I want to get this game and I have a couple of friends that I can play this game with me, but is it really that bad of a game. I don't usually look at reviews, but alot of reviewers are giving it bad reviews and im curious for people who played it with friends is it worth the buy?

If you have friends to play with then I would say so.
I say buy it its a hell of a lot more fun than people say. You can even make drinking games out of it if your in to that sort of thing. no online play? no problem. If you have real life friends that you can invite to play its a lot more fun than online in some ways sure online would be great but its not a nessessary fuction. If you dont like the reviews try gamerankings.com you will get a advrage opinion but other than that buy it it will make you happy in the end it changed me so why not you
my friend bought it and when we played it i wasnt really impressed. the minigames werent amazing and their use of the wii remote wasnt that impressive either. the game could have been done with a joystick just fine and no one could have told the difference.

They do use just the controller in some, but it wouldn't be all that smart to not use the Wii-mote's motion sensors at all. And I heard the controls worked fine. They look fine to me.

They're just fine. The only problem is they aren't very innovative, although it's definitely a plus. If you want the game just for the Wii Remote, buy a game like WarioWare: Smooth Moves, or Rayman Raving Rabbits. If you want it just for the party, buy Mario Party 4 or 5.
Its a Mario Party so its quite similar, but enough different to buy it. The monigames are fun and the boards are different from what you've saw. I had Mario Party 1-4-5-6-7 before this one and i played with the 2 others and i can say that Mario Party 8 is one of my favorite.
It's a whole lot of fun. Gamespot's reviewer counted off for the game being pretty much the same as other Mario Party games and also (ridiculously) that the game relies too much on chance and luck. All board games are like that, though, so it's not a valid argument against this type of game.
In response to the online play comments, I think this game would suck playing against random people from miles away. When you play with friends in the room and one of them gets lucky and steals all your coins, you can get angry and yell all in good fun. But over the internet, I don't think it would really be in good fun when you get screwed over by chance when it's people you don't know too well.

I 100% agree. The last mario party game I have was 5, and no matter who I played in that I always won it. I'd win almost all the mini games and then have atleast 4 more stars than anyone else. MP8 seems to equal out the chance and luck more, which is what I want. I want someone to be able to come from last place to first on the last turn. It just makes it more competitive, and with a group of friends, that means more fun.
