Worth $19.99 new?
Gamestop has Hail to the Chimp for $19.99 new. Is it worth that much? Is it fun? Thank you.

Try the demo, it was probably one of the worst demos I have played.  It's definitely not worth $20 in my opinion.

Oh wow. Thanks a lot for letting me know! The demo is always a good way to go. I'll probably save my money. Thanks!

Best way to play it is as a local co-op party game. If you do that it is worth the money. Pretty fun game to play with casual gamers at your house. Lots of things to unlock and do, online play is dead however. The games have more depth and are better than they look on the surface. The game also has a unique humor that would be hard to catch on a demo I think.

Re cap: Great buy if you have kids, looking for a party game to play with casual gamers. Single player is decent but not worth the buy on its own and online public games are dead.

Thank you for your detailed reply. I may pick it up if I have some friends over. Thanks!

Looking back on it, I don't think I would've liked it as much had I played the demo by myself.  My roommate and I ran across it one day cleaning out stuff I've downloaded and never played and we ended up having a blast playing the demo over and over again.  It's not often you play a demo of a game you've never heard of and you're actually excited to go buy the full version.

I've never even tried playing the game by myself.  In fact, I don't even see a reason to.  It's definetly a "party game", so if you've got a few friends over, try it out.  You'll definetly have fun.

Biggest mistake they made is requiring 4 people to start a online public game, which I have only seen happen once the day the developers were playing. You can however have less than 4 for online private matches.

I'd say it's not worth $19.99, but maybe the $9 that CircuitCity.com has it on sale for, and that's only IF you have other people to play local co-op with. Multiplayer has some fun as a mini-game fest, but you'll grow both bored and frustrated playing solo. The entire game feels more like an Xbox Live Arcade title than a full retail release.

My friend said that this game was nominated for Game of the Year. As you can see he is not my friend anymore.

Seriously, this game is a watered-down Mario Party with animals who have a disturbing affinity for clams running for President of the Jungle.

Honest I think it is pretty hard to find this game now. Now other family titles have dropped to the 20.00 level that are better like BK nuts and bolts. I still stick with what I said it is a decent family multiplayer party game especially for the casual gamer. It really wasn't meant for single player and online is dead. That is what hurt this title. Best bet is if your a parent looking for a game to pass away short bursts with your young kids. It is very hard to find 4 player same console games on the 360.
