Electronic Arts forthcoming Wii and DS title is evidently hoping to cash in on the success and popularity of bundled Wii game Wii Sports, supplying family friendly sports with a distinctly "playground" flavour, and fun cartoony graphics.




The game features both a "rich" single player mode, in which new levels can be unlocked, and basic RPG exploration sampled, and of course multi-player sports action. EA write of their offering:

"EA Playground transports you to your fantasy playground, packed with interesting characters, over-the top gameplay, and a ton of collectables. Kids can bring the excitement of the playground home, and parents or even grandparents can re-experience their childhood thrills"

Games include dodgeball, volleyball, tetherball, RC car racing, and "spit ball", whatever that might be. Here's a trailer from EA:

This could be a nice addition to the family Wii line-up, and one to roll out when everyone is tired of Wii Sports (if that's possible).
