Mario Party (N64)

Mario Party is one of my favourite multiplayer games. I wouldn't say that it beats the likes of Goldeneye and Perfect Dark but it certainly isn't far behind. The game really is good fun just on your own or with friends, the latter being the more fun option. First though the single player. This mode sets you on a journey with many mini-games laid in front of you. Only when you complete these mini-games can you travel past them. The board is also split into worlds containing different types of game and also different difficulties of games. The mini-games are only short and wither give you a certain amount of time to complete a task or beat other computer ...  Read the complete review

This game kept us busy at university while we should have been studying for our exams. Great concept, but as others have mentioned, it is best played in groups of 3 or 4. The minigames are of varying quality - but some, such as Castaways (where you use a fishing rod to catch coins floating across the screen) and the Bobsled Run (no explanation needed) are major points of competition. The gamesboards are beautifully designed, with all kinds of twists and turns. Before you start a new game, you can choose a gameboard which most suits the length of game and difficulty you prefer. Some boards are well suited to a short game, some you will want to devote a ...  Read the complete review

Lets all have a Party! Or not, ok I loved Mario Party it has a certain charm to it, playing as Mario and chums in another original Nintendo game which has sparked of many others such as Sonic Shuffle and Rugrats was a joy. For the first two weeks. Basically it is a board game and you end up playing hundreds of mini games and by winning you get further etc… The idea is good and the game is fun but soon the novelty wears off. Like other some other games you say you love it but it sits in the back of your cupboard for weeks, then months and finally you forget you even have it! It is also a multiplayer game, if you don’t tend to have friends round to ...  Read the complete review

Out of the entire series, this is the best Mario Party there! My friend's mother bought this game when it first came out, and my friends and I thought this was the best game ever (except for Frank who thought it was a Kindergarten game). For those of you who don't know anything about the Mario Party Series, it's pretty simple. In Multiplayer, all you have to do is get the most stars to win the game. You can purchase stars for 20 coins, and you achieve coins by winning mini-games or by landing on blue spaces in the map. The rules of the game are easy. You role a di, and move alon the board that many spaces. If you land on a blue space, ...  Read the complete review

The mario party series - brilliant, but this game is still the best of all the games. The game is basically a board game, where you control a typical mario character such as mario, yoshi, toad etc, and try and get to the Star space where you can buy a start for 20 coins. However after everyone has thrown, you enter a minigame, which can be 1 vs 3 2vs 2 or 1v1v1v1 and you use these minigames to try and win extra coins so at the end you can earn more stars for such awards as having the most minigame wins and the most coins etc. The minigames are of an excellent variety and games such as bumper ball get very competitive where you can use tactics to get the ...  Read the complete review
