I will be reviewing the last made Mario Party game and will mark each category from 0-5, 5 being best
Story: 3
Well, it's certainly different. Brighton and Twila get in a fight over who is better and you must collect a bunch of Stars to stop them. For all who this annoys, blame Brighton as he started it
Graphics: 4
The graphics are awesome and everything seems so… so real. I find that this game has some of the best graphics in the MP series.
Characters: 5
A large variety now including Toadette.
I must say though the voice's could be much better. There is also Brighton
and Twila, the sun and moon, and it even has E. Gadd
so it gets a high score.
Difficulty: 3
This isn't to hard! The only way it gets that high is because of a few mini-games.
Party Mode: In Party Mode you start by picking how many human and computer players join, then pick characters and difficulty levels, pick a board, select bonus or no bonus (extra Stars given out at the end), and then start the game. Once you are on the board you selected, each player hits a die and will then move the number of spaces shown. The main idea to to try to move to and purchases Stars and win. There is a mini-game after each round every turn. This is the top notch area of the game. I will rate each board.
Towering Treetops: 2
It is as described (great for beginners)
and I highly recommend you only go there if you like a wooden slide, acorn
swing, zip line, fluff flying, and a sneezing tree.
E. Gadd's Garage: 4
This has tons of fun things (I let
a few ha-ha's lose when some of them occur). There is a coin-sucking fan,
teleporters, an orb launcher, spinning floor, conveyor belts and more.
Faire Square: 1
NO GOOD AT ALL. You go to the middle
and buy up to five Stars (this can drag you ahead and behind more quickly),
and at night Twila just has to alter the Star price (I got 5 coins some
times and 50 coins at others). There is no ha-ha good fun stuff here.
Snowflake Lake: 5
Yes, my type of board (snow and ice)!
You start with five Stars and must use Chomps to steal from opponents.
This can be a waste as you must roll a die and move that far, sometimes
resulting in you not even getting a Star but losing 20 coins. Besides this
problem, it's quite entertaining.
Castaway Bay: 4
Yay multi-backround features (harbor,
mountain, forest, light house)! The idea is to go around and go aboard
Dk's boat (no, not Bowser's) to get a Star. It is really sort of amnoying
as you start from space 1 each time you get a Star... or not.
Clockwork Castle: 3
IT COSTS 100 STARS!!! This a board
where you must chase DK and run from Bowser for Stars. They each roll dice,
making it harder to catch up and run away.
Solo Mode: 0
Solo Mode is sorta like Party Mode but the boards are too short. There are no Stars on the board but their handed out in the end. I got 63 Stars once so it’s obvious that people should like the place.
This is mode is stupid, though. There
are three super-short boards with 15, 25, and
31 spaces so I'm going to say only
go here because you get a load of Stars
for finishing it properly. To do that
you must land on the last space on the board, never passing it, and using
Sluggish Shrooms and Cursed Mushrooms to aid in the process.
Mic-Mode :4
Now this is good. There are three areas, one is a quiz show, another is where you call commands to get your player through an obstacle course, and best of all, there are several fun mini-games
Star Bank: 0
No good, just buy stuff here. What you can buy is a spoiler, so find out ourself.
Mini-Game Mode:
AWESOME! You can do Decathlon Park, Treetop Bingo, Mini-Game Tour Bus, Mini-Game Bridge, and a special mode you can buy. Mini-Game Tour Bus is where the real fun is. Pick and play any mini-game you’ve played before. In Decathlon Park you compete in ten games specific mini-games and earn points for your performance. Treetop Bingo is where you win mini-games and pick numbers on your tree-top until you complete the number of rows you selected. Mini-Game Bridge is where you compete to see who can win 3, 5, or 7 games first.
4 vs 4 games are the main ones, as there
are more than 20 of them,
all unique and fun. 1 vs 3 games are
uncommon and the thing is if you’re playing
as one team against another on the
board these games will not come up. 2 vs 2
games is an interesting set as 95%
of the time they show up when you team up on
boards. Battle games rarely show up
in Party Mode, and it's not always good
as you pay before you play. Duel games
are 1 on 1 games where you bet Star
or coins and the winner gets it all.
My favorite in each category is: 4 vs 4 - Snow Whirled; 1 vs 3 - Snow Brawl; 2 vs 2 - Gondola Glide; Battle - Wrestling Rapids; Duel - Boo'd Off the Stage. I recommend you play these a lot as these are the only ones that don't get boring
All in all, each mode here is fun and the mini-games rule.
Sound: 5+
YES, AN AMAZING THING @ I love the music for Rocky Road and Snow Whirled... I like those mini-games as well But all the music is good.
Replayability: 4
It’s Mario Party so you can easily replay and have a good time, so jolly good show, dear boy.
Overall: 81.5%
This game has its good points and the bad (Options and Star Bank), but still I highly recommend you get it if you can afford it.
