Good Game   08/07/2008
By molebean from Ephrata, PA

"This game features many nintendo characters and several different game modes. The mini games are fun for everyone and are very easy for most people to understand. I would not recommend this game to children under 7."

Good Party Game   07/31/2008
By ComputerGEEK11 from Carlisle, PA

Pros: lots of worlds, fun strategy game, multi-player

"This is the best mario party game yet. There are tons of new mini games to keep you entertained. There are new worlds, and each of them features a unique goal to attain. This game is so much fun, especially when you get to use the wii remotes to play the mini games. THere are varying lengths and difficulty...so you can adjust the settings for any type of crowd or situation. I absolutely love this game, its a perfect multiplayer strategy game with fun mini games and it takes full advantage of the wii remote abilities."

Cool   07/30/2008
By BUbbybob from Michigan

Pros: Fun
Cons: Parts too easy

"It was a good game, but some of it was not challenging enough. some of the mini games were not even hard at all. the ones that use the wii remotes' sensors were pretty good, but others like shaking a soda can were not all that much fun. Overall, i thoughtit was pretry good"

Fun for the whole family   07/30/2008
By MinusTom

Pros: Competitions are for any age group; storyboard play = free time between turns; great graphics and scenery
Cons: none

"Competitions are fun for any age group and the skills you need to play make it fair for young and old kids to compete together. The competitions all follow a storyboard layout (move your character from start to finish), so you get breaks in the action when it isn't your turn. But it's still fun to watch the other players as they take their turn. Each round of individual play is followed by group competition (individual, 2 on 2, and sometimes 3 on 1).

Play some gameboards as individuals or team up 2 on 2 on others. Play as your favorite Nintendo character. With the computer filling in for any missing players. The variety of gameboards keeps the game interesting.

Definitely a game to play with the family or group of friends."

third favorite wii game- I have 7   07/16/2008
By piggeh

Pros: great for children and young teens
Cons: takes a lot of time to get all of the mini games

"pretty cool game! I enjoy it, but would say it is more for the ages of six to fourteen. I think the mini games are fun, but you need a lot of time to unlock them all. great for parties, and will keep kids from being boared. I would recomend it as a good birthday gift."

Do yourself a favor & don't buy this   06/25/2008
By Gamerdude1090 from Alexandria, VA

Pros: lots of minigames, good multiplayer
Cons: boring sounds and music, lame minigames, boring maps, bad graphics, bad singleplayer

"I bought Mario Party 8 because I love Mario Party games. In Mario party 8 there is a variety of minigames, unfortunately the minigames really stink. The controls are good but all the games controls feel repetitive and boring. The graphics are under average compared to some games on wii. The sound effects and music sound like every other Mario Party game in existance. It's still fun to play with a friend on the couch but singleplayer is bad. This time they attempted a linear story mode that is horribly boring. The maps are boring and don't even come close to mario party 6's or 7's maps. This is one of the shorter reviews that I have written because I don't want to talk about a horrible game for more than a couple paragraphs. On a scale from 1-10 (10 being the highest) this game gets a 3.9"

Game that gets everyone involved   06/21/2008
By BCRaven05

Pros: Lots of mini games
Cons: Not the greatest solo game

"This game is fun with many mini games that utilize the wii motion controls. It is not as fun to play by yourself, so you will need family and friends around to truly enjoy the game."

Fun for the whole family!   06/04/2008
By frazier77 from Boonville, IN

Pros: Anyone can play this game
Cons: can get a bit boring if played over and over but still fun

"I bought my wii and didn't have many games at all.. wanted something I could play with friends when they visit.. Little did I know I would also be able to play with my 3 year old son too! My son enjoys this game as much as I do and he loves playing the "bad guys game" as he calls it..

This game doesn't take much skill at all but yet is interesting enough to keep parents and grandparents interested in it!

Nintendo did a good thing with the wii to get people up moving around.. but this game doesn't get you moving around.. can sit on the couch and play this one with ease.."

Mario keeps knockin them out of the park!   05/02/2008
By rekca from Seattle, wa

Pros: Fun for all ages
Cons: Haven't found one yet

"It is games like this that make me glad that the Wii exists. Mario and The Wii combined continue to surprise me at the fun interactive games they keep coming up with. There are so many mini games to play that you will never get bored. It is especially fun to play the 1 vs. 3 games when the 1 is ahead of every body else."

Fun at first   04/30/2008
By mango0322

Pros: Really fun with more than one person
Cons: After you beat the superstar, the game isn't fun

"This was the second game I bought and I loved it until I beat the SuperStar. Now, it's only fun if you're playing the board games with someone else. It's actually pretty easy to beat the Superstar as well."

Fun Kid's Game   04/30/2008
By Tate24 from Corpus Christi, TX

Pros: Interactive with multi-players
Cons: Gets repetative with just one player

"This game is fun and cute, and playing with more than one player is pretty entertaining, but if you're by yourself, it gets pretty boring after a while. I would play it with my younger cousins when they come over, but other than that, it's probably just going to sit on the shelf."
