Reception
Pong Toss! Frat Party Games received substantially negative reception; it holds an aggregate score of 18/100 and 18.75% from Metacritic and GameRankings, respectively. 1UP.com's Andrew Hayward found the controls to be poorly designed and the graphics felt very dated, while IGN's Matt Casamassina found the game to be "shallow" and "pointless". GamesMaster's Matthew Castle felt that beer pong was a simple game and that the game was pointless as a result. He also criticized the controls and visuals. 1UP.com's Kyle Stallock found the notion of an Adults Only rating for Pong Toss! to be inappropriate when it was borne in mind that games such as Grand Theft Auto IV, Condemned 2, and World of Warcraft hold more lenient ratings, despite the fact that they allow players to consume alcohol. An editor for 1UP.com felt that the game loses its point due to the lack of reference to beer pong. Jaeger was not bothered by the negative reception from critics and gamers. He suggested that many of its critics had never played the game, and that because they are hardcore gamers, they are prejudiced. Jaeger stressed that it is intended for casual gamers such as those who enjoyed Wii Sports.
