Customer Reviews B. Deans Said: Wii wonders ( Nov. 5th 2009 )Here it is finally! A mario party on the new wii platform. This game is sure to not dissapoint. Its classic mario party with a new theme, controls, and characters. Gameplay Its mario party! You hit dice and move along a gameboard like candyland. There are blue, red, yellow, and green squares along your path. If you land on a blue square you get 3 coins if you land on a red square you loose 3 coins. Yellow gives you minigames that allow you to gain or take coins from people. The game has power ups and downs that allow you to wreck havoc on your opponents. You can play for a certain set of turns like 10 or more turns. After each turn there is a minigame to play with a friend or cpu that if you win will reward you coins. The object of the game is to find and obtain yellow stars. Each map has different ways to get stars some will require you to simply make it to the star first while others will require you to pay a certain number of coins for a star. After your turns are up, teh team with the most stars wins. 5/5 Controls It's very simple and uses the wii to the best of its ability. To hit the dice you simply move the wii remote up in a tapping motion. To throw darts you would use the wii remote as if you were throwing a real dart. All the minigames require you to tilt or move the remote a certain way to move your character or item. This allows you to bond more with the game and it adds more fun and value to your wins. 5/5 Graphics The graphics are well done for a mario game. The maps are beautiful especially the beach and monopoly themed maps. You will have a lot of fun playing through all the maps and themes. 5/5 Characters There are a lot of different characters to play with. Some have to be unlocked but they are really fun to play with. Each character has a personality and talks a bit. If they loose coins they sigh or say no, if they gain coins they say yes or way to go. If during gameplay you move the wii remote in any dirrection your characters will make random noise as to try to pep you up. Its really fun and really well done. 5/5 Maps My only issue so far with the maps are that there arnt enough. I believe there are only 6 maps maybe 7. The maps are fun to play yes but i would have expected more maps to play maybe at least 10. Unfortunatly this is where the game falls flat. After awhile you just dont want to play the same maps again and again. 2/5 All and all this is a great game that i would recommend for adults and children alike. It is great fun for the family or friends and allows people to just break away and have a good time.Christine Gettis Said: My hole family loves this game ( Oct. 20th 2009 )My 4 yr old plays it more than anyone. i have to wait til she goes to bed if I want a turn!CPU12 Said: Mario Party Falls to the Depths ( Oct. 19th 2009 )Mario Party, a video game that plays board-game style inside a video game with Mario characters, has been a great franchise that has brought happiness to many gamers and non-gamers alike, lots of profit to Nintendo, lots of innovation, and, now, lots of disappointment. Mario Party used to keep me and my friends and my family playing for hours on end and have lots of fun trying to beat each other, stay ahead, and beat each other to a pulp in scores and winning by longshots in mini-games. Now, there's almost no innovation. We've seen it all before. Sure, some of the mini-games (which is the majority of the game) are new, but no stunning new ideas. The controls on some of the games are funky, in particular "Flip the Chimp". How anyone plays this game, we have no idea. The idea of the game is have your robotic monkey climb a pole, and flip him from left to right to avoid having his head hit by coconuts by swinging your wii remote from side to side. Plain and simple, it DOESN'T WORK. Also, rowing a boat to get to the finish line first. Just as it sounds, you row with your Wii Remote. Plain and simple, it DOESN'T WORK. Even the graphics don't present anything very good for the Wii. A mediocre game. This one kept my family playing for only a few days. If you want Mario Party, and you've never played before, this one's a good place to start. Then work backwards towards the better games.Charles Mcmillan Said: Great Game, Great Seller ( Oct. 19th 2009 )We use the Mario Party games on our Family game night and they are a big hit. Anyone looking for a head to head competition in a safe environment should try this game.J. Chung Said: The apple has fallen very far from the tree ( Oct. 18th 2009 )I played this last night with a friend, and I went in with very high expectations based upon my previous experience with Mario Party 6 (which I consider the gold standard). What a disappointment. My friend hasn't played the Mario Party series before so I was embarrassed after we finished a 10-round match, having spoken so highly of the game. It was probably my mistake to assume that MP 8 would be a worthy follow-up to its predecessors. My thoughts, in bullet point form: - The emcee is no longer the sun/moon character but this bizarro hat and duck (?) combo. Both of them have eyes and mouths and the two of them trade off when talking to the player. I don't understand why the developer felt the need to insert this annoying new character--it's not even drawn to look like a cute or clever Nintendo creation, just some mash-up of weird parts. - The games are not creative or whimsical at all. There's one where you drive go-karts around to pop balloons; a 1v3 minigame where you are seated in weird bird-shaped planes and you try to avoid having your 2 ballons from getting shot; a game where you just shake your controller as hard as possible to flag down a ship to rescue you from a deserted island. When you're playing with a group of people, none of the minigames makes you and your friends want to shout in excitement or defeat after a close and challenging match--there's just no feeling of thrill or satisfaction. - To a previous reviewer's point, the game only makes incidental use of the wiimote and its full capabilities. The majority of the games have you holding the controller old-school style, where your left hand controls up-down-left-right and the right hand hits the 1 or 2 buttons. I hope the publisher comes up with some new ideas for the next installment in the series, where the wiimote's full range of motions is incorporated into the minigames. I probably would have given MP 8 a worse rating, if it weren't for the fact that I bought it used on Amazon for $[...], including shipping. For those considering a purchase, I recommend that you also buy it used.« Back Nintendo Wii Video Game Mario Party 8 Kids Gift!
