Mario Party 2 (N64) Reviews

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 ...  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 ...  Read the complete review

The graphics in MP2 are much improved over the first MP. The characters move more, move much faster, and act more interactive.In the mini-games, they will yell more often, and have many different expressions on their faces. What's better, they all don't move the same way. They each walk their own way, which is a good addition. The best ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  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 ...  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; ...  Read the complete review

I would have to say that "Mario Party 2" is great, but it's not as good as the first one was. In this game, you play with the same characters and you have 5 worlds to beat. Unlike the original, in this one, when you play 2-player, everybody's (even the computer's) stars count in your favor. The only problem is that the game ...  Read the complete review

Like a lot of Nintendo 64 games, Mario Party 2 is perhaps a little bit babyish for a big audience. In the game you go round different boards in the 'quest' for stars. Whoever has the most stars at the end wins. Not a very exciting core of a game you may be thinking, but that is only half of the game. Within ...  Read the complete review
