The world's most popular party videogame is getting a lot crazier in Mario Party 8 for Wii! Whether you're shaking up cola cans or lassoing barrels, you and your friends will be drawn into the...
Cons: Not much fun without friends, not terribly innovative, the Mii games are no good
I would recommend this game to everyone that enjoys fun.
But as a game for more than one player I find it great fun.
This is one of the first games we purchased when we bought our WII back in 2007, and in spite of purchasing probably dozens more we'd happily trade in for a fraction of the purchase price, this is one game we always went back to and had fun playing-just a bit disappointed at the lack of "boards"
there are only a limited number of boards which limits the fun
Ok, so my whole family is me and my wife, but we love it.
The variety of games alone satisfies our short attention span family quite well.
I wanted side stories, capers, and tricks as we battled our way to the top board, but again, that never happened.
The physical "game town" within the game is small and after about three hours of wandering around, you fell as if you just need to get out of dodge.
We bought this game when it first came out for the Wii, and seven years later we are STILL playing this game on a regular basis."Mario Party 8" is a great family game, that everyone in the family can enjoy, it's like a fantastic board game that you play on your TV
Nope, this is how I chose to open my thoughts for the newest Wii game entitled "Super Mario Party 8".
The physical "game town" within the game is small and after about three hours of wandering around, you fell as if you just need to get out of dodge.
I wanted side stories, capers, and tricks as we battled our way to the top board, but again, that never happened.
well i know many people dont enjoy the new mario party but we should give nintendo a brake its there first party release for wii...and with our feedback on the
Adding these shortcomings to the mediocre and often boring mini games makes Mario Party 8 a very unattractive game.
These types of games tend to drive "good" players up the wall.-Not as much variety in the game as I had hoped for its Wii debut -- very similar to MP6 & 7.-The motion controls are not as precise as I would have hoped.
The physical "game town" within the game is small and after about three hours of wandering around, you fell as if you just need to get out of dodge.
There are no spaces where rival players can take over and use them to take away your coins or stars or something like that
You still have to sit through computer players turns, the graphics haven't really been updated, and the "single player" is tedious and not worth your time
Great game for 1 or a great game for multiple players - many fun mini games
The same problem occours when that character with the hat asks if you want to hear a secret about the board you play, you have to AIM for "no".The minigames also suffers from the quick conversion
strategy is pretty minimal, but the minigames break the monotony just enough to keep it fun.
The minigames are fun, the added Wii Remote play is a blast, and you can use your Mii's on several of the minigames!
It is really fun to play, has great playing boards, and has awesome minigames
The minigames are fun, and once you unlock them in the normal board game you can play them by themselves
I wanted side stories, capers, and tricks as we battled our way to the top board, but again, that never happened.
The mini games are fun and the boards you play in the "Party Tent" are great for someone who wants to be entertained and is competitive
The Spring and Whirlwind powers are very useful here."King Boo's Haunted Hideaway" - This board is a maze that is always changing, you are looking for the hidden star room in it, this board can be frustrating."Shy Guy's Perplex Express" - The board is set on a train that randomizes itself.
Enough different boards and modes to keep the game interesting and FUN over and over and over.
Some are better than others, but overall I like most of the mini-games, I like the game boards, and they are fun to play
only let's you steal 1-20 coins (I've only seen stars as a choice twice)
After each turn there is a minigame to play with a friend or cpu that if you win will reward you coins.
Once it is a 3 star hotel an extra 100 coins from the owner can make it impossible to steal (coins are very important on this board!)Also viewable, but not playable yet is "Bowser's Warped Orbit" which is locked at start--------------------------------------------------------------------------In the Star Battle Arena: you play through the single player game, similar in theme and design to MP6 & 7.
They give coins away like crazy so winning mini-games is almost worthless
If they loose coins they sigh or say no, if they gain coins they say yes or way to go.
The mini games are usually pretty well thought out, the graphics are cartoon-y and appealing, and the board game approach works
My kids accidentally destroyed our first copy and up until recently, sellers were gouging the price on it, but I managed to catch it on a downswing and repurchased it.
We broke our first copy of this game, and just had to buy it again
