User Rating: 2.5 | Mario Party 8 WII

This game is not worthy of the series. Graphics (5/10)
Reasonably OK.

Gameplay (1/10)
The minigames aren't responsive enough and story mode gets my nerves.

Sound (3/10)
It is nothing like the ones before MP5.

Replay Value (3/10)
Only is fun with friends but still sucks because the game turns at such random times!

Online Ability (0/10)
N/A.

Overall (12/50)
It comes to a 2.5.

Nintendo really has went downhill with this series since Mario Party 6. The first 5 were reasonably fun but 7 and 8 really sucked. The main problem are broken controls. This game had a couple cool minigames but it just needed help. Sorry Nintendo, but you let me down. This game series was always for kids but soon it will be too hard for kids. I just think this series needs to end or at least be revamped to be basic like the first 5 games. Hudson Soft is the problem, their games have been horrid lately.
