "practical" to play in real life. Hence the "average" mark that sanctions this test. From a purely formal point of view, Hasbro Best of Family Games is well done. Regarding its gameplay, it's up to you to see if the games on offer appeal to you and if you don't mind playing with your friends in front of a TV rather than around a table.
