Reviews around use (5.00 of 5)

  • Finally, there are other video games chock full of mini-games that make much better use of the Wii-Remote than Mario
  • Especially because there are other games on the Wii that are filled with mini-games that make far better use of the
  • It makes great use of the Wii remote, is simple enough for anyone to play, and there are lots of great mini-games to play.
  • I bet some other games might have a better use with the remote, but not this one.
  • Some of them are quite fun and make good use of the wii remote, such as the game where you have to shake up a soda can, or wipe off the chomp.

Reviews around son (4.61 of 5)

  • They only have 4 minigames for you to play with at first, then the rest you have to play the board games which my son don't have the patient.
  • Fun game, my son liked this game since it is played kind of like a game board.
  • My son really enjoys the game and its a little more intense because you have to more your hands, body, etc

Reviews around fun (4.34 of 5)

  • 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

Reviews around family (4.26 of 5)

  • 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

Reviews around time (4.18 of 5)

  • There are a FEW (scarce) times where the Wiimote's motion sensing was a little off but nothing to annoy you too much
  • She is happy with it and we have had a good time playing it.
  • Have to have 2-4 players to really have a good time with game.
  • The game is definitely family friendly, though we're all adults and have a great time playing.
  • My two neices love playing this game and when I play with them, I have a good time myself.

Reviews around party (4.17 of 5)

  • 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.

Reviews around mario (4.07 of 5)

  • Nope, this is how I chose to open my thoughts for the newest Wii game entitled "Super Mario Party 8".
  • Its classic mario party with a new theme, controls, and characters
  • I can't say that this game, "Super Mario Party 8" is the best representation of what the Nintendo Wii is capable of.
  • The graphics for "Super Mario Party 8" rank, at best, in the mid-6s.
  • 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.

Reviews around player (3.81 of 5)

  • 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

Reviews around minigames (3.61 of 5)

  • 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

Reviews around board (3.13 of 5)

  • 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

Reviews around coin (1.95 of 5)

  • 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.

Reviews around copy (1.95 of 5)

  • 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

Reviews around minigame (1.80 of 5)

  • 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.
  • After each turn there is a minigame to play with a friend or cpu that if you win will reward you coins.
  • 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.
  • So basically, the computer players never win a single minigame, but are so lucky they get coins and stars all the time

Reviews around disc (1.25 of 5)

  • The disc looks fine, so there is no way they could have known it malfunctioned as it could usually reach the main screen
  • I would not buy again if the disc was scratched or buy as a gift for someone else.(I am though excited about what Super Mario Strike will offer).
  • We used up or last disc and had to replace it because we missed it so much!
  • I loved this game and this disc had absolutely no issues when I purchased it.
  • The disc was loose in the case, but luckily the disc was not scratched.
