After Wii Sports this is the best game for Wii yet!

User Rating: 9.5 | Mario Party 8 WII
December 2008, after Wii Sports this is still the best game for Wii yet! Add the Mario games Galaxy, Brawl and Kart and you got the only games worth mentioning for the Wii console, but in Wii Sports and Mario Party are the ones that lasts the longest. Unfortunately, the unfair bad reviews from Gamespot among others (from a stupid grown up point of view) have turned too many away, so Hudson apparently isn't going to do a Mario Party 9. Shame on you! However, if you have kids under 10 they will play this game for years. Mine still play it and have a lot of fun (..and I have too with them!) Buy it for your kids while you can still get a copy!

This game contains a lot of fun mini games which you play in turns after you have rolled the dice (shake the Wii remote) that position you on one of the 6 available boards - all with lots of rewards and penalties you get each turn. You have a lot of Mario characters to choose from which will be your player going for the stars and money in this battle with your opponent(s). The one or the one team with most stars is the ultimate winner. Pure and simple fun all the way and a great variety of games. You never get bored! Add fun graphics, lots of great sound effects (also shaking your Wii remote) and fun music scores and you have the PERFECT game for kids - especially playing together against or with the computer player. GO FOR IT! (...and Hudson! PLEASE do Mario Party 9!!!)
