    This game offers portable parties in the car. In my opinion, this is the best of the Mario Party titles with its great boss minigames, smooth controls, and a truckload of unlockables and bonus content.

    I recommend this to everyone who likes Mario. It's basically about 5 crystals that bowser fights over and the Mario heroes try to get them before he does. it's actually a great, great games. The graphics are so awesome! It's like the NINTENDO 64. It's just so great and entertaining. The music is so catchy, just so great for people who love to listen to music. The gameplay is also nice sometimes it could get abit challenging. Overall, I give it a 9/10 and Hudson should be really proud of how much effort was put into it.

    The mini games where addicting and I just love playing as toad. Playing it like monopoly is cool. Thumbs up for Nintendo. The graphics are so lovely. The music is soothing.

    Like any Mario Party, this one's harmless fun, and it's especially worthwhile if you've got a group of friends and don't have to deal with the cheating computer. But the repetitiveness and shallow, luck-based gameplay just further drive home why the wacky, dynamic WarioWare has been crowned Nintendo's real party king.

    A solid multiplayer mini-game experience with a lot of the flaws of the previous versions. It doesn't do anything truly special than create a bunch of touch screen and microphone-centric minigames (and even then we've seen variations of them in other DS titles), but it at least comes together as a better title than the last console Mario Party design.

    Best of all, the developers have made it so that you need only a single cartridge to get a party going with as many as four people.
