Gameplay
The first hour of Totally Spies! Totally Party has enough motion to hold a young fan’s attention. You move through a chapter on a game board, aiming to drain an opponent’s energy while spaces send you toward bases, bonus gadgets, and mini-games. It is a straightforward setup, but the constant switch from board movement to a short challenge gives the game a lively, TV-game-show rhythm.
The 25 mini-games do the heavy lifting. One moment you are trying to land on a skyscraper roof; another has you avoiding lasers, escaping fans, defending a boutique, eating sushi against the clock, or taking part in a catwalk appearance. That scattershot selection suits the license: Sam, Alex, and Clover get to be spies, students, and fashion-conscious heroines in rapid succession. Not every activity will land equally well, but they are brief enough that a weaker one does not dominate the session.
Story mode runs for ten chapters, and each completed chapter brings an extra ability. Extra outfits also reward special achievements, giving dedicated younger players a reason to replay and poke at the game’s challenges. Winning mini-games unlocks them for arcade mode, which is the smart place to return when you want a specific challenge rather than another full chapter.
Multiplayer is the feature that makes the format more convincing. With up to three people playing, the quick-event structure becomes easier to enjoy as friendly competition. Solo play can feel like a long chain of small diversions tied to a light board duel; with friends or siblings, the same unpredictability becomes the point. It is a better fit for short shared sessions than for someone looking for a deep action game.

Graphics
The game draws directly from the Totally Spies! cartoon setup, centering Sam, Alex, and Clover as teenage recruits carrying out Jerry’s missions. Its board-based duels and varied arcade scenarios move between locations such as skyscraper rooftops, boutiques, and alien encounters, matching the series’ broad, playful spy-cartoon territory.

Story
This is an adaptation tied directly to the television cartoon’s events, rather than a detached party-game premise. Sam, Alex, and Clover have been brought into American Special Services, and Jerry sends them out on assignments. That gives the ten chapters a basic throughline: complete the mission, face the chapter’s enemy, and take down that enemy’s energy.
Do not come expecting a densely written spy adventure. The story mainly connects the competitions and keeps the three heroines moving from one assignment to the next. For younger viewers already attached to the show, that familiarity matters more than narrative depth; they get to spend time with the core trio in a structure that feels built around their world.
The game’s strongest storytelling choice is simply its variety of spy-adjacent situations. Gadgets, enemies, rooftop landings, aliens, and fashion-centered challenges all sit together because that is the tone Totally Spies! trades in. If you know the cartoon, the mix should feel natural. If you do not, the plot is unlikely to be the reason you stay.
Overall Experience
Totally Spies! Totally Party is a modest licensed game that understands its likely audience. It keeps things accessible, leans on lots of short activities, and gives fans recognizable heroines and Jerry-led missions. The board duel framing stops the mini-games from feeling completely random, even if it does not make the campaign especially substantial.
The payoff depends heavily on who is holding the controller. A child who likes Totally Spies! can enjoy unlocking arcade challenges, abilities, and outfits, while three-player sessions give the package a real reason to come off the shelf. An older gamer, or anyone hoping for nuanced action, will probably exhaust its charms quickly.
At its best, it is a light after-school game: pick it up, laugh at a strange challenge, compete for a few rounds, and move on. The 5.9 score feels fair because the game has genuine variety and an appropriate use of the license, but little here rises beyond simple, youthful arcade entertainment.
