Mario Party 8 Wii

Pros: Very fun minigames, cool boards, new characters, and a bunch of fun with your friends.

Cons: Annoying announcer, same gameplay as old Mario Parties, Same sound effects.

The Bottom Line: All in all this is a really great game, I just wish that it had wi-fi compatability. I mean, what the hell Nintendo, I want online games on the Wii!!

Review: Here comes Mario and all his pals for another grand adventure...or maybe not so grand.

The basics of this game are simple, you hit a dice block, move however many spaces indicated by the dice block, and hope to god you can get the star...

Pros: Multi-player/any age. Owned for more than 6 months, STILL THE favorite.

Cons: I wish there were more "boards" to play.

The Bottom Line: This is a "Must-have" for any family purchasing a WII system. Uses the controls to the fullest. After 6 months, and many purchases, it's still our favorite.

Review: Recently purchasing a WII (not owning any previous "Mario Party" versions), this was one of the games we chose for our package (among 4 "bundled") and I couldn't be happier--this is by far our favorite which over 3 MONTHS, we've played the most. I...

Pros: Tons of minigames, hours of fun, fun for all ages.

Cons: Some minigames are kinda boring/repetative.

The Bottom Line: This is a great game that can be played over and over by all skill level players, and age groups.

Review: I've personally played this game for hours and hours. I beat it twice, and have unlocked all of the minigames. In this review I will try to run through the main game, as well as some of the minigames. The review would be terribly long if I went...

Pros: Mario and company will spend time with you even when nobody else will!

Cons: Can be a little "childish". Gets boring fast.

The Bottom Line: This is not something I would play daily, but beats cleaning up the mess of an old fashioned board game!

Review: If you were (or are) one of those lonely kids like I was growing up, you still carry around baggage over not having anyone to play board games with. Maybe it's because I was an 80's child that board games were so important. Anyway, over time I grew...

Pros: Kids love it

Cons: Boring for adults

The Bottom Line: Recommended for elementary school age kids. Not recommended for adults.

Review: Usually my kids wake up on a Saturday morning and it's straight to the cartoons followed closely by, What's for breakfast . Not anymore! It's all about Mario Party 8. My husband keeps telling them to play Mario Party on the Game Cube, but they never...

Pros: a few good boards and a few good mini games

Cons: Hudson is running out of ideas, there are better Mario parties out there.

The Bottom Line: Mario Party 8 isen't terrible but it's not 50 dollers good.

Review: I rented Mario Party 8 a couple of days ago and I played through the single player, yes I know Mario Party 8 is a multiplayer game and I rented it at a bad time when I had no one around to play multiplayer but has I played through it I came to...

Pros: Good use of Wii controllers, some new game types and characters

Cons: Cheesy unlockables, fairly easy single-player modes

The Bottom Line: A small investment for big family fun. Go out and get this game!

Review: My five-year-old is perhaps the biggest Mario fan in the known world and could not wait (or stop bugging me about it) for this game to arrive. Since then I don't believe a day has gone by without him wanting to play it, pretending to play it, or...

Pros: Allows you to have many players.

Cons: Overly repetitive and not much fun.

Review: I am glad to have rented this one, as I would not buy it. The games are just slight variations of each other. Things really get boring and repetitive after you go around a few times. A lot of the mini games are simple and not much fun.

I...

Pros: Great game board selections, all different from each other.

Cons: The trophies are dumb! I would like more Mini Games.

The Bottom Line: I would recommend this game to anyone that likes board games. This is a fast paced game with no game tokens to lose!

Review: We own ALL of the Mario Party games, Mario Party 8 for the Nintendo Wii is the best of them all. All of the mini games, game boards and characters exceeded all expectations! This game rocks!! We get this game out with all of our friends and have a...

Pros: Many unique mini games, fun for eveyone, involves healthy physical activity.

Cons: Same concept as other Mario party games.

Review: Mario Party 8 for Nintendo Wii is a fantastic game for people of all ages! It's safe, fun, and not violent. Just because there is no violence does not mean it's no fun for adults. It's the kind of game for competative families or friends because it...
