Mario Party (DS)

My daughter was showing me how to play Mario Party on her DS over Christmas. I wasn't that impressed with the Wii version so I didn't really want to be playing the same game on her DS. Bless her heart though as I don't think she has seen her DS for the last week in the evenings as I have been playing the game myself and have now almost completed it. During this time I have looked like a fool (read on), and had odd looks from my partner, but hey I've enjoyed myself. ** What is Mario Party? ** Contrary to the title, Mario Party isn't a game especially for more than one player.

When I was first given this game I absolutely loved it and found all of the mini games extremely fun and interesting but after a while I began to get irritated by the fact that a lot of the game was down to luck and landing on certain tiles on the game board.

But other than that this game is so much fun to play and ...  Read the complete review

This game is superbly original and is perfect for all the family. Coming from Nintendo and the Mario franchise, it has alot of expectations, and it meets them all. It is like bringing abit of the wii onto the DS as it fully uses the multiplayer features.
