To those not familliar with Mario party:

Mario party is a turn based board game, with 4 players collecting coins to buy stars, to win the game. This is the basic objective of the game where the most stars wins, however items (or in this case orbs) can be brought and used to sabotage other peoples chances of winning whether it be a space that sets you on fire when you pass it, costing you ten coins, or a smug goomba who declares you must pay another player the number on the dice roll.

After everyone has had a turn moving, a mini game is played after every turn. The minigames on mario party 6 are exceptionally fun and take the form of 1v3 2v2 0r 1v1v1v1, meaning players may be teaming up or all out fighting for the prize of 10 coins ( a star costs 20 coins). A personal fave was 'Snow Brawl' a 1v3 mini game which is basically a snow fight with 'shy guys' helping out the person on their own.

The controls for these minigames are usually quite easy and the instructions are very clear, with advice given. Beware of computers though, in this version of mario party they are very clever and competitive.

In conclusion i would say that if you could rent or even buy cheaply, an early version of mario party, then this would give you a feel of whether you can put up with this different version of gameplay. Just remember that mario party 6 is a lot more involving and the minigames are much better than earlier games.

Also included: Orbs (each has a different effect, some are used on you, other are traps placed on 'character spaces' for other people to land on)

Miracle spaces
Duel Spaces
? Spaces (where random things happen)

For those that know Mario party, i dont think much has changed, more orbs that dont affect the person who uses them, more minigames, and according to my friends, Mario party 6 has the better ones too.

All in All this makes this an essential purchase, not only for fun gameplay but a good solo mode and other extras that gives this game a long lifespan.

I really like it

I am only 5 and I really like it. I play it all the time. I like all the places in the game. And you can buy stuff and there lots of new people. There's a sun and moon that's new on this game. There's sun and moon make battle mini games. And different mushrooms. - in all I love it!

The Best Party Game EVER!

As if 5 Mario Party games weren't enough, the 6th one was made. Of course, I was a little skeptical that Mario Party could outdo themselves, but man, they did. With about 90 awesome mini-games, and the brilliant invention that is the GameCube Microphone, Mario Party 6 is the greatest party game EVER! (May I recommend playing "Speak Up!" in Mic Mode?)

Not bad.Not good either

Let's see.This game has the new day and night feature that the other Mario Party's didnt which is awsome.The way the boards transformed because of this was also awsome.However,some of the mini-games werent all that fun.There were a few which felt more like doing chores then playing a mini-game.There were a few that were luck based then skilled.But except those few games,this is an excellent game.But the story is really childish.The Sun and Moon get into an argument about who's better and they have to be stopped with the power of the stars.That my friends,is a really bad story.

Night Day, Party All Night

This is the best Mario Party. Just because of the unique courses and the daytime-nighttime situation. This is the first Mario Party where you can be Toadette, Toadette first appeared in Mario Kart: Double Dash. This is very much like 5, the capsules are the same but they got the new name of the ''orb''. This is the first microphone Mario Party, easy mini-games and easy dule mini-games. My favorite mini-game is known as: ''Insectiride;;. The one where you race on the insects. The dule mini-games are the best. This is the only M. Party to have the dule mini-games in the dark blue room. This is gaining new orbs than 5 and it has a new mini-game category called: ''Rare Mini-Games'', you unlock those in solo mode. The moon hosts all the activities on the left side of the opening board and the sun on the left. The mushroom house is hosted by both since it is party. The bowser mini-games are so easty and lame, it has the Elvin Gadd ( AKA Prof. E Gadd ) character from Luigi's Mansion and you unlock lots of cool things like the book and Toadette and a new course called Clockwork castle. ( Toadette has tio be unlocked first )

Grade: A+

Some helpful advice if wondering where story mode went....

The first thing I have to say is that this game is perfect accept for one important game mode. That mode is Story Mode. Sure playing Party Mode with your friends is really fun but what if all of your friends don't come and play the game with you. Then Mario Party6 gets boring really fast. It gets boring fast because when your alone you would usually play story mode by yourself. Don't get me wrong, this game isn't bad because it dosen't have a story mode. There's a solution to that, and the solution would be to have one of your friends spend the night at your house and you would play team party mode. You and your friend be on teams aginst two other computers and play a game of party mode and win aginst them. That would be an easy and fun way to have a substitute story mode. If you're reading this I hope it helped you with the story mode problem. Thanks for reading my review!

I Hope You Got Friends

This game is best played with friends. you can play the single palyer mode which you have to unlock some of the games in order to play them in multiplayer. but yeah like i said, this is a game for people who haves friends. playing with the mic is kinda hard but it is very entertaining. this is a great game to add to your gc collection.

I have not played this game yet, but by going on to several websites, I have found out that it is very good. Cheat Code Central tells you almost everything! All the orbs, characters, features and of course, cheats. I need to get this game from a buyer on ebay, in UK, because my format is PAL. The first board I will play is probably going to be towering treetop. I doubt many people in the world do this but I create boards off the Nintendo! I am very talented! My previous boards have included:
TOADS MIDWAY MADNESS - MP4
KOOPA'S SEASIDE SORIEE - MP4
BOWSER'S GNARLY PARTY - MP4
SPACE LAND - MP2
SWEET DREAM - MP5
PIRATE DREAM - MP5
RAINBOW DREAM - MP5
UNDERSEA DREAM - MP5

I AM WORKING ON CASTAWAY BAY (I am getting the image off the web)

Overall, I cannot wait to get MP6.

Fun, fun, FUN!!

I recently got this toy as a birthday gift. The microphone that comes with it gets annoying. Like, when you say, "up" sometimes Mario will freeze instead of moving up. The party mode is awesome! They didn't completely redo this game. For all of you who like Mario Party 5, Mario Party 6 is for you! I have one last thing to say, it's a Mario game! Why wouldn't it be FUN!?
