What's great about it: Young kids enjoy it
What's not so great: Adults won't

"A simple game to play that is catered to young kids. My 5 and 4 year olds love it. Good harmless fun. Lots to see and do but for the most part, pretty boring for anyone over the age of 10."

What's great about it: Great for family game night
What's not so great: Long gameplay

"Mario Party 8 is a game ideal for a family 4 (or 5) with 4 Wii controllers and a couple of hours of alloted playing time. The game is fun, the graphics are great with lots of different mini-games. Younger players at not necessarily at a disadvantage since moving around the "board" is diced-based and some mini-games don't need special skills. In the end, bonus stars are given to players who reached certain achievements (spent the most, used the most candy, stopped most on a space of a particular color) -- so you can unexpectedly end up winning even if you didn't get the most stars.

It's been months since we played this game as a family after we moved on to Mario Kart Wii and now Rock Band and Guitar Hero. But Mario Party 8 was (and still is) a good game to play once in a while.

What's not so great: Nothing

"I dont understand all of the negative reviews on this game. I think it is a great game just to pick up and play with the family. The graphics on this game surpass any other Mario Party game. Maybe I just like the game a lot because I have been a fan ever since N64. You should get this game if you like to have fun."

What's great about it: Many games to chose from
What's not so great: Graphics, Games are easy, Stupid without 4 people, and only 2 games that i even like a litlle bit...

"This game was one of the first games I bought with my Wii, because the Commercial made it look very convincing... but don't let the commercial fool you. This game doesn't have very many good games. Maybe for kids 10 and under. Then I would recommend it but i'm 13 and I think this is a waste of money. But still would recommend it to kids 10 and under..."

What's great about it: Mini games are a fun challenge
What's not so great: No widescreen 16:9 ratio for the game boards

"Having owned and played the previous Mario Partys on my gamecube, i was hoping to be blown out of the water with the wii version. But i wasn't. I was hoping for more game boards and a better variety of mini games. Not having the 16:9 ration during game play makes it difficult to see even on a 46" tv. All in all, i am still a huge Mario party fan and i look forward to a much better and widescreen version on Marty party 9!"

What's great about it: Lots of interactive minigames
What's not so great: After you beat it you it's really boring

"This game came with the wii console I got and it was really fun at first. It wasn't very hard to beat this game 100% because it's for kids but if you're older it's pretty easy to beat it. Every time you beat something you get carnival cards to buy things with, but once you buy everything you just keep getting carnival cards and there's nothing to do with them. I think nintendo should have put more thought into this game."
