Manufacturer's Description
Smarty Pants finally levels the playing field for people of all ages, allowing simultaneous play using age-targeted trivia plus action based gestures, making it a truly transgenerational game made exclusively for the Wiiâ„¢. Tailoring questions to the contestant's age, gamers from eight to eighty can join in on the fun all at the same time. Every player's answer is tracked, and the game automatically adjusts the difficulty level to provide continuous stimulation and interactive challenges that are age appropriate. Exciting Wii gestures make everything a game, from spinning the category wheel and tug-of-wars over correct answers, to "dance-offs" for additional points.
Smarty Pants boasts multiple game modes including a family mode, a single team race against time and a rapid-fire competitive mode perfect for groups of friends. With both competitive and collaborative game modes and 20,000 questions in multiple categories, the fun is virtually endless!

Simple Quiz Game - but great fun
I bought this to play with family and friends. It's a very straightforward quiz game, with fairly limited gaming options.
On the first day I brought it home, my wife and 14 year old son played it for about 3 hours straight and both thoroughly enjoyed it.
Although there are a few nods towards the Wii remotes cababilities (e.g. the Double Point dance!), there aren't many, and essentiially this is a nicely implemented buzzer based quiz, with a few twists that add to the fun.
Smarty Pants - Fun for all the family
The first quiz game for the Wii doesn't disappoint. Quality questions that are aimed at ages 8-80 come thick and fast with questions suited to the age of the person whose turn it is. For the first time a games company have actually bothered to create a game that all the family can actually play together on a level playing field.
The breadth of questions is fantastic and is extremely current including films released as recently as November 2007 for example. The only criticism I'd make is that there could have been more breadth of gameplay and perhaps more mini games but overall a storming game for everyone to play together.
Great Family Fun
I bought this game with the idea it would entertain the whole family, and what a good buy!
From my the 10 year old to the 50 year old (and many in between) in our house it keeps us all laughing and enjoying ourselves.
I do agree if you only have one remote it's a bit useless as i didnt enjoy the single modes as much, but the multiplayer is amazing.
It allows for all of the players ages to be taken into consideration when picking questions, so gives us younger players a better shot, especially good for entertaining the kids, as they can interact much better, unlike the likes of Buzz for ps2 which has preset questions they find hard to undertand and answer.
I'm giving it a 5/5 for good family fun but do understand it isn't quite up there with some off the other games for 1player fun.
