Anyone else got Mario Party 8?

Well then, you're pretty much a Toolbox.

That is a really stupid reason not to play it.

What about Wario Ware...

"The elephant"

The Mario Party series sucks even without the Wii remote usage.

Well, my friend (newtkid304) rented it and I went over to his house and played it, (for 7 1/2 hours, oh yeah!) and it was great1 It's lost a bit of the magic though, like making all of the items into candy, which may have been done earlier. I don't know if it has because I haven't played 4, 5, 6, or 7 because I don't have a gamecube and rarely play one. But in Mario Party 2 and 3, they use actual items, which I like better. The board maps are also getting less exciting I think. They couldn't just stick to the simple star pads?! They have to make you invest in hotels, steal them from other players, etc. The only reason I like it is because of the many characters and the nice extras.

My little brother just got it, and I think it's a lot of fun, although, i haven't played any of the others.

I think the wii remote really makes the game much more fun and addictive. And although all the mini games are really short, there are so many, you hardly play the same one twice. And actually I like the board games, even though it's almost totally luck, this game is a lot of fun, though I still prefer Wario Ware.

in 5, 6, and 7 items are "orbs", and then in one of them they call the items "capsules" , we're not stupid we know that they are the same thing...


About the boards having different objectives and strategies... if you've played the gamecube ones, you can tell that a sequel isn't much different when its the same game over and over with different maps, they tried to spice it up a little bit, althoguh they already did the investment sort of thing with this windmill level I think in mario party 6, I don't remember which one.

One thing I like is the different camera angles, if you play mario party 4, it kind of reminds you of the stale 1 direction camera, that can only pan, like luigi's mansion had

The Wii remote hurts as much as it helps.

I got it. It's a really fun game, Star Battle is hell though.

bought it
played it
loved it
but no second controller for me
so its better with friends or family members.....

I just beat Star Battle today (as Boo) and I must admit that was awesome. Out of all of them, Perplex Express is still my favorite.

Rented it. It sucks

Rented it.
It's nothing special in my opinion.
But it certainly gave me some fodder for new comics based on it (freaky-deaky Vampire Peach, for example).

Got it yesterday. Havn't played yet. My Wii's at my mom's house.

I got it, thought it was pretty good. I haven't played Mario Party before though

It might be just me, but I think they got different voice actors for a some key characters.

Anyone notice how ugly the character models got? Seriously, they're WORSE then the GCN ones. Not to mention they only have three poses.

Winning. Losing. Standing still.


It's Mario Party 1 all over again.

I noticed that Birdo's head got really skinny. It's the worst when she's staring right at you.

It was 7 with windmills and the only difference with hotels is that they chnge size.
The pirate goomba I think was like the level where you give kung foo koopa or whatever his name coins for stars. The bowser level is like the chain chomp levels.

The new candy thing sounds interesting, only due to the fact when they are used it actually changes the character's look, perhaps that's why there's so few poses then? I might miss the fact that many of the spaces would have stuff on them though, as the orbs/capsules could be tossed on the board so whoever stepped on it got the effect, good or bad.
