What is This?!

I am a Mario fanboy. I'll buy a Mario game, no matter what! But I sadly admit that the purchase of Mario Party 5 was a mistake. I'm sorry, but this series was getting tired. (I am pleased to say that the release of the satisfynig Mario Party 6 brought the series back to life)
The graphics of the released-earlier Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour and Mario Kart: Double Dash far exceed the character models and other graphics of Mario Party 5. Come on Hudson, get with the program! Mario, Luigi, Peach, Daisy, Wario, Waluigi, and Yoshi are playable again. But what happened to Donkey Kong? He is no longer playable. Now he's just some extra character who gives you bananas in Party Mode. Hudson, WTF?! To take DK's place, Toad and Boo are now playable, along with some dumb thing created by Hudson called Koopa Kid. Again, Hudson, WTF?!
The sound...what do you expect in Mario Party? The character voieces are same old, same old, but I wish that Hudson would trash Daisy's annoying voice. She is my favorite character, and I hate always hearing, "Yeah, Daisy's the winner!"
The minigames of Mario Party 5 are very dull and boring. I was hoping for Mario Part 5 to improve some of the flaws of other Mario Parties, but I was disappointed. The minigames of Mario Party 4 were more entertaining. I was able to find about five or six that were remotely fun.
Party Mode has about two new innovations. The names of the boards are stupid: Sweet Dream, Toy Dream, Pirate Dream... Hudson, WTF?! Gameplay is slow. I absolutely HATE how slow and tediously the computer moves. Also, the Item Shop has been replaced the Capsule Machine. Capsules are probably the biggest and worst flaw of the game. They are flimsy, indecisive, and are usually never landed, on the effort is obsolete. But they are free! What do you expect from something that's free?
Story Mode. Oh. My. Freaking. GOD! What an idiotic story. Bowser and his sidekick Koopa Kid want to take over Dream Depot! Nooo! Who the heck is Koopa Kid? What happened to Bowser Jr. and the Koopalings? And Dream Depot? Could Hudson not think of another word that begins with a "D"? "Domain" souds much better and more fantastical. A preschooler wouldn't even be scared of Bowser and Koopa Kid's idea.
On a whole, Mario Party 5 is the worst Mario Party game, as well as the worst Mario game period in recent years. An effortless failed attempt at a game. I positively love the Matio franchise---it has great characters, games, and ideas, but everyone makes a mistake once in a while. The only fun in Mario Party 5 is laughing with your friends at how stupid the game is.

IT'S GREAT

This game is the best game made in history and it would be smart of you to ask your parents to get it for christmas or your birthday. This game has new action packed new mini games and has new gameboards and three new characters to go with it. If it was a scale of 1 to 1,000 I will give it a 1,000. This game is 3x's better than the old Mario Parties. This game would be useful to spend your money on. ROCK ON MARIO PARTY 5!!!!!

coolest game on earth!

Mario party 5 rules I love it I play story,super duel,party and
mini game mode. Some of my friends cant stop playing it I am
stuck in the last thing in story mode. My dad wins most of my
games and I will ask him only to help me on this part of
mario party 5. Then I will do it all over because i will not
stop playing story mode until I use all the players I only
am playing with luigi.I want to finish it.

Ok, now if this game was the very first mario party game ever, then i would like it. BUT COME ON!!! There r already 4 MARIO PARTY GAMES!!! AND THEY R ALL EXACTLY THE SAME!!!! O sure, there might be a few differen't mini games and crap but ITS THE SAME EXACT CONCEPT!!! AHHHHH!!! IM GONNNA DIE!!! The only reason you should buy this game is if you have NEVER EVER played a mario party game before or if u don't have ANY mario party games. IT would just be wasting your money if u collected all these games. And if you've never played a mario party game but wanna buy one, i would say u should probably buy an older one becuase the older ones r ALOT CHEAPER and still EXACTLY THE SAME!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

RE:This is is THE best Mario Party to date!

I think that this game is going to be alot of fun. I played the other Mario Parties, and they were fun! My mother bought me MP4 for the Nintendo GameCube for Christmas last year, and I was satisfied with it, probably because it had cool Mini-Games in it.
However, the ONLY thing that I will probably hate about MP5 is the waiting time, because when I played the other Mario Parties(including 4), the waitng time were VERY short, and I've seen gameplay movies of it. But I think that MP5 will be a player's choice, for both young AND older gamers. And so what if there really isn't anything new in MP5? You don't need new things to Make Mario Party. All you need are Mini-Games, 3-D board maps, a few Nintendo characters(ones that have to do with Mario, of course), and, my favorite, a few friends over so you can play ALL NIGHT LONG!!

Mario party lost their touch

Mario party 5 is the worst out of all of them! The super duel mode is poor because the cars are slow, the capsules was a dumb idea because your never sure what your going to get and they dont do anything good at all. Most of the mini games are boaring and the levels are boaring also. They lost their touch! I asked my dad for it on christmas because I thought it would be better then all the other ones I played. Major disappointment! If you have a Gamecube get Mario party 4. Thats just my opinion though!

too short.

I beated this game in one day. It was too short. I did like the story. The story was fun. Too bad they didn't show part of the story for a little preview like they did with mario party 4 before. It isn't as good as mario party 6,3,2 and 1. Don't buy this game if you don't like games that are very short, very easy and boring. Please just buy mario party 6.

Fantastic game by Stevin Gifford

Mario Party Five is a fantastic game. I like it because there are 3 new characters. I can make my own machine in super dual mode. There are new mini game to play. There are new place in the board maps. Mario party fans should buy this game.
