New challenges and features make Mario Party 6 worth picking up

User Rating: 8.7 | Mario Party 6 GC
The Mario Party series has been going since 1998 with a new game every year since then. Mario Party 6 (2004) is an entry that changes a lot of things. The new day/night cycle is kinda neat and does make the game a bit more interesting, but it isn't a dramatic change that fans were looking for. The inclusion of the Game Cube mike, however was a fairly big change. The mike games are very simple and aren't much different from the regular mini-games, but they are different, and for a series that needs something new to keep it going, that's a good thing. The graphics and sound are slightly better, but they are improved from Mario Party 5. Fans of the series already have this game, cube owners who need a good party game have one right here. Party on, dudes!
