Well....how about this

User Rating: 7 | Mario Party 8 WII
The good:
-wiimote controls are good
-good selections of playable characters
-Candy item's are useful at times

The Bad:
-winning figures is pointless
-the cool sound effects and feel is threw out the window of this game
-most boards don't have the old Mario party fell
-the game can get easy once you're use to it
-Gloomy Visuals

I rented this game at movie gallery and I ought it be like the older one's (get the star on a spot for 20 coins) but unfortunately only one board has that (dk's jungle) and all the other have a new way that isn't amazing, it's disappointing.

It has some neat new features like the candy power's that hit's a player instantly (but no pad items which sucks) and the story mode for whatever it's called (i forget). But some are pointless and boring like the figures which they do nothing at all, they just sit there and you can buy mini games you haven't played, like what's the point of that?! you can play them all on the main game for FREE!

The graphics aren't good as they should he because the characters look undetailed and they look like a gamecube game and they don't look even inpressive as a gamegube game ether.

And the sound will disappoint you because they took all the awesome sound effects and music and throw them out the window and throw a nuclear bomb of top of that and put in lame sound effects and music feel.

The mini games are great to like shake it is really fun! (i kept on playing it over and over) but the bad thing is it's WAY TOO EASY, and at the end of the story mode you fight bowser which is fun and challenging but if you die you can continue where you left off (WAY TOO EASY!!)and fruit picker is just GARBAGE!! you have to pick 1 or more fruit and it's frustrating so I wrote them down and if you pause or hit the home button the fruit is covered, so you have to hit it constantly until you get it.

So I said enough today and I was disappointed when I played it but the reason I gave it a 7 out of 10 because it has some good parts on it but it not a good idea for a party or something but for a sleepover game or home game with a brother or sister or guardian or parent,it a good idea, but I don't think you should buy it it's only worth a rent, not a buy.
This is my review
