  • Summary: Mario Party 6 offers a new batch of games that require both your fingers and your voice. In this installment in the Mario Party series, you can use the included microphone controller to talk your way to victory. More than 80 minigames are included. You can play as Mario, Bowser, or other characters from the Mushroom Kingdom. New characters appear on the board depending on what time of day it is. The game supports up to four players. Expand

    On their own they pose no real threat to players of average skill, but pit four such players against one another and watch the tension grow.
  2. Do not play this game alone or with one other person. It just isn't that fun when you don't have a minimum of three or the ideal four players for the game. This is a party game, and no one likes someone who likes to party alone.
  3. The implementation of the microphone peripheral is a huge misstep, but a limited number of players may still manage to eke some enjoyment out of its inclusion.
  4. Offers too much tedium and not nearly enough fun, mic or no mic.

    I love the game I got it for Christmas it is so cool I love it so much!!!
  2. A fun game that once you start you can't stop. great game its good for parys (obvioulsy) or just play on yourself against bots! whatever you do just get it, its family fun! Expand
  3. I have to admit this is a really good game when it comes to a family game night, but anything else is just a little boring. The star bank, the day and night system is absolutely creative if you think about it, but the boards could have been a bit bigger. Expand

    What happened to Mario Party? The first game was decent, and the others (save for this) are mediocre. This one is pathetic. The lack of entertainment is what kills this title. There is nothing to do except to wait for your turn only to realize that you aren't going to have any fun when your turn finally does arrive. And the sound is terrible. And, as Craven M. said, the graphics jump off the screen. At least I wished they would have. This game looks terrible! There is no polish in the visuals whatsoever. Almost everything about this game is abysmal. Avoid. Expand
