The sixth installment is as bland as you could get in multiplayer "fun."

It starts to concern me when it will all just stop. They're already on their eighth sequel and they continue to plummet from the second one on.

And so, we dive into the colorful but bland world of Mario Party 6, the dazzling 6th sequel to the horrifyingly continuous series. New mini-games and an even more tedious single-player is what this game offers from the last. Oh, and a crappy microphone. As if that lame idea could save this series from its long-awaited demise.

Their attempt to mix things up with a microphone falls flat, I'm afraid. Sometimes the voice recognition is bad in a noisy area, causing you to lose on something requiring the microphone. Thank goodness they have the totally separate microphone mode to experiment on and not the normal game.

The normal game is exactly the same as in MP5, but theres day and night. Wow. Amazing. Obviously, there's bonuses for each one, but to be totally honest, it's all been done before.

After 30 minutes of play, I decided this was it. They kept getting worse, so why am I continuously buying them? This is where the series ended for me, and luckily, I have not made the mistake of buying any further sequels.

Unless you have loved Mario Party since the beginning, you shouldn't get this game. This time around, it's nowhere different from a normal board game.
