Party Game?

Pros Cons
Tight controls Not enough content
Fantastic multiplayer Repetitive gameplay
Amazing visuals Doesn't live up to expectations

This game was fun for quite some time. If you have no friends to play this with, this game will get boring pretty quickly. The graphics are better than all the other versions. The gameplay hasn't changed at all, you roll a die and move on a oversized game board, sometimes you can use power ups and get an extra dice, make the dice move slower, or maybe attack another player. The turns I personally think are worse than before, they take to long to go, I wish you could just skip there turns. The Minigames are more fun, some with motion controls some with not. The Veridict: If you have some friends tgis will probably be a very fun rewarding experience, but if your a fag and have absolutly no friends this game will bite.

Lets Have a Party, Mario Party!

Pros Cons
Fantastic multiplayer Doesn't live up to expectations
Loads of content Repetitive gameplay
  It's boooring

I thought this game was really fun.It was awesome with my friends. But soon after you have beaten story mode (Which is really long but easy) the taste goes away and you get bored. After I beat story mode I only played it with friends that came over. But I do think it's something to add a little party in your library of games.

Loads of room for improvement!

A giant let down for me. I hoped to see more of the wii controls implemented. Unfortunately the game only has a few mini games that can use the wii remote. I hope the next version comes out better.

BAD

Pros Cons
Tight controls Doesn't live up to expectations

I was VERY VERY VERY VERY dissapointed in this game. It is exactly like the last 7. It only has one regular level, only 2 new characters, and way too easy. It uses the wii mote very well though.

Mario Party 8

After you beat the game, theres not much you can do except, beat the game again or play mini-games you've already unlocked. It's no fun after you beat it, and i'm not that big of a fan of Mario Party anyways. Actually, you have to beat it twice! The first time you beat it you unlock one of the people that you coulden't use. To unlock the other one, you have to beat the game using the guy you just unlocked. For me, i'm a little addicted to making that train/parade thing. I've almost bought everything you can by playing minigames to get the cards (money) you need to buy the stuff.

Mario Party 8

This would be really fun in a group or a party. Not good for playing by yourself. Most of the mini games are pretty good but half the time your waiting for people to take their turns and its realy annoying having to unlock all the games but in the end its pretty good. Its like going to the carnival. I think if you really want it GET IT but if you don't well dont bother wasting the money.

Great With Friends!

As a solo game, the game is par. However, when you have other people to play, this game is thoroughly enjoyable and a must own for family and friends. The mini games are excellent and the game board itself is twisted and fun with friends.

A fun family game for the Wii

Like every mario party, this one is very good. For awhile when they kept making mario parties, everyone was bored with them...but this mario party is much more fun than the 6th or 7th. The graphics are as you'd guess every mario party game would be. The graphics live up to the Wii. The gameplay is fun. Unlockable characters like Blooper, buy stuff from the bazaar, and use candies which are the new items. There is nothing to say about the sound. It's like every mario party game if you have played any other ones. The control for the Wii makes the gameplay suprisingly better. EX: to hit a dice block, flick the wiimote up like your jumping. Overall, the game is a lot better with friends. Playing by yourself is fun, but can be pretentous. Buy only if your into mario party games or if you have friends to play with you.
