Well im a huge fan of the Mario Party series, especially the old N64 ones. Unfortunatly nowadays the N64 versions of MP are rather rare, and will probably set you back about £15 regardless of whether you buy MP1, 2 or 3. When faced with this decision i purchased MP 2, as this was the one i had the most fondest memories of. Mario Party 2 is quite different from the other 2 MP's on the N64. For one its the only MP that makes you buy the mini-games featured in the game. The players character also changes apperance depending on the board you play on. MP2 was also the first in the series to contain the Battle, Item and Duel mini-games. It features 7 ... Read the complete review

Many people will ask themselves what the point is in playing a computer game that mimics a real-life board game. Its certainly true to say that games like Risk and Cluedo are much more fun to play with a board and pieces that you can actually touch. The likes of Snakes and Ladders, The Game of Life and other dice rolling games would similarly suffer from computerisation. With Mario Party 2 though I was surprised, largely due to all the innovative and addictive mini-games that are integral to the gameplay. Like its predecessor, Mario party 2 is a multiplayer game. OK, so you can play as a single player against 3 computer guys, and that’s certainly better than ... Read the complete review

I wish Mario was holding an actual party - I would love to see the portly plumber juking and jiving on the dance floor while sampling some of Luigi's bolognaise dip and playing pin the tail on the Yoshi! As it is, I guess we'll just have to make do with Mario Party 2, the follow-up to last years multiplayer classic. Many people were sceptical before the original was released, saying that the idea of a video game based on a board game simply couldn't be fun, and that Nintendo were exploiting the Mario name. Well, we know now that this was not the case (unless of course you don't like Mario Party), and so we can rejoice as Nintendo and developers Hudson ... Read the complete review

Just like a board game Mario Party 1 was great fun, so here is the new version, ‘originally’ titled Mario Party 2. If you never played the original, the game is very similar to a board game, you roll a virtual dice to take your turn and then whatever space you land on deems what happens. There are three types of space; blue, red and green. When all the players have taken one turn there is a mini game to be played; the type of game is defined by the colour space the players have landed on. If all the players have landed on the same colour a four player game is played, if one player has a different colour a one vs. three player game and if two ... Read the complete review

I have played 3 Mario Party games so far, this one, and numbers 4 and 5. Out of the three, I would definitley say that Mario Party 2 has the best mini-games. The game involves rolling a dice to see how many spaces you can move, and different spaces do different things. It can only be played with four characters at a time, and if you play alone you choose the difficulty level of the computer characters (easy, normal or hard). To begin with you have the following boardgames to choose from: Horror Land, Pirate Land, Western Land, Space Land and Mystery Land. Later in the game you unlock Bowser Land. What I liked about the different boards was that the ... Read the complete review
