This game is SOOOOOOOOO Lame!! Every game is in BRAIN-DEAD Mode to ANYONE over the age of 5! Hince>>Party (5) game......It's SLOW, you can't see where you're going on the crowded and OVERLY decorative game boards! You have to PAY to PLAY and use your items! There's NO item stores to buy from to help you defeat other players. The "A" button to fight back when a player is trying to steal your items, STILL DOESN"T WORK, on THIS game NOR in the Party 4 game!!!! You can't understand how to play the mini-games at all!!! This game , only kids would like...MAYBE. The kids might complain about how complicated and lame this party game IS also!!!.....What a WASTE of money, and a HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT!!!

Great Game for all

We found this game to be highly addicting. Our 4 and 7 year olds love it, as do we adults. The party mode is great fun with a lot of cool things to discover. The bonus card game is a ton of fun as well. My wife and I were up many late evenings after the kids were fast asleep still playing this game. Nintendo did a great job with MP5. MP4 was a lot of fun too, but I like this one a little better.

Great to entertain preschool kids just as much as the adults

I bought Mario Party 5 the day it came out, and have often lent it out to the aftercare at my church with kids from ages 4-6. Just with any game with kids in that age group, it took a little crash course to teach them the basic way to play it (kids that age don't pay that much attention.) Amazingly enough those kids (4 players, 2 boys, 2 girls) got it down packed within 20 minutes of playing, and are so good at it, that it's scary. It's perfect for little kids to develop great hand-eye coordination and dexterity, they learn fast since this game is an all out competition. (Let me add that the little girls wipe the floor with the little boys at this game) Even if you're just thinking about buying it for older kids, teens, or adults, this game is a definite crowd pleaser (and child shutter upper.)

Review for families or those new to gaming...

The Game Cube is our first experience with video games, and it was difficult deciding which games would be appropriate for our children, ages 4 & 8. Considering the price of some games, we didn't want to make a costly mistake! I can say without reservation that Mario Party 5 is a hit with the whole family. We also have Mario Kart Double Dash, soccer, and basketball, but Mario Party 5 is by far our favorite. Mario Party 5 has lots of mini-games (which you can't play until you play a board game), and the board games are full of surprises which makes them continuously entertaining. I know some reviewers haven't liked the game, but for families with younger children, this is the one game I would recommend as a must have.

I LOVE IT!

I Love this game. After becoming addicted to Mario Party 4 at college one night as a way to get away from studying. As soon as Mario Party 5 came out, my friends and I rented it (when we finally found a place that had it in), and we were impressed! It is great to have new characters to play with, and the mini-games are great (most of them, so are pretty lame, but over all I'd day 85% of them are great). I ended up having to buy a gamecube for myself to feed my addiction of Mario Party...

If you are into non-stressful and laid back games, I would totally reccomend it!!

Mario Party 5-- Perfect

This is the best game out of the Mario Party series. The only bad thing, is that DK (DG) is not a playable character in the game. But the addition of new characters like Boo (Squalls) and Toad (ME!), make the game more fun.
The new mini-games are great. I'd say about 95% of them are fun and worth playing.
And of course, the luck factor is still in the game. Yoshi always gets lucky, while Wario and Toad never seem to catch a break.
Item shops are replaced by capsules. You get a capsule at random and have to pay to use it, or it's free to throw it on a board space. The worst capsule is KAMEK. He is stupid and doesn't help you when you need him. The best capsule is TWEESTER. When you need to move a star closer to you, he'll come through.
Overall, this game is very worthy of buying. I don't need to say more.

Mario at His Best

What can I say? This is a great game! In bonus mode I thought the Card Party would be HORRIBLE, but I was wrong! There are so many things to do. I've beat story mode, and it is FUN. (Kinda hard for beginners though...) What I'm trying to say is it is GREAT. (Thanks for reading my reveiw and bye.)

COME ON

Mario Party 4 was ok but this version pushed it. First of all, Bumper Balls (a classic) is not in MP5. The games are not that fun and Nintendo could've done better. Stick with MP4. Frankly, I belive the N64 versions were much better (MP3 especially). Don't get this game. It's a waste of your money and time.
