Reminiscent of earlier releases in the franchise where players nurture individual babies while mothers and fathers are away at work or on errands, Imagine Party Babyz expands on the idea with the twist of placing players in the role of a baby in daycare. Built around a line-up of 30 mini-games that are design to be playable by yourself or in multiplayer mode with up to three additional players, the first task you face is to customize the baby you will be playing as.

Just a few of these are the timelessly slow, racing classic: Red Light, Green Light, which has players wildly shaking the Wii Remote to move their baby forward as the babysitter's back is turned and freezing when he/she turns around; and a takeoff the common giant puzzle game children adore, in which players use the Wii Remote to get their babies to fit pieces in place. The perfect multiplayer Wii game for parents to play with their young children, Imagine Party Babyz brings the magic of a child's experience to life for both kids and kids at heart. Features: 30 hilarious mini-games. Character customization of your babies. Both singleplayer and 1-4 player multiplayer support. Adorable babies to care for and ultimate babysitting tasks.
