While this game may LOOK fun, looks aren't everything...

User Rating: 4 | Mario Party 8 WII
I remember playing Mario Party 6 at Walmart when I was younger. It was so much fun. Later, in 2008, before I got this game and sold it, I got this, hoping that it'd be a fun game to have at parties. Oddly enough, it turned out boring, shallow, and had unbalanced difficulty.
The game has a high amount of minigames, which I think was pretty cool. But only few of them were fun. The rest were sadly boring.
The controls weren't bad, and they worked. Sometimes they could be akward, but they still worked. The game reads your motions perfectly.
The many minigames placed into this game, though, were sadly boring and uncreative. In fact, one of the games only has you shaking a soda until it bursts. Yep, that's how uncreative this game was. Another has you racing through a platform-filled staduim, with bullet bills around. But that game was the same every single time. Even the bullet bills would pop out of the same exact place they popped out of last time.
This game is very predictable, and has very annoying computer AI. One second the computers would be hard, the next they' be pathetic. So it really doesn't matter what difficulty you'd set them on.
Now, the game has amazing graphics and plenty of nice enviornments to TRY and keep the game exciting, but unfortunatly, it didn't work.
What's even worse about this game is that when you star out in the game, all the minigames are locked. That's right. ALL of them. So that means you're gonna be forced to play the awful, unfair, and not enjoyable story mode, which puts you on a rigged gameboard. So that the computers get everything good, and you, well, get everything bad.
So unlocking all the minigames isn't really worth your time.
Heck, this game isn't worth your time OR money. 50$ for a boring party game? Yeah right. Save yourself money, and buy Rayman Raving Rabbids 2. Or, if you want a party game worth 50$, then buy Raving Rabbids Travel in time.
