Great multiplayer, ok single player
User Rating: 8.5 | Mario Party 8 WII
The mutiplayer on this game is probably one of the best around when it comes to overall fun with friends or family. I love how there are tons of minigames to play when it comes to using the wii remote. People who love wii sports will master the sporting minigames on here such as golf, tennis, bowling, and many others. However, on the flip side, the single player doesent have much to offer. All you really can do for that is play 6 boards and see what you have to do for that board. I really wish they wouldve made it so its like the other mario partys where their are bigger boards and more things to do, but i guess that wasnt the plan. Overall the gameplay is excellent. Graphics are ok, nothing new than last year. Sound is pretty good especially in the beginning where they have that carnival music, which puts it just right for the sound just like being in a regular carnival. The game is well worth the money if your looking for something active to do while holding the wii remote. So my final word is this: If you have friends or family that want to play something active with you, or just want to have fun playing, get this game. If you have one remote or just dont have people to play this game with, up to you, but it would probably be best for you to rent the game in that situation.
