Mario Party

An extremely poor game. Very hard on your controllers. The spinning of the joysticks in some of the mini-games makes the joysticks loose and un-responsive. Buy at your own risk.

One of the lamest games out there!

Video games have always been a big dispointment to me. In this game we have Mario and the gang going through silly mazes, races, and they even have sack racing! I've seen the previews for this game, and it looked very childish! One of the lamest games since Sonic Adventure for Sega Dreamcast!

Also, the characters in this game all walk, run, and bounce around like Teletubbies! If you have a 5 or 6 year old he/she might like this one! It's for little kids to enjoy!

This game was so bad I sent it back to the store.

This game is horrible. First, I bought this video "game" because I thought it was fun. Well in wasn't. 1st, the graphics are poor. 2nd the computer's difficulty level is so hard. If you play with one, two, or three people, you always lose. The computer is WAY more expirenced than a human will ever be, and it just degrades from the fun factor. So ignore the reviews that say it is so great. They are overexxagerating. My 8-year-old brother got bored with it in 3 hours.

Traditionally, a player plays a game. In Mario Party, the game plays you

I bought Mario Party used for nearly twenty bucks, and it was a total waste (I've since exchanged it for two games I love). The favorable reviews here were what suckered me into buying Mario Party, by the way. Whether you're playing solo or with a group, there is NO skill required in this game. The game rolls the die for you each turn, and the steps you move on the board are obviously based on those rolls. Traditionally, a player plays a game. In Mario Party, the game plays you, and therefore, you have little to no control over how the game unfolds. A game without skill is a game best left unplayed. At least, that's my belief. This game spawned at least six sequels; I'm sure it's because people wrongfully assume that everything Mario-related is heaven-sent. Avoid this game. I'm not too keen on N64 games in general, but there were a few nice ones. Laugh if you want, but Pokemon Puzzle League was one of those few. It has some beautiful FMV scenes in between each round beaten, hand-drawn anime backgrounds during the in-game puzzle portion, and tons of side games. I'm not a big fan of the show, but I do recognize when a game has a lot of time and effort put into it. Mario Party isn't one of those kinds of games.

I'm glad I returned Mario Party for Rayman 2 and Pokemon Puzzle League.

This game takes FOREVER! If you play with one person, it is no fun at all. If you play with two or three people, the computer always wins. It was a real waste of my money, considering that Mario Party 2 came out later. The graphics are OK i guess, it is not frusterating at all because it takes really long. If you love to fidget, this is not your game, buddy.

Not that great

Mario Party could have been a great game if it was just eaiser. The computer always wins, and my brother got a blister on the tug-a-war mini-game. The game takes forever, so unless you having a sleepover, you really don't want to get it. DON'T BUY THIS GAME. RENT IT FOR A BRITHDAY PARTY. I did give it 2 stars however, because some of the mini-games were fun, and the game is a good party game, but stinks as a one-player game.

Great Game

At first I didnt like this game, then I got into it. It's like an electic boardgame. The one thing I hate is playing against the consol. Always play with four real people.

Can get boring

If you are new to Mario party games, check out number 2 or 3. This is fun to begin with but when you keep playing the same mini-games it gets a little boring. We rented this and and liked the concept but didn't enjoy it much but when Mario Party 2 came out and it stated it had more mini-games we bought that one and we really enjoyed it. We can't wait to get the 3rd one. No matter what game you go with expect to play for atleast an hour.

Not Very High-Quality Game

Well this game isnt exactly the party it was cracked up to be! Its just this board game type thing where you play against the computer or friends and when you all land on a space you play these mini-games, some of them are fun, some are pretty dumb (and some are absolutly impossible if you play against the computer, there like programed to do everything perfectly!) Its terrible graphics also, doesnt look like a N64 game, more like a super nintendo game! I suggest you rent it b4 you invest to buy it!
