I did not like this game. I played Mario Party 3 before I played 2 and 1. Mario Party 3 is a board game. All you do is go around a board and pick up items. This game is outragously overrated. (and over priced!) If you want a board game, save $$$ and buy a BOARD game.

I would have loved to try this game, but I was sent Mario Paper Instead. I was quite disappointed. I very well could'nt send it Mario Paper back because this was supposed to be a gift. Mario Paper was not what this person wanted, and had to be presented as a gift the day I received it. Sooooo, I will order Mario Party3 once more and try to get and pay for the right choice this time.

Mario Party 3 has the same concept as Mario Party 2: get as many stars as you can and win as many mini-games as you can. But both games share the same unfair randomness that has made so many people dislike the Mario Party series.
Even though Mario Party 2 DID have a lot of unfair things about it, Mario Party 3 is a lot more unfair and random, which makes it worse than the previous games. Everywhere you go in Mario Party 3 there is something unfair. Whether it's "Game Guy" ripping you off all of your coins or randomly getting valubale items from Bowser or Toad, everywhere you look there is something unfair. If two players have the exact same amount of coins or stars at the end of the game and they are both in 1st place, they will both hit dice blocks and based on THAT the winner will be declared. That means that in the end, an entire game of strategy can often mean nothing and winners often win by chance.
Since the whole game is based on chance, it's no wonder the game is so unfair. For example if "player A" has gotten a ton of coins throughout the game from winning lots of mini-games and "player B" happens to come across boo, "Player B" can steal almost all of the coins that "Player A" has worked so hard to get! And if you select "Bonuses" in the beginning of the game, any player can simply land on a space and get a free star (it is random.) Unless you are playing a board game with 10 turns, get ready for a long, arduous game, especially if it's you and 3 computer players. Plus the plot of the game is corny, the music is corny and the mini-games are boring.
If you are looking for a game where if you put effort into it you'll get something in return, don't get this game.
Uhhhh.......This game is no fun...!!!

When I first bought the game and played it with all my friends, it was fun. Then the next day I almost threw it away because it became very boring. I don't know why. Maybe it's because this game is "Boo-Boo" DO NOT BUY!!
Boring, Boring, and guess what? yeah boring

This game truly [...stinks]. The turns are a lot longer than in the other Mario Party games and the mini-games aren't that good. So, if you want to get a Mario Party game, get Mario Party 2, it is a lot better than this game.

I was so excited about this game. It had new challenges and things I was looking forward to. I was very upset though when I started playing and found out that if you started the game as a one-player, you could not change a computer player to a non-computer player if a friend wanted to join. You could in Mario Party 2. Instead, now you have to start all over and that's no fun. I do however like the fast mode where the computer player are really fast. It sure speeds the game up and keeps me from getting bored. But, I really really miss the other feature.

This Game Sucks! It takes 10 minutes just to get the game started and by then you will realise what trash this is. The mini games are stupid and pointless. The plot sucks even though I'm not sure what the plot is to begin with. I didn't play it long enough to find out. If you want a good Mario Party stick with number 1.
I don' like this game...

This game is really bad. I think that because 1.Very hard 2.the mini-games are really not that good 3.bad graphics 4.gets very boring 5.I don't like the Mario party series 6.The NPC's are either to smart, or too dumb 7.When you don't win...you sorda get frustrated 8.Nothing Really new, except Mini-games...which some are just plain stupid 9.On mini-games, if you are the one who is being attacked, you probably will lose. Well, you wonder why I put 2 stars? Well, because the first time you play it, it is mediocre. Well thank you and goodnight.
it just isnt likeable anymore

yeah sure it was a good game at first keyword:WAS. Mario party 4 is out and mario party 3 just cant compete anymore. So to all those people out there who still are trying to convince people that classics are still some of the best around especially this one face it this games dead.
