I've finally gotten around to playing Mario Party 8. And to be honest with ya it's not something that I would even consider spending my 50$ on. The mini games are fair, but most of them are extremely basic. A lot of them deal with shaking a controller up and down as fast as you can. I mean wow not really something I'd wanna do for mini games. At least in some previous Mario Parties we saw some mini games that actually took skill.

Now, here's what was really killing me in Mario Party 8. This game is almost entirely up to chance. I was playing with someone who has a lot less skill than I do. (The only reason I said this is because I probably won 20/25 mini games.) And lost badly to this person. The reason is because of chance. It's all chance. I mean if you're into that kinda thing then this game is for you, but if you're not then you're gonna hate it. The bonus stars completely kill the game. At the end of the game players got bonus stars for collecting candy, shopping, and landing on RED spaces. Can you believe that? RED spaces. C'mon Nintendo, what happend to the Coin Star, the Mini game star, and the Happening space star?

The bottom line is: This game deserves to flop and Nintendo should kill the series.
