The board game is still essentially a dice powered foot race. The boss fights were a step in the right direction, but the rules of the game itself need to be refreshed. However for what it is it's great.
Its wide variety of game modes and options lets you create a multiplayer gaming experience to suit any time frame, and the huge number of mini-games sets a very high, very consumer-friendly bar.

The game has so much personality and fantastic minigames. The boards are amazing, the story is refreshing and the game... so much addictive! Really great and is filled with entertainment and creativity. This mario party game is perfect for portable gaming experiences that you will never forget

If you want a template for how to provide a top value party game, this is as good a place to start as any. [Issue#17, p.88]
The number and quality of the mini-games makes Mario Party DS an easy recommendation to fans of the series.
Mario Party DS does a better job at retreading the core concept, however tired it may be, than last summer’s Mario Party 8. Barring a complete shakeup of the series, this seems to be the most we can hope for at this point.
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.
If you're one of those who has enjoyed the series on console, you'll enjoy it on DS. Otherwise, steer clear.
Mario Party DS has fun and challenging minigames that will keep you playing. Sometimes it can be TO hard but it does remind me of the N64 and GC Mario Party games.

While the platform made it hard to play with other people, unlike the party games on a tv console, still a fun time with addicting mini games.

I actually remember despising this game as a kid. I remember it was super boring and was not fun at all unless you played multiplayer. Well I revisited it recently and it is bad. Get the Wii version instead. 3/10 (poor)

The game is kind of boring, the graphics aren't that good, the story is extremely repetitive, the minigames are unoriginal, and the Boss Minigames are hard, except for the second and third ones.

Summary You'd think years of defeat would get to a guy, but Bowser just doesn't give up! He's captured Mario and his friends in his pursuit of a crystal that the group collected when it fell from the sky, and he doesn't hesitate to shrink them to miniature size to get rid of them and get his hands on the other four crystals. The mini-heroes have...
