Um..Years ahead of other games?

The Mario party games are in need of desperate innovation. Maybe the reviewers just get tired of playing relatively the same game 8 times now?

IMO even the ad looked bad,you know you got a stinker when even the ad looks bad.Also take a look at the minigames,i remember Mario party 6 looking a lot better.Hater3000

I think my friend is getting this for my birthday. I love Mario Party.Grodus5

I like having chance in games, it's when it's 100% chance, 0% skill which pisses me off. Like the rope game in Mario Party 6. I can't tell you how many games I've lost because of that.CJL13

I laughed at your second point. Keep trying:)GazzaB

WTF @ graphics and competitive play.

I havn't looked at the game nonetheless played it yet, so I don't have a right to pass judgement on it. But a lot of that sounds like escuses. 

Look, to figure out the proper score for a game on gs, just subtract .2 for xbox 360 games, add .3 for ps3 games, and subtract 10000 for wii games.

I love saying stuff just to see what happens.

36 chambers of cuteness?

A redo of the review would be far too kind. Whoever wrote it needs to simply quit their job since they obviously have no idea what they are talking about. Mario Party 8 is one of the greatest games ever created. The amount of skill required is amazing and the game has practically unlimited replay value. I sold my PS2 so I could quickly go out and buy MP8 and i havent been disappointed so farmadmaltese

Good riddance to that PS2. Worst console I ever owned. My grandmother on her deathbed bought it for me, and the damn thing gave me disc read errors, the day after the warranty was up. Sony hates its customers. My Gamecube gave me much more joy anyways...I got to play so many versions of Mario Party :)

Why does this guy have like 5 accounts..Haziqonfire

Let me guess... you just played it by yourself? Go play it with 3 other people before passing judgement on this game. 

 lmao, who would have 3 accounts...one with 1,000 posts, another with 20K, and another with 60K :lol: I mean, srsly.

I played with three people yesterday, after I bought the game and it was such an experience. I let my grandma play, along with my baby brother (who's 6, mind you), myself, and my aneroxic cousin, who's 14. I'm 29, and the feeling of having so many people play on the Wii feels surreal. It's like, I felt the words of Reggie when I was playing, and completely understood the manifest destiny of Nintendo. It was like a coming out party really...in the middle of getting mushrooms, and having Bowser kick my ass for stars, I really saw the light of what Miyamato is planning for the Wii. Such a surreal experience...if you haven't played with three people yet, from different time periods, you honestly haven't lived.

There are couple of X360 games that are widescreen only, They didnt loose points for not supporting 4:3.

Taking a break from playing been playing it for the last 3 hours with my family......It ton of fun but has far has the rating it was fair...The graphics are not all that, some games are luck but it still ton of fun.HarlockJC

Dude, in this day in age, who doesnt have a widescreen TV? Ive had widescreen TV's since the start of the millenium. Widescreen TV's are and have been the most dominant TV on the market for the past few years. 

This is next-gen no matter how last-gen Wii's hardware seems to be thus far. Thus the graphics are indefensible. Widescreen was supported back in the 90s by NiGHTS Into Dreams so not having widescreen support is indefensible.

The third point is the only one that is even close to defensible and I think that argument is flawed as well. 

No, a re-review is not due..get the **** over it, we all know Mario Party sucks, some people just didn't want to accept that so they made claims such as "Mario Party will be cool" or "It will be the best Mario Party ever" and the ocassional "I'm predicting mid-high A" or "I'm thinking high A-low AA".

I'll assume you never played the game.

I've played other Mario Party games and if it is just a revamp of all the older titles with some games making mediocre use of the Wii-mote then I can say that the score is entirely justified. Also, even the GBA can stretch the image on original GB and GBC games into its wider screen ratio.

quit beating around the bush. the graphics in the game are horrible. the pillarboxing is pathetic. however

the game is fun. its not much different than previous mario parties. the graphics may have been acceptable on the cube, but here, in 2007.  

fun game +

gamecube graphics -

gamecube gameplay -

it deserved what it got.
