I have bought Mario Part 3,6 and now 8 and I feel 8 is the best one of those three. The Wii remote really is well used in this game. Some of the games can be quite difficult though. At points during party mode the computer would waste me and all the other players quite easily, not even playing on hard. The controls for the most part are very responsive and quite enjoyable even with the odd impossible game. The graphics are nothing to write home about and definatly look like something the N64 could handle. But who really buys Mario Party for it's graphics? You buy it for the best party game on the market to enjoy with family and friends and Mario Party 8 does not disapoint. They have added quite a few new features to this edition, the boards probably being the largest. Each board has a diffrent style no board runs on the same principles. For example they have a board where the objective is to buy hotels and get stars by making them 1,2, and 3 star hotels. The catch is other people can buy your hotel so you have to invest tons of money so your opponents can't afford to do so. Other then the boards some new characters have been added mainly Hammer Bro and Bloop who need to be unlocked by beating 1 player mode. They also added a few mini games such a bowling that are not playable in party mode but you can use Mii's kind of cool but far from as good as Wii Sports. So if you need a good multiplayer game for Wii pick this up.
