I got this game a few weeks ago. Played it once, never again.
Graphics worse than the Gamecube version; pixellated rubbish. Forgettable music and SFX. I only played one board and it was rubbish. Computer cheated as usual. No bonus star for coins won in the minigames. WHAT?? They've still got the retarded "Happening Star" for landing on green spaces but nothing for winning absolutely every mini-game but getting screwed over so I never get to the star space in time? Bollocks. And the minigames themselves, yes, just tacked on. I enjoyed Wario Ware a lot more than this, and that game pretty much blew too. Starting to wonder why I even bought this Wii. |

I think people should boycott the Wii
I was in my local Gamestation at the weekend, 3 people in the Q were trading in their Wii |

Seemed ok to me. Its just marty party but on the wii - but what are people expecting. If they changed it loads people would moan 'Its not the same - they broke it'
Its exactly what it says on the tin. I would agree about the minigames bieng a bit similar to other Wii ones - but IMHO the problem there lies in the fact that most all Wii games are minigame collections ! Im totally underwhelmed with the Wii - Bring on the good games you nintendo bastards ! |

Mario Party Developer Conference:
Developer 1: So um..we're on number 8 now? Developer 2: Yup. Developer 3: Wow, we're pretty good at this. Developer 1: Yeah, so for this one shall we just copy some, but not all of our other ideas, most of which are admittedly pretty bad, and then tack on some wii controls? Developer 2: Good idea. Developer 3: Another sandwich? |

Mario Party (the first one) was fun for precisely one drunken play through with three friends, after which it completely lost its appeal. Sober and in single player it was dreadfully tedious and even playing it (drunk) for the second time with the same group of people, everyone in the room agreed Mario Kart 64 or Goldeneye should go on instead after 20 minutes.
I haven't seen anything in Parties 2-8 that has made me change my opinion of this series. Nintendo really should put it out of its misery... but presumably it's still making them a tidy bundle, right? |

The only MParty game I played was no.5 (i think - the one before the one with the microphone add-on) and I thought it was ok - if played with friends. The single player was boring as hell - as it should be - who the hell parties on their own?!!!
Me and my friends enjoyed it a lot. Will have to rent out this one - a fair few reviews have said its crap, but then a fair few have said its ok too. |

If you can't enjoy yourself playing this with a couple friends, it's not the game's fault. It's more engaging and varied than any physical board game, so if you have the social skills to enjoy something like monopoly, this will be a blast.
Granted, there is a learning curve and a deliberate pace, but that's why you have friends to fill in the gaps! |
