Mario Party 8 Wii

Pros: Fun, cute and did I mention fun?

Cons: Heckling voices!

The Bottom Line: If you're a Mario fan, you've got to have this game.

Review: When my kids got into Mario Party back on the Gamecube, I didn't understand what the big deal was about the game, I mean a bunch of mini games? Big deal right? Well, I have since changed my mind since we have the Wii and PS3 in the living room, ...

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 through ...

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 am ...

Pros: Fun for any age, lots of fun extras.

Cons: The price is still fairly high and the game is a bit older.

The Bottom Line:

The game is great for all ages and easy to play and understand. It does not require a lot of twisting movements like some other Wii games do.

Review: This game is a staple if you own a Wii system. It is fun to play alone, but excels when played with friends.The game is very similar to previous Mario Party venues on earlier systems, such as the Nintendo Game Cube. The graphics are ...

Pros: Quick to learn, easy to play, fun for all ages in groups.

Cons: Annoying sounds and chatty characters, can't skip through tedious intros.

The Bottom Line: The Bottom Line stole the Mario Party soundtrack from the library.

Review: I knew that purchasing a Wii would increase my popularity by several orders of magnitude, but what I failed to realize at first was that having the Wii is only half the equation.  The other key component is having awesome multiplayer games that ...

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 ...

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 up, ...

Pros: great graphics, fun for the whole family, lots of characters to choose from

Cons: difficult courses, pirates!

The Bottom Line: I would recommend this to people who are just looking for some nice gaming, and vibrant graphics!

Review: Product Description Nintendo Claims: Everyone gets in on the fun of Mario Party 8 for the Wii. Use the Wii remote to twist, turn, lasso your way through 6 all-new game boards and dozens of thrill-packed mini games. My Experience ...

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 before the ...

Pros: Variety of games, fun for whole family.

Cons: None

The Bottom Line: I would recommend this game for families.

Review: I am a huge Nintendo fan. Eventhough I am an adult, I still like the kiddie family games. The Mario Party series has always been a fun one because there is a variety of games for every age to enjoy. So naturally, when this game became available, ...
