POOR HISTORY,POOR CHARACTERS,POOR MAPS and POOR GAME.
The Mario party serie are all very nice but this Mario party 8 is easy,have small levels with a stupid places to fall and stayed idiot and confuse the objetive to win because you need get more stars than others but to get a star is diddicult but to fall in a lace to lose a star is very easy,stupid characters,graffics is not much good,have a confuse menu,they take out one important character too the donk kong now he is a helper character like toad in mario party 1,you can beat this game with 6 hours of game play and is very easy, the Mario Party 1,2,3,4,5 are amazing, 6 and 7 is so so but is 8 is the worst game from Mario Party serie.
but that guy with a strange hat is very strange and stupid this edition of Mario Party is for babys.
Now I'm waiting the Mario Party 9 to see if this game will be better and not a waste of time.
the only good thing is the minigames and the wii control to play them.
