I am a 21 year old gamer and i own he ps2, xbox, and(obviously) the gamecube, and i have to admit that in all those systems there is no game as fun as Mario Party 4. I play this game for hours at a time with my friends and never get bored, though i wouldnt recomend buying this game if you dont have anyone to play with. This is one of the best games for any console, BUY IT.

A nice game to play with family.

This game is another sequal to the other Mario Party Games.If you have played the other games on 64, it's pretty much like them. Only this game has a story mode if you are going to play by your self. But don't get to excited about that, it is just you and the computers playing against each other, and if you win the bord match you get a little present. This game as usual you still can play up to 4 players,that is if you have 4 controllers.
Ok now I will get on to why I rated it 4 stars rather thatn 5.
#1.The game is only fun when you have other people to play with.
#2.The game bords aren't as cool as the other ones on 64
I recomend that if you buy this game that you should have at least 1 other person to play.
Oh, I just came up with a 3rd reason
#3. Each bord match always takes over a half an hour usually over an hour and if you play a game it takes up to 2 hours and sometimes more and that is a long time.
Over all this game is ok.

Very Good game but missing something

This is one fun,awesome and addictive multiplayer game and recommended to all mario fans. but the single player game drops this games rating for it is very weak and Nintendo did not create this game for single player mode bto be greatly enjoyed like muliplayer mode and that is very bad. But ovrall still a very fun and enjoyable game.

This is truly the best game that is coming out for gamecube because you will have tons of fun with this game for hours. In mario party 4, there will also be a new team battle feature, which you will be with a partner and you and your partner will combine getting stars. you have to beat the other team and also there will be 50 new mini games and the graphics are just wow!. so i suggest pre order this item and dont wait till it comes out on october 24 because if u do it will be sold out and u will have to wait till the next shipment. Mario Party 4 will be a guaranteed smash

A Game That'll Keep You Asking For More

To start out with, I'd like to say that I only have Mario Party 2 and Mario Party 4. To me, 4 seems better board-wise, but 2 has funner mini-games.

Mario Party 4 introduces, instead of the normal Toad hosts every game formula, different hosts for each board. The boards in this game are spectacular. Ranging from tropical soirees to haunted houses, Mario Party 4 seems to excell in boards.

The only board I was a bit disappointed with was Toad's Midway Madness (an amusemant park board with a roller coaster you can ride, and the only board in the game hosted by Toad), and it's because of the first part. The tea cups- which alternate directions everytime someone rides them- can leave someone wasting pointless time running around in a circle for half the game. I like the tea cup idea, but not if it's going to send me in circles!

Goomba's Greedy Gala (hosted by Goomba) is a casino board, and in the earlier Mario Party games, there is always a board that is seperated into four different boards (for 1 it was Wario's Board, for 2 it was Mystery Land). This one is the board for Mario Party 4. In the middle is a roulette, and you spin it to decide which small board you're going to go to. If the ball lands on a star, you get to chose which direction you go in and you get 20 coins!

Shy Guy's Jungle Jam seemed like the most boring board on Mario Party 4, but in truth, it's actually quite fun. You can go in all sorts of directions, and you can have Shy Guy- the host of the board- flood the river which runs through the middle of the board, so players cannot cross it for a certain amount of turns. The biggest bonue of this one is the eagle, who can fly you from one point of the board to the other, and sometimes it'll let you collect coins on the way.

Boo's Haunted Bash is hosted by none other than Boo. This haunted board, instead of Mario Party 2's Horror Land, which is just a field full of monsters, is a haunted house, and it's probably the most creative. I enjoyed the ghosts. They looked like real ghosts (you could see through them), and the ghost train is a big advantage if you want to get somewhere fast. The see-through floors that appear only when Red Boos stalk the corridors can be annoying, but they make an excellent challenge if you're an expert player.

And to top it all off, Koopa's Seaside Soiree! This is my favorite Mario Party board yet, probably because it's hypnotic. You could sit for fifteen minutes just looking around at all the beautiful sites (made by Koopa, the host). The aquatic water is what fills most of the board. You can see fish swimming in it. Where the beach part of the board is, there are fruits sitting on tanning chairs. Koopa's Seaside Soiree isn't my favorite just because it's the prettiest, it's because the game is very challenging! The monkeys have you slip on banana peels, sending you in a random direction, and if you land on a question mark space in front of Koopa's resort, then you could end up paying a huge sum of coins while watching a tsunami tear the building down! You can also ride a fish to get to different points in the board.

There's also a Bowser Board too, hosted by his son, that's unlockable, but it's nothing much. The lava was nice looking, but it didn't give you many options on where you wanted to go when you got to a fork in the road. If you're mega and you pass Bowser you'll face him in a Mini Game, but that's all that comes to mind for this board.

The mini-games in Mario Party 4 are fun, but some can be a pain. Repeatedly pressing the A button over and over as fast as you can in games like Domination and Slime Time is really annoying, and sometimes you could waste all your energy for nothing. But other games like the skiing game (name, anyone?), Mario Medley and Hop or Pop are very entertaining.

Mario Party 4 has many bonuses that Mario Party 2 doesn't seem to have. The graphics, of course, but also the option to chose the amount of turns you get to have (10, 15, 20, and counting by fives all the way up to 50). Another is the custom mini-game mode, where you get to select a set of mini-games, and that set is the only set of mini-games that will appear at the end of each turn. This is nice for getting rid of those few horribly annoying games that you just can't stand.

All in all, Mario Party 4 is grand game, and is definately worth the fifty bucks!

A Huge Dissapointment...

When I saw the commercial for this Mario Party 4 I almost jumped out of my seat. 50 mini-games?! I took my hard earned $..., and purchased the game. Five minutes into the game, I realized that I had made a mistake. Mario Party 4 is boring at best. Gameplay is constantly interrupted by text-boxes full of meaningless information. 75% of the time is spent watching the animated characters move around. To top it off, the mini-games that I was looking forward to turned out to be quick little dissapointments. If you are looking for a great game with hours of potential game play, get yourself a copy of Super Monkey Ball. That should hold you over until a new version of Mario Kart comes out.

Just another money making scheme

I'm sick of mario party titles. The first one was fun, the second one was weak, but still good, and from there on the series hit rock bottom and dragged it's way across it. It may entertain someone who's never played the series, but everyone else will be dead sick of it. Mario party should have stayed Mario Party, and there shouldn't have been any sequels. Obviously Nintendo's in this franchise for the money and only the money.

Great for Younger Players

My almost-5-year-old loves this game. He got 5 different games with his Xmas GameCube and this is the one he comes back to and plays with the longest. I know some reviewers said it's not a great game for 1 player, but trust me, if you are younger like my son, and an only child to boot, it's GREAT fun to have the computer play the other 3 characters. He cheers for his computer partner whenever he or she wins a challenge.

But mom enjoys it too, and my son and I played for 3 hours straight one day. A great investment for families who want to get games that EVERYONE can play.

A great game for all ages!

Whether you're 2, or 200, this is a great game for you! With over 50 great mini-games and 6 super-fun board games, you'll never get tired! A great games for everyone! But if your not a fan of the Mario series (which your probably not) try Super Monkey Ball, or Super Monkey Ball 2 for GameCube, or Super Monkey Ball Jr. for the Game Boy Advanace. I hope this helps!

Gets very old very quick

I highly advise you not to buy this. (...) I suppose this is a good party game, but I think MK: DD!! is a much better one. Anyway, the game is very slow-pased and boring, and there isn't much variety at all. After a while, you just won't care what you'll unlock, as there are so many better games out.
