Advantages: FUN!, Similarity to Banzai!, Easy for all to play

Disadvantages: Games too short at times

This game is INSANE fun!

From the moment my girlfriend and I loaded this up, we were laughing and we didn't stop until the machine was turned off.

Bishi Bashi Special contains 48+ different games, although there are LOTS of variations on three or four simple themes. The idea of the game? To win as many of the 48 games as possible, of course! This does NOT take as long as it sounds due to the fact that the individual games are over all too quickly, meaning a 48 game match only takes about 30 minutes.

The games are VERY easy to control and before each round, the controls are presented on screen along with a simple explanation.

Fans of the TV show "Banzai!" will be making immediate comparisons between the two. The way the whole title is presented is very similar when it comes to insanity rating and the names of the individual games couldn't be any stupider if they tried. "Run Girly Run, Big Burger Maker" is one example that springs to mind.

All in all, for about £15, Bishi Bashi Special is superb game, especially for 2 player fun. (No four player option is available, though). Any more than this, and I would think hard before purchasing.

A good game, great fun, but a little too simplistic for some.
