    Mario Party 8

    • The minigames are fun, and once you unlock them in the normal board game you can play them by themselves
    • 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
    • Game boards are mostly short and uneventful, minigames are pretty fun, and the gameplay is a bit slow.
    • The Extra Large minigames are a little better, but bowling is horrible compared to Wii Sports.
    • The only real negative I have is that some minigames require pure luck.
    • The motion controls work flawlessly, and are used to make some pretty neat minigames.
    • The minigames ARE fun, but are VERY slow, and dont use the wii remote ability
    • If you only want MP8 for the awesome minigames and how well the controls are made out, and character selection by all means buy this game
    • The gameboard really adds to the game and the minigames are great.
    • You can win all the minigames and still lose
    • 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
    • You can win all the minigames and still lose
    • The minigames are super fun
    • No, the minigames aren't extremely creative and I would have expected more out of them because Nintendo has the amazing tool of the Wii to work with, but they're cute and fun.
    • The minigames are simplistic and many of them often involve repetitive button mashing.
    • The graphics are decent enough to not detract from the game-Unlockable characters give you a reason (sort of) to play single player-The minigames have enough variety that they don't get lame really fast-Some minigames are skill-based and some are dumb luck, so anybody can winCons:-More game maps would have been nice-Battle minigames only seem to be worth 5

    • The minigames can become repetitive for the grown-ups, but the little ones will love it.
    • If you love Mario Brothers, then you have to get this oneThese minigames are actually fun; unlike Wario Smooth Moves4 player means even more fun
    • I expected the minigames to be more like those on Rayman.
    • strategy is pretty minimal, but the minigames break the monotony just enough to keep it fun.
    • The minigames can become repetitive for the grown-ups, but the little ones will love it.
    • Most motions are only shaking the wii remote as fast as you can
    • 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.
