This is the best Mario Party. Just because of the unique courses and the daytime-nighttime situation. This is the first Mario Party where you can be Toadette, Toadette first appeared in Mario Kart: Double Dash. This is very much like 5, the capsules are the same but they got the new name of the ''orb''. This is the first microphone Mario Party, easy mini-games and easy dule mini-games. My favorite mini-game is known as: ''Insectiride;;. The one where you race on the insects. The dule mini-games are the best. This is the only M. Party to have the dule mini-games in the dark blue room. This is gaining new orbs than 5 and it has a new mini-game category called: ''Rare Mini-Games'', you unlock those in solo mode. The moon hosts all the activities on the left side of the opening board and the sun on the left. The mushroom house is hosted by both since it is party. The bowser mini-games are so easty and lame, it has the Elvin Gadd ( AKA Prof. E Gadd ) character from Luigi's Mansion and you unlock lots of cool things like the book and Toadette and a new course called Clockwork castle. ( Toadette has tio be unlocked first )

Grade: A+

Let's see.This game has the new day and night feature that the other Mario Party's didnt which is awsome.The way the boards transformed because of this was also awsome.However,some of the mini-games werent all that fun.There were a few which felt more like doing chores then playing a mini-game.There were a few that were luck based then skilled.But except those few games,this is an excellent game.But the story is really childish.The Sun and Moon get into an argument about who's better and they have to be stopped with the power of the stars.That my friends,is a really bad story.

I am a collector and fan of all the Mario Party games for Nintendo's GameCube and N64. This one was awsome! Although my favorite mini-game, Bumper Balls, has not been seen or upgraded since the third installation the addition of games using the microphone was a good move by Nintendo. It is awkward to get used to the characters reacting to what you say, even though most of my friends yelled at their characters in previous installations only to have their wishes ignored by their characters' deafness. You will die laughing as you take on your friends in a 3 on 1 mic game.

This game is best played with friends. you can play the single palyer mode which you have to unlock some of the games in order to play them in multiplayer. but yeah like i said, this is a game for people who haves friends. playing with the mic is kinda hard but it is very entertaining. this is a great game to add to your gc collection.

Back when I was younger, a great game I had on the Nintendo 64 was mario party 2. It was a fantastic game to play with friends, and it always provided a great time. Upon the purchase of a gamecube, I rented mario party 4 and 5 to find that they were a waste of my time, and I gave up on the series for a few years. I began playing more advanced games, so when I came back to the mario party series, I found it to be kiddie stuff suitable for only young children. And I was right, until I found Mario party 6.

At first,I found MP6 it to be way too stuffed with kiddie stuff, and it almost made my eyes bleed to endure all those bright colors. But once it wore off on me, I found a great little game under all of the kiddie hooplah. For those who dont know, mario party games are basically virtual board games, where the goal is to collect coins, which in turn can be used to buy stars. The player (out of 4) with the most stars in the end wins. Coins are aquired by landing on spaces on the board, or by winning one of over 80 minigames that are hosted at the end of each turn sequence.

The minigames are the best part about the game. minigame tasks range from cleaning windows, to capturing goombas, to dropping lightning bolts on your opponents while they are frantically running around on a conveyor belt. There is great variety here, but if you have ever played a mario party game, you wont find much new, in tems of gameplay. All minigames are simple enough for literally anyone to pick up and even win on their first play. This is all standard issue mario party business, but the real reason to get this one over all other mario parties is the additions to the actual board games.

The first major addition is items that you use to claim spaces, which almost always hinder opponents. the concept of claiming spaces is best used in this game and allows room for a lot of opportunity, and also makes for geat fun. Another big addition is the new boards that actually completely change the way games are played. These offer amazingly different ways to experience mario party, and help bring a freshness the series so desperately needed. Finally, the gameplay has been sped up a whole lot, cutting out a lot of boring, unneeded stuff that we got in earlier mario parties.

While the gameplay has improved greatly, there are still some issues with this game. For one thing, as mentioned before, this game is extremely kiddie. If you are used to playing games like halo, GTA, or other such games, you might want to stay clear of this game, because it is so childish, it is painful. Also, graphics are utter crap. Not that this game needs cutting edge graphics, but the low poly count of character models and generally bad effects make this game very hard to look at. lastly, and this is not really a fault, is that the game comes with a gimmicky microphone with horible voice recognition that is used in such a bad way, you might just want to disable this feature altogether so it wont ruin your otherwise enjoyable gaming experience.

So if you are thinking of buying a mario party game, this would be the one. Even though the graphics are bad and it is a little too kiddie for it's own good, there is still a lot of fun to be had, especially wih friends (in fact, it is only fun with friends). It adds enough to a great formula to warrant a purchase, and thats why I give it a 4/5
