Better boards and some of the best minigames on the Wii (which is saying something)!
User Rating: 8.9 | Mario Party 8 WII
Some of the gaming community, mostly the more hardcore, have had a grudge against Mario Party since the original, because they can't stand losing unfairly. Since most reviewers are among this jaded, hardcore, sect take their reviews with a grain of salt, or more. But life is full of luck, or lack their of, deal with it... has anyone actually played a boardgame...ever? If you can tell me with a straight-face that you have ever won Monopoly (or any other game) without lady luck on your side, then I would love to hear that story. Meanwhile Mario Party IS a board game.
Personally I love the luck-aspect, it allows my girlfriend to actually compete. My only complaint of the series is that, well, there has been 8!!! But this is no obligatory sequel, its abrand new game with brand new gameplay:
Games are fresh (thanks to Wiimote) but nostalgic
Graphics are good, best of its type on the Wii
Sound delivers, but it is a boardgame
and most importantly the new conent is enough to keep pullingthis game off the shelf... unlike 2-7, or any other minigame collection on the Wii yet.
