It's party time... on the DS

User Rating: 10 | Mario Party DS DS

Although I don't own all of them, I have played every console Mario Party game. They are all extremely fun to play. This one, I believe, is probably one of the series' most fun games. For one thing, the fact that this is on a handheld system is great because you take it everywhere and that is obviously something missing from the other games.

This MP game revolves around the cast of characters (8 in all; Mario, Luigi, Peach, Daisy, Waluigi, DK, Wario, and Yoshi) getting an invitation from Bowser to a 'buffet'. However, they get captured and shrunk to a small size as Bowser steals the party's Sky Crystals, which came to them one night when they fell down to Earth. Now as tiny as ants, the group now heads out to defeat Bowser yet again...

There's nothing really to complain about this game. It's what a Mario Party game should be... a fun multiplayer game with good gameplay and minigames. The game looks good fitting on a DS, and I admit some of the games are a bit confusing to work out, but they use all of the DS' features, like the stylus and the microphone.

I think my only complaint is that I'm stuck wondering about the points you collect during the game. I have no idea what you're supposed to do with them. Someone tell me what they do please.

But, this is a MP game and it is fun.

    The Nintendo 64 is where the Mario Party series started. It went from #1 - 3 and they were all great. Each had their own flaws, but they were fun to play. After that the series went really downhill. Mario Parties 4-8 (in... Read Full Review
