Big Kahuna Party is a WiiWare game by Reflexive Entertainment. It is part of Reflexive's Big Kahuna series, which includes Big Kahuna Reef and Big Kahuna Words. It was released for the WiiWare in North America on December 15, 2008 at a cost of 700 Wii Points. [1]

Overview

Big Kahuna Party includes a single-player mode and an up to 4 player multiplayer mode. Each level resembles oceanic holiday for players as they match up sea-themed objects. Players have to discover new and exotic fish and explore all 99 levels.

Players can swap tiles using either just the Wii Remote, or with both the Wii Remote and the Nunchuk. Big Kahuna Party also features explosives, which are created as players make matches of 5 or more. They will vary in sizes from little sticks of dynamite to huge nuclear bombs used to clear out large sections of hard to reach level tiles.

Reception

IGN cited that it's an "uninspired rehash" with little lasting appeal.[2] Wiiloveit.com, however, stated that it has a nice party element, serving as "the main draw" of the release.[3]
