Fun but lacking

For those who like the franchise, MP5 is is another solid title in the series. However, the game is lacking some of the elements that made Mario Party great in the first place. The "capsule" system that took the place of item shops is largely irrelevant and honestly makes me want to skip the item gathering process altogether. To put the point bluntly, I don't like spending 10 coins to booby trap a space that opponents may or may not land on. Further, the mini games are somewhat repetitive and lack the inventiveness of earlier titles. They're often little more than "A"-tappers that take place in different environments. All in all, a fun game but not the best in the series.

for a game that is just full of mini games that can be from luck all the way up to can you press a button faster than the other people, this is a good fun game with tons and tons of mini games and of course the board game and a battle cars game. this is a maybe to buy if you have a gcube but if you like mario and are into mario party then this is the game for you.
It's all about the mini-games.

I don't know why so many people diss this game. It's a good game. It has fun mini-games, and cool board maps with the exception of a couple. The Koopa Kid imposters suck, as does the capsule system, but other than that, it's a good game.
what a great game

when I plaeyed it at first time I hoped that I didn't waste my money on such bad game like it. But after 4-hours of playing, every thing changed & the game became the best & the most exciting game I had ever played spiecially with 4 players, you'll not stop playing for long time. the only bad thing it has is the mini games which depends on luck>But I don't think this will hurt my review mark :)
same old stuff..... boring

WOW i cant believe this game.The series start to suck in Mario Party 4 and i think this series cannot be worse.I was wrong.This game make me fall asleep.Recently i buy a gamecube with the legend of Zelda collector s edition(5.0,great games),then my friend buy Mario Party 5,he lend it to me,I start playing the story mode and there i fall asleep.70 new mini-games,wow,half suck and are stupid.New characters?Boo and Toad,wow.The music?the worse in the series.This series is like this because1)is the 5 game 2)all the games in the series are the same 3)we need new ideas.Plese nintendo,dont make another Mario Party,and start working on a new Mario for Gamecube.plese send me a feedback at abrahamelias@prmail.net and let me know what you think.
A big improvement from the 4th one.

first of all, the mini games are alot better then 4's, 4's mini games sucked, an so did the items on 4. now the items on 5 are now called capsules, an u can place a capsule anywhere on the game board you want, an the capsules don't leave unless you put another one in its place. The graphics are nice, the sound is kinda annoying, the controls are easy. the levels are very nice and inneractive an have alot of neat suprises in them. an theres more characters finally. but in my opinion thats enuff mario party games, 5 is more then enuff for a mario party. i think nintendo should start a new series.
