EA Playground review at Cubed3.

"EA likes Wii, so it was no surprise to see them inspired by Wii Sports and create their own mini-game-fest sooner rather than later. However, when doing so they also decided that they’d like to give the DS a piece of the action as well and created a portable version of EA Playground while they were at it, so you can relive your childhood on the go. Unless your lunchtimes consisted of you pretending to be a Thundercat or Power Ranger or something. That’s not in here."

EA Playground review at Gamespot.

"Picture a playground you enjoyed going to when you were a kid. Maybe it was at your school, a local park, or even in a friend's spacious backyard. It featured a jungle gym, or some big ol' structure with slides attached, or some such variation. You ran around on the gravel, wood chips, grass, or dirt, and bounced balls off of hard surfaces, both horizontal and vertical. It was a big place where you could just as easily play sports as hunt bugs, and the possibilities for fun were as limitless as your imagination. Now, put that image aside because we're going to talk about EA Playground, which is the antithesis of that happy memory. Instead, it's a dull, uninspired collection of simplistic minigames played on a tiny screen, and it would be hard to recommend even on a rainy day."

EA Playground review at IGN.

"The Wii version of EA Playground clearly went after the younger Wii Sports crowd ready for a few new waggle-and-twist challenges using the Wii remote. The Nintendo DS version of EA Playground, on the other hand, is EA saying "we haven't forgotten about you handheld owners either!" Even though neither game will set the world alight with awesomeness or creativity, the Nintendo DS version appears to have ended up the better of the two. It's really just a collection of younger-skewing playground games in touch-screen format, linked together with a simplistic "exploration" element so there's nothing truly special about it. It's simply a solid game that's fun for the kids."

"EA Playground for the DS follows the general theme of the Wii game. Players compete in nine games to become the king of the schoolyard. While up to four players can battle on a local network, every competitor is forced to buy a copy of the game. I recently sampled all of the activities; a few stood out, but I anticipate that playing them mostly against AI opponents would grow boring over time."

"As EA Canada applies the finishing touches to the Wii version of EA Playground, the team is also hard at work bringing an original version of the game to the Nintendo DS as well. Yes, it's a younger skewing collection of schoolyard games, but hey…even though we consider us more "hardcore" gamers, we had a bit of fun getting more hands-on play with the DS product at Electronic Arts' press event."

"For certified gaming fanatics, the Leipzig Games Convention felt a bit like an enormous playground (although we were there to work, honest). In the EA booth, however, things took an interesting twist as we found ourselves looming over a playground of a much smaller sort in the form of EA Playground on DS."
