GamePro- 4.5 out of 5- 90.0%
GameTrailers- 8.3 out of 10- 83.0%
They seemed to like it. I think we should wait for more sources.

the general concensus through posts throughout SW was looking forward to MP8 until reviews began trickling in.  Particularly in the "Wii Drought" threads that peeked up every now and then

That still isn't any proof of AA hype, so the game cannot be considered a flop no matter what it scores. There was never any official hype at any level. Just because you're looking forward to a game does not mean that you expect it to score high.

Who's reviewing it?

 

It would be funny if it was Jeff, considering the last On The Spot where he was soooo enthusiastic to play a Wii let alone MP8

Um... If Cows and lems try to declare ownage or FLOP when this game gets like 4 or 5 something, they have sunk to a new low.  There was no official "Mario Party 8 hype thread", and the only people who have really hyped this are a few nintendo fan boys here and there. 

SW has become flop happy.  I think we should try to reserve flop ownage for real flops and that were actually hyped.

Final Fantasy isn't the same series. They're different characters, plots and stories, and it's not the exact same game over and over again...like Mario Party.

Oh please the gameplay is exatly the same, and the storeis are the same at the roots, in fact go look at the sites that have the rules for every RPG game and you'll see they all follow the same basic story

Everyone knows that Mario Party is a series of mini games with different ways to go though them.

It sells OK, and is a nice game for younger kids in particular. I  plan on picking up because of my kids (they loved  3,5, and 7) and my wife and I will play it with them from time to time.

I am looking forward to MP3 a hell of alot more of course.

There are different battle systems thoughout the series. Not all FF games are turn based. And the stories are different from each other.

Normally I agree with your post's, but if you think that the story of FFXII is in the same root with VII, VIII, IX, X, and XI than really ... In that case Halo, Half life, Zelda, Mario all of those games story are in the same root .

dude this game never got hyped. the only reason it can be considered ownage against the sheep is if it gets below a 7, cause then it flat out sucks and thats another bad game on the wii library.

Why are people criticizng Mario Party 8? Nintendo is trying to tap into the mini-game genre that has since been largely ignored. There is an unsettling lack of mini-games out there, Nintendo is simply filling the vacuum of MINI-GAMES

I believe you're wrong. Well, as far as I know anyway, the score predictions ranged everywhere from below 6 to low AA. I think the consensus was that this could be the first A Mario Party game in a long time.
