Its true. First of all its not as fun as Mario party 1,2,or 3. This is not good at all. Youll probably want Mario party 1,2,& 3.
A person would probably fell disappointed If they bought Mario party 4 or even this. I think they will make a mario party 6. They dident did do a very good job with this or even mario party 4 or even this. They however did a good job with mario party 1,2,& 3.
tooooo many

MARIO PARTY 1 and 2were good but 5? common, all you do is roll a dice, move, and play mini games, over and over and over and over....... get my point? Nintendo should have stayed with 1 and 2 or changed the game a little,
No.....no no no

Well, Let me just say I have played all of the Mario Party's in the series and this is by far the worst one. While the graphics and animation are better then ever, who thought it would be a good idea to play against 3 koopa's in story mode and iliminate the star aspect of it? First off, it is harder for you to attain coins then it is for them and secondly your not even after stars, just each other. You have to play the same 10 games over and over with them, most of which are based mostly on random luck and button mashing.
Nintendo, what were you thinking when you made these mini-games? They are beyond tedious and involve little to no real skill unlike the previous Mario Parties. They get boring very fast and after the last dream mode in story mode, you have to fight bowser (which you will probably mess up about 45 times before you get it right because you will have no idea what on earth you are suppose to be doing).
Cute game at first and much more fun when you have a group of people to play along with. I would recommend it for younger players, but just rent it from the video store or get it used. Dont bother ponying up 50 bucks for it. It really isnt worth it.
Just Plain BORING !

I waited and waited for this game to come out ... and was VERY sad and disappointed the game. Yes the Mini-games are fun but there is no challenge in them. The game is slow and has nothing to really work for. The stars are so easy to get it's like getting acne ! DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ! Buy Mario Party 4 .. its more fun !
Little Boring

The GOOD Things:
3 more players to choose from !! Boo, Baby Bowser and Toad
70 New Mini Games !!
More Boards
3 extra-games
The BAD things
Donkey Kong Can't be choose as a player, he disappeared...(well, not completely because now gives you coins)
The Boards are EXTREMELY SHORT, you only go in circles again, and again, is sooo boring !!
The Story Mode is ALWAYS the same thing in each game
The voices of the Characters Changed, por example, my FAVORITE character is Yoshi !! When i heard the new voice, i was shocked !
is HORRIBLE......
WARNING: Is boring, but not completely. Only if you play alone...
It has to stop here

I enjoyed mario party through all the games and now its just getting old. I'm not saying Mario Party 5 is bad, but the boards could have been done better. I like the minigames too, but there didn't seem to be as many. I'm just saying that Nintendo has to stop here or else its just gonna get really bad. Other things I do like about this game that makes it unique is that you can use toad, boo, and koopa kid. Its better for a change to use mario or yoshi. Overall, I give this game a 4/5 which is good, but its not what I expected it to be.
Mario comes back with some new friends and fun

I played this game and I would say it has a lot to offer. The main part of the game is pary mode where you play a bord game where you travel around and get stars and coins. You also play a mini game at the end of every turn. this is where you and the other players play a short game. There is lots to do if you get bored with pary mode. Theres is a mode I like best in this game it is called super duel mode. in super duel mode you build a car and battle other oppoents is a arena. There is also a "pick and choose" version of party mode called Mini game mode. you get to choose which mini game you want to play. In all ied say that Mario Party 5 is a good game that will keep kids busy for a long time.

The bottom line is....if you like the mario parties.....this is most certainly the best one yet. Why i say that is because the maps are 3-D and there are 3 new characters! Except you are not allowed to be DK anymore because he has a special chance square on the board that you can get tons of coins and maybe a star if you land on it. I won't tell you the secret characters....but now all i pick is the new ones. Good game to buy.
Another Great Mario Party

I just rented this game and let me tell you that it is tons of fun. With all of the new minigames that keep you coming back for more, this game is sure to get you hooked. Along with new characters and even more bizarre minigames you can change the odds with a new slew of items. But there is one flaw. The game is still to much like all of the others. That is why I didn't give it a five star rating. I mean it is fun, don't get me wrong but if you are looking for a new and different game for Christmas maybe this one isn't the right one for you. The story mode is very easy to master and takes almost no effort to complete. After you complete it there are a few new bonuses but ill leave those up to you to find. Well if you love Mario Party or just want to get in on the party action then this game is probably a must-buy. However if your looking for something different perhaps this isn't the best way to go.
