Im glad WiiMan liked Mario Party
. MArio Party the marmite of nintendos franchise.
For years mario Party being the fifa of the nintendo market, releases another version every 5 weeks, until your more broke than ever.
So now we are up 8.
Whats the 8th version got that the other ones do not?
Hmmm.
Not much in hoensty.
The game this time is set ina carnival style, which allows you to play the mini games directly , and enter the board game directly.
the games are fun, but the board game itself, I cant explain it.. lets go with the phrase..if it aint broke..
sure the format aint broke..but they do not seem to have fixed it..or even tweaked it.
Sure I might seem to be a bot harsh there, the looks are slightly different, but in retrospect what else is there? I thought mario party on gc was better.
The thing that annoys me most about mario party (even though I keep buying the wretched title) the board game mode, is so s..l...o....w
It seems to take forever.
I would like to skip the introductions, have faster board movement, heck broadband has made me impatient!
We all love Mario , thats a given, however I think its time Mario Party moved on a bit, adopted the melee aproach as in who you can play as.
Sure the whole cast of mario is here, but who really wants to play as ghost or skeleton turtle? I would rather have link.. kid icarus.. or Samus.
As much as I love mario mario, I feel a bit diluted of my love after playing such a pro mario game, lets get more nintendo charchters in the titles for a bit of diversity.
If you have played mario party before, thats what your getting mario party from before.
If you havent played it... its difficult to say, but I would say rent first.
Wario Ware is better, and I would say probably raving rabbits (which I had on xbox and was more engaged with)
anyway.
gameplay: 6/10
sound: 6/10
graphics 4/10 (I do not think they are great)
lastability 5.5/10 ( a great mulitplayer game, but takes too long)
Linear Mode
