Majesco has a fun mini-game compilation with Furu Furu Park, created by the classic gaming masterminds at Taito. Its mixture of arcade classics and creative little activities, combined with a joyous Love Challenge mode, make it worth its $20 price tag.

Furu Furu Park offers thirty mini games, including more challenging "remixes" of other stages to appease gamers looking for higher difficulty. These games vary, ranging from entries in Taito's classic arcade library to party activities. One minute, you'll pull off fighting techniques against an aggressive ninja, and the next, you'll roll a marble through a rotating stage, attempting to reach the exit before time runs out. Long-time Taito fans will recognize several of these games, including Arkanoid, Bubble Bobble and the very obscure Sonic Blastman.

You'll use one of two control methods for most of the games. Either you'll hold the Wii remote in a specific position in one hand or you'll play with it NES-style, turning it sideways and using the D-pad and buttons to manipulate your on-screen actions. Most of Park's mini-games are fun to play, although they're slightly unbalanced. Trying to clear the Raystorm shooting segments, for instance, requires some very strong bullet-dodging skills. On the other hand, a few games are way too easy. The skateboarding mini-game, for instance, is too easy to complete.

Although Furu Furu Park lacks next-generation visuals, it has more than enough hand-drawn charm. A lot of the mini-games are a pleasure to see, particularly the mummy unwrapping stage and the old-school Bubble Bobble presentation. The menu is also easy to navigate, with clear-to-read titles of each of the games. Sound consists of cute little tunes and effects. They don't wear out their welcome, but also fail to do anything significant.

With multiplayer, Furu Furu Park limits itself to two-player action. However, it offers three different modes. The Free-Battle Mode lets you select random games and compete against each other in quick match-ups, while Panel Attack lets you control portions of a grid by winning certain events. The most interesting of the three, however, is Love Challenge. Hosted by the likable Afro Man, this mode tests compatibility between two gamers (preferably a male and a female), seeing which mini-games they play best and rating them. This mode makes Furu Furu Park stand out from its competition, mainly because of the unpredictable results it produces. Solo players can also check out Free-Play and Solo Modes on their own, although the game is more fun with a friend.

Furu Furu Park is surprisingly fun. Its mixture of old-school favorites and new games, along with its undeniably cool Love Challenge mode, make it $20 well spent. Still, we can't help but wonder...just what the heck is a Furu Furu?
