The Mario Party series is an example of one of those game series that'll never die. Now the fine folks at Nintendo has decided to take it on the go for the second time. (The first time was Mario Party Advance, but lets forget about that monstosity.) Mario Party DS marks the first actual portable Mario Party game. It doesn't have any actual unlockables, but there's a few replay value. There's the story mode, where you go on a trek to get Bowser (how original) and to unshrink them. The Party mode is like the same as all the others. You also have your usual modes in a Mario Party game. The boards & minigames all share a common theme: they're regular objects, but they look supersized. The format hasn't changed since the first game, and it never will. That will get boring after awhile. Multiplayer is a blast to do & it'll involve only one game card out of the four of you. That's it. What were they thinking? It's a multiplayer series, Nintendo. You should've added multi-card support. Also, the MP points you score, are only for Single Player. This may sound like me bashing the game, but there are some good points of the game, too. The minigames are challenging & fun, espesually with more people. I also like how they use the three types of control, from the face buttons, the touch screen, & even the mic. Mario Party DS is a fun Party game on the go, & It can be used for time-killing. However, it can't always be your one game.
