Mushroom Men gives players the opportunity to jump into the fantastic microcosm that is the backyard battlefield. Take control of the crusade, creating devastating weapons from everyday items and teaming up with other sentient plant forms that'll leave the enemy sliced and diced. Let the stylus be your rapier and the Wii Remote your bazooka as you cut down the multitude of household pests that threaten our very existence! Mushroom Men inhabit the world that goes on while we humans are looking the other way, in the twilight hours when we sleep. We tower above them and go about our business completely unaware of the war waged at our feet. After the comet had passed, the scientists concluded that the strange, green dust had no effect on the world. No one noticed that tiny plants and fungi were acting strangely. Mushrooms, cacti, flowers and vines had awakened to full consciousness. Tribes quickly formed, building plant and fungi nations and with nation building… came war! Mushroom Men shows gamers the mundane world from the surreal perspective of a three inch high Mushroom Man. As a brave Bolete Mushroom, players can wreak havoc on their enemies by transforming common household trinkets and trash into weapons and tools.

This game is fun, I was hoping it was for 2 people, but engaging for one. Got stuck in a few rooms, but I guess that is normal, as I"m new to video games.

This fun game offers a lot of bang for the buck. The world is visually beautiful and interesting, and the music is great. If I hadn't finished it in only 2 weeks, I would still be playing it at every opportunity. I liked the controls on the Wii, even though I thought at first it would be too simplistic. It is challenging to find all the crystals (the more you find, the harder your mushroom-cap head becomes and the harder you are to kill), but the game is not burdened by impossible or frustrating battles. If you do die, you just reappear a little ways back. Some of the crazed rabbits and other animals were too scary for my 7-year-old, but not as frightening to her as the dark foes at the end of Zelda, and there are no death scenes and cadavers laying around, either. My only gripe with this game is that I wish it were longer and I was still playing it.

I read one review that said that if you think you might like it you probably will and I did! Nice graphics, easy controller use, good tutorials that are not too long and boring. Very little dialog (compared to some games). Level goals are easy to understand and you learn new tricks (powers) as you progress through the levels You also build new weapons with items you find along your way. Great for adults, and kids. Young children would have trouble with this game but kids around 10 would be able to navigate this game just fine. If nothing else borrow it from someone and give it a shot. It's a evening well spent.

Again my daughter rates this game as "cool". She said it is a little difficult, but she still plays the game.

I purchased this game after reading favorable reviews, but I wish I had been able to play it first. It's a bit simplistic and just didn't hold my attention. Maybe I'm older than the target audience. Regardless, it's been relegated to the bottom of the wii game stack.
