Oh well, I never paid attention to Mario Party reviews before. Fun is fun.Â

same here. Chances are he reviewed it alone, and that is not how a Mario Party game is meant to be played. Also, at the very end, he says that people who enjoyed Mario Party 7 will enjoy this game; I thought MP7 was awesome! I think all the Mario Partys are awesome! So much fun with a huge group of peoplez
Damn, now I don't know if I should buy it or nottoken08

My advice is don't listen to reviews for anything that you KNOW will be fun. Mario Party WILL be fun, just get a buncha people together and you are garanteed to have a great time.  I can't wait to get this, and then Boogie when that comes out; Wii = ultimate party console! And the ultimate non-party console as well XD
I saw it coming. Most minigames I've seen in the videos lack originality. It's some kind of trend at Nintendo. They do the basic first, then they go deep in the concept. Like Excite Truck fr example. The first did have Wiimote racing - but everyone expected online, more modes and content in general.
Heh... IGN destroyed that game. Oh well... I wasn't planning on buying it anyways... I don't have enough people around all the time to make it worth the purchase.
Anyone that has a lot of people come over though, Mario Party games are always great fun - reviews always shoot them down for some reason.
i haven't played a mario party game sense n64, i thought they all were good and i looked at them and most of them got bad ratings :P o well what ever the ppl want :/
Same here, honestly I think Gamespot and more on the subject IGN have been really, how can I say, unforgiving on the Wii game reviews. I understand some of the child based games and weaker titles have been pretty bad. The entire Mario Party series has been amazing. Like you say, you get a group of friends over....it's not a party without Mario Party. They have done an uncanny job of creating mini games, I don't know about the rest of you, but after the 2nd Mario Party i would of given up on trying to come up with new ones, no matter how stupid they got.
and a 6.5 on GS. i was planning on getting it at a discounted price, and i still will. all that they said doesnt turn me away from this game, i expected the boards and that theyre unfair at times, but thats mario party and that is what makes you and your friends have fun. the only thing i didnt like was that they said there are less minigames than on the GC for MP7, there is no excuse for that
The review seemed mainly built upon the fact that they've played every Mario Party out there since day 1. What about a guy like me who's never really sat down and played any? I hate renting games because it's so expensive, but it looks like that's what this game should be: a rental. To actually go out and spend $60 on it doesn't sound like too wise a decision.
Besides, I've had enough mini-games for awhile. Bring on the real games, it's time.
meh still renting it. i wasnt gonna buy it anyway. ill consider buying a mario party for wii that has online. im surpirsed the about the graphics seeing as ho in a preview ign stated it looked a good bit better than the gc ones

For some reason I never even thought about the lack of online. But you're right. Mario Party games should have this feature by now. This pretty much solidifies my notion not to buy it. I'm not going to support this type of rehash.
And yeah, it's weird about the graphics. They went from saying how god it was looking to calling it unimpressive even by GC standards. Strange.
I couldn't care less about the reviews for this game, good or bad. Mario Party is one my favorite franchises because it's one of the few that I can really enjoy with my non-gamer husband. I love the board game design, it's what puts it above other mini-game compilations imo. Gamespot's criticsm of its reliance on chance makes no sense to me. That's how board games work. Plus, there are plenty of other modes that aren't as reliant on chance. I bought the game today and after playing it for a few hours I'm very impressed. It may repeat the formula but that's how you know you're in for a good time.
I don't know how some of you can keep buying this stuff. Isn't one mini-game based... game enough? Especially when they apparently haven't done anything with the series. All I have that's mini-game based is Rayman and that's the last one of the genre I'll get.

Exactly! Tendo puts out a good game, and they all buy it. Tendo puts out some trash and they all buy it...c'mon people, don't you know that buying a crap game only encourages them to make sub-par titles? Have some self-esteem!
I'm really on the line about this. I just got my Wii and i already beat paper mario and zelda on my friends wii so its not like i should go get those games. Any suggestions? I'm really turned off by the nonwidescreen support too.

The irony is, that if Mario Party was called Halo Party or Gears of War party and was exactly the same, except for different skins and models, it would've probably got a better score.
