Mario on the Wii isnt all it should be: For a machine built with one eye very much on social gaming and the gathering together of lots of people to make fools of themselves, the Nintendo Wii should surely be the most comfortable home ever...

In recent years the moustachioed plumbers parties have become a bigger bore than an accounting convention but hopes were high that the radical Wii remote could enliven his latest shindig faster than an open bar. Unfortunately, the same old grumb...

The mini-games have been retooled for the Wii to nice effect, but game boards still rely too heavily on the fluke factor Comprised of dozens of simple to learn, easy to play mini-games, Mario Party titles have consistently acted as a bridge between my...

A lesson that all gamers must come to grips with is the idea that not every game is accessible or interesting to non-gamers. While many college dorms bustle with Xboxes and Halo players who smoke substances that match the Chiefs green armor, the rest...
Mario Party is a utility more than a game. You will probably never play it at all by yourself. You wont admit to owning it to your guy buddies, but it looms on your shelf, behind your Call of Dutys and Gears of Wars, for those nights when you have th...

“Mario, Mario! Wherefore art thou Mario?” “He’s climbing a tree!” “A tree? Is there a star at the top?” “Well actually, yes. But this isn’t his typical adventure. He’s not fighting Bowser and his...

I was somewhat disappointed by the overall visual presentation of Mario Party 8. The colours are definitely solid and manage to jump off the screen, but the rest of the visuals seem to be way too GameCube like. I know that many critics of the machine l...

Mario Party 8 brings social interactive gameplay to its natural home on the Wii. Tons of mini-games break up the goal of collecting coins and capturing stars. It may be a bit too luck-based for some, but overall it’s an enjoyable experience and anot...

The Nintendo 64 was definitely a fun system. Sure, the games were expensive due to the antiquated cartridge system (60-70 bucks as opposed to 40-50 for similar PS1 titles), but the system featured all the characters we have grown up with and love to t...

Is there a place for a game like Mario Party 8 on the Nintendo Wii? After all, this is a platform already inundated with party games. Why do you need another Mario Party when you can swing for the fences or hit the lanes on Wii Sports, arguably the mo...
Clever board configurations; lots of back and forth momentum swings to keep people in the game.
Mini-games arent innovative or exciting; luck clearly outweighs skilled play; lame visuals.

Minigames make great use of the Wii Remote; a blast to play with 3 other friends; creative and nice looking game boards with unique ways to get stars on each one.
Many minigames feel like rehashes of old Mario Party minigames with Wii controls tacked on; no online support; while the graphics are improved over MP7, MP8 still looks like an average GameCube game; lame single player mode that you’re forced to pla...
Bottom line is that if you love Mario Party, you’ll still love Mario Party 8. If you don’t love the Mario Party games, this one isn’t going to do anything that will change your mind, even with the Wii controls. Personally, I love Mario P...

Bored game. In its eighth console iteration over as many years, a new Mario Party is almost as certain as a new Madden title. Yet in those eight years, I’ve somehow managed to avoid the series until now. I thought I’d look back to see what thi...

two years shy of a decade ago - and like clockwork the Big N has released a new entry into the series every year since, each sporting the same fundamentals with new virtual boards and mini-games. Clearly this copy and paste approach to the series is en...

If you�ve read my reviews over the years you�ll know that I haven�t been the biggest fan of the Mario Party series. Released on almost a yearly basis, the Mario Party games have seen little innovation until now. Utilizing the Wii�s motion-sensing remot...

We all knew when the Wii launched that it would be a strong first-party system. The third-party stuff, while interesting, hasnt exactly set the world on fire and Wii owners have been waiting patiently--or not so patiently--for Nintendo to throw open t...

For those who experienced the original Mario Party on the Nintendo 64, it is likely to be a videogaming experience that they will never forget. Not for the hours of multiplayer fun or for Warios bizarre Oh, I missed! whining after a defeat, but more...
