Mario Party 8 offers a huge collection of minigames, but the variety is just not big enough.
The Good:
-A great deal of different minigames to play
-Pretty easy to learn the controls
-Multiplayer and single player modes
-Smooth graphics and great music
The Bad:
-The minigames aren't that varied, and some categories will just be a random choice between 3 minigames that are all pretty much the same
-You're almost 100% likely to win
Overall, Mario Party 8 offers a huge collection of minigames, but the variety is just not big enough. If you are a fan of Mario's little characters, then you may find this game quite enjoyable, and it's great for parties.
Overall, 6.5/10
