Advantages: great boards, gameplay

Disadvantages: none

Mario party 2 had big shoes to fill, but did so quite well. Everything here was great, including some of the best boards in the entire mario party series. The boards here required a lot more strategy than in the previous mario party, which really makes playing the multiplayer more fun. You need to think how you can mess up your opponent without messing up yourself. For example, in the Western Land board, you can pass a Saloon and gather everyone together for a hootenanny, which brings everyone to the same spot. If you see someone nearing a star, it would be a good idea to bring them to that spot so the star is out of reach.

The mini-games are a blast, and the addition of items makes this game fun. There are mostly new mini-games, but some are taken from the original Mario party.

Overall, this game did a good job at keeping the Mario Party Series going strong. It is just as fun as the first one, and now that it is becoming more complex, it actually has strategy involved. This game never gets old, so you and your friends will have fun playing this for a long time to come.
