Pros: - Great fun for all ages (my 6-year-old, myself, and my parents all love it)
- Tons of variety
- Subtly addictive - hours can slip by playing this
- Massive improvement in multiplayer options and available game types
- Downloadable levels you can sort by rating, popularity, etc.
- Easy editing tools for creating your own levels or editing any of the levels in the game - my 6-year-old can (and does) use them
- No Friend Codes (always a plus)

Cons: - Can make your arm hurt after throwing tons of virtual baseballs/bowling balls/etc.
- I'm still not a huge fan of the Jenga-style levels - especially the timed ones

Other Thoughts: If you liked the original, you're going to love the sequel. If you didn't play the original, you're missing out on the best reason to own a Wii. This series is huge fun both for kids and adults. Perfect for parties or get togethers - everyone can play and do well regardless of experience level. The new block and projectile types add some great depth to this outing, giving you just that much more to do for hours on end.

The mulitplayer options have been also been given some much welcome depth. In the first game, I always felt like the mulitplayer modes, while fun, started to get a "been there, done that" vibe kind of early on. Bash Party fixes that in a big way. There's almost as much depth in multiplayer this time around as there is in the single player game.

The downloadable levels are icing on the top and the fact that you don't have to fiddle with friend codes is a huge bonus.

Bottom line: This is a great game. If you own a Wii, you need this
