Mario Party 8 for Nintendo Wii

Pros: Flawless gaming, fun, replay value is high
Cons: Similar to what we've seen in the past, graphics haven't improved

I’ve been dreaming about you, drooling over you in every magazine I get my hands on that mentions you. Oh sweet Mario… Mario… I have been getting glimpses here and there about Mario Party 8 for the Nintendo Wii. When I first learned about ...

Pros: Fun, cute and did I mention fun?
Cons: Heckling voices!

When my kids got into Mario Party back on the Gamecube, I didn't understand what the big deal was about the game, I mean a bunch of mini games? Big deal right? Well, I have since changed my mind since we have the Wii and PS3 in the living room, ...

Pros: Quick to learn, easy to play, fun for all ages in groups.
Cons: Annoying sounds and chatty characters, can't skip through tedious intros.

I knew that purchasing a Wii would increase my popularity by several orders of magnitude, but what I failed to realize at first was that having the Wii is only half the equation.  The other key component is having awesome multiplayer games that ...

Pros: Good for kids, Pretty good multiplayer
Cons: Seen this game SEVEN TIMES BEFORE. getting a bit old dont you think? Computer sucks

Most of us enjoy parties, right? Whether you're talking about a fairy cakes and candles affair or the type that sees you swinging from a stranger's chandelier naked at three o'6clock in the morning, people like to have a good time. By now everyone should ...

Pros: a few good boards and a few good mini games
Cons: Hudson is running out of ideas, there are better Mario parties out there.

I rented Mario Party 8 a couple of days ago and I played through the single player, yes I know Mario Party 8 is a multiplayer game and I rented it at a bad time when I had no one around to play multiplayer but has I played through it I came to realize ...

Pros: Kids love it
Cons: Boring for adults

Usually my kids wake up on a Saturday morning and it's straight to the cartoons followed closely by, “What's for breakfast”. Not anymore! It's all about Mario Party 8. My husband keeps telling them to play Mario Party on the Game Cube, but ...

Pros: Fun minigames, a couple new modes, some interesting boards.
Cons: Not fast paced enough, not much has changed since the first.

I must admit, I've been out of the Mario Party loop for quite a while. Ever since the first one on the Nintendo 64, I have declined every invitation until now. Why? Because the little lady wanted it, and what she wants, she gets. So, like every party ...

Pros: Tons of minigames, hours of fun, fun for all ages.
Cons: Some minigames are kinda boring/repetative.

I've personally played this game for hours and hours. I beat it twice, and have unlocked all of the minigames. In this review I will try to run through the main game, as well as some of the minigames. The review would be terribly long if I went through ...

Pros: Multi-player/any age. Owned for more than 6 months, STILL THE favorite.
Cons: I wish there were more "boards" to play.

Recently purchasing a WII (not owning any previous "Mario Party" versions), this was one of the games we chose for our package (among 4 "bundled") and I couldn't be happier--this is by far our favorite which over 3 MONTHS, we've played the most. I am ...

Pros: Fun at a party, new way of playing
Cons: No widescreen, gets old fast

The next installment of the Mario Party is now available for the Wii. In this game, the controller has been replaced with realistic actions as well as an increased number of duel games. Here is my comprehensive review of the game. Story This ...

Pros: Fun for any age, lots of fun extras.
Cons: The price is still fairly high and the game is a bit older.

This game is a staple if you own a Wii system. It is fun to play alone, but excels when played with friends.The game is very similar to previous Mario Party venues on earlier systems, such as the Nintendo Game Cube. The graphics are ...

Pros: Mario and company will spend time with you even when nobody else will!
Cons: Can be a little "childish". Gets boring fast.

If you were (or are) one of those lonely kids like I was growing up, you still carry around baggage over not having anyone to play board games with. Maybe it's because I was an 80's child that board games were so important. Anyway, over time I grew up, ...

Pros: Fun and large variety of mini-games.
Cons: Board game play is basically left to chance.

Here's a game little kids seem to love but makes adults suddenly need to go work on their taxes.  Probably because its mostly based on chance instead of any strategy like those early childhood games like Sorry!  and Trouble.How The ...

Pros: Some games are fun, intuitave controls on some games, MARIO!
Cons: A lot of games have bad controls, overly hard, or just plain boring. Annoying clown.

I bought this game because I heard it was fun, and I knew many people who were fans of the older mario party games and were looking forward to getting this. I bought this because I had some money to "burn" and I saw it in the store. I decided to just buy ...

Pros: Great game board selections, all different from each other.
Cons: The trophies are dumb!  I would like more Mini Games.

We own ALL of the Mario Party games, Mario Party 8 for the Nintendo Wii is the best of them all.  All of the mini games, game boards and characters exceeded all expectations!  This game rocks!!  We get this game out with all of our friends ...
