Well, Mario Party 2 is exactly as you'd expect -- more of the same. Whether that's a good or bad thing is up to you. With a whole slew of new mini-games, new theme worlds, bonuses and gameplay modes, this is certainly the Mario Party 2 have if you're new to the series. But if you already own the original, well, are new mini-games and different graphics for boards enough to warrant another $50? As far as we're concerned, only if you consider yourself a Mario Party fanatic.

Think Mario Party. Now introduce new themes. Welcome to Mario Party 2. Seriously, that sums up the game's visuals fairly accurately. Characters now wear costumes, there are a host of new board-game adventures with unique environments to stroll though, but the graphics engine is identical and the look is very, "Oh, a board-game. How nice."
