The Croods: Prehistoric Party! is a video game based on the DreamWorks Animation film The Croods. It was developed by Torus Games and published by published by D3Publisher on March 19, 2013. The party-themed game was released on Wii, Nintendo DS, Nintendo 3DS, and Wii U. NintendoLife said of the Wii U version " For the right price and the right audience, Prehistoric Party could be a fine way to pass the afternoon, but aside from the presentation, it's mostly a disappointing experience. The mini-games on offer vary wildly in quality, and even the best of them are derivative and largely forgettable, while the board game frame is slow and uneventful. Younger fans of the movie might very well enjoy the settings, characters, and charming musical score enough to deal with the monotonous gameplay, but uninvested players should head elsewhere for their party game fix. " Cubed3 said " Ultimately, The Croods: Prehistoric Party is simply a very disappointing experience plagued by bad game design and control issues. "[2] Official Nintendo Magazine UK said "The graphics are some of the worst seen on WiiU...[and] many of the controls are flawed and unresponsive. " NintendoLife said of the 3DS version " This portable Prehistoric Party takes the best elements of the Wii U version — the fun of playing with friends and a personable presentation — and throws them out the window. What's left is a half-hearted collection of mediocre mini-games, with nothing to tie them together and no compelling reason to play them.
