its hard not to love this game
User Rating: 8.8 | Mario Party 8 WII
don't get me wrong, its not a great video game. this game just screams fun. if you have a wii and you have at least one friend that likes to have fun do your self a favor a go get this game. you and your friends play on a virtual board game to collect stars, the player with the most stars wins. sounds easy, thats because it is but there is much more than that that goes into the game. there of course the fan favorites of the series, the mini games. since this is the first mario party to come out for the wii and its new controller scheme you can just imagine the possibilities and the thing is they deliver, with some very fun and innovative games. also the boards you play have there own unique spaces and layout to give each player fits and advantages to star glory and bragging right over their friends. i personally would not consider this a video game but i would consider it a very smart purchase. if you have kids they can pick up a controller and have a great time. if you have a wife or girlfriend who doesn't play games, if you buy it they will play(trust me dude i know from experience). also its a great game for a couple of guys with alcohol(or anything else) and nothing to do.
