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.
Just as polished as the rest of the series, striking just the right balance between familiar and fresh material. [Feb 2005, p.99]

Most of the new features in Mario Party 6 add little to the overall experience, so it's hard to recommend the game to owners of either previous GameCube entry to the series. However, if you're a hardcore fan of the series, the sixth game may be enticing as an expansion pack of new mini-games, which are abundant.
Multiplayer mode is a blast, however single-player mode is useless when compared to the aforementioned.
A step in the right direction. It makes the generally boring board portion of the game more interesting with the addition of the strategic Orbs and the day and night shifts. It does not completely solve the past games' problems, but I'll take what I can get.
The mini-games still remain a treat for four players, and the use of a microphone is a smart idea, and comes in handy at points. However, the game's single player mode remains a letdown, and the graphics and sound come across as a rerun.
If you have a GameCube or Nintendo Wii, and want a fun, addictive party game to play with friends and/or family, Mario Party 6 is arguably your best bet. The boards are beautiful and all have their own identity, the minigames are fun and addictive, and it also introduces new elements to keep the Mario Party experience fresh, including new gameplay styles, a Day-Night system and a refreshed orb system.
There are also a lot of side modes, including Solo Cruise (if you have nobody to play with), and Mic Mode. My favourite side mode has to be Speak Up - it is set up just like a game show and has a variety of different types of questions.
As you can see, there is A LOT of content in this game, but none of it feels like filler. It is a great party game which will entertain both lone players and big groups for hours!

This game, although overrated, is still a great multiplayer experience and after the mediocre Mario Party 5, they took out the garbage (60% of the game), and replaced it with a fun day and night mechanic that never feels gimmicky.

Probably arguably the most important Mario party game. It is game changing and maybe even revolutionary for the genre it is defining. However, it is not the best Mario because it did not feel real. No alive. I cannot comprehend. I think if I had to sum it up they really messed up the controls for this game. And they messed them up until mario party 8 but that one was good. They know what they were doing. But not quite.

Don't look at me, just giving this overrated ahh game a lower score. Seriously, y'all are obsessed with this game.

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 characte...
