How Metascores Are Calculated
|
Just in time for those long winter nights comes The Main Man himself (i.e., Mario) with fistfuls of all new games that are guaranteed to keep you mashing and mouthing (more later) 'til the break of dawn. Literally. The game features a unique day/night feature. As the sun rises and sets, boards transform, characters emerge from hiding and much more. Feautres more than 80 minigames. As the day changes, you'll get all-new games! Talk to victory in select minigames via the included microphone Controller. Polished graphics, state-of-the-art sound and the usual hijinks of Mario and friends (and troublemakers like Bowser) will convert even certified wallflowers into 24-hour party people. [Nintendo]

A nice multiplayer game for newbies and veterans alike. It is simple yet suitably challenging. The microphone-based minigames are hilarious. But where is marioke? [Apr. 05]

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.

If you've never been a fan of the series, or if you are deprived of living, breathing friends, this latest version won't win you over. On the other hand, if you're a Mario Party devotee surrounded with human companionship, Mario Party 6 will offer hours of entertainment and a satisfying way to spend a social evening.

If you are not familiar with the long-running series then Mario Party 6 is definitely the game to get. It does contain plenty of new features for longtime fans as well. [May 2005, p 81]

The new microphone-based minigames are more gimmicky than fun, and I hate passing the mic back and forth. It's still a fun party game. [Feb 2005, p.114]

Playing against the AI is tedious and boring in the extreme. [Feb 2005, p.117]

games(TM)
Feeling somewhat bland against some of its predecessors, Mario Party 6’s games come off as lacking in skill, not to mention creativity; the coating may look different, but the core concepts are incredibly repetitive. [Feb 2005, p.106]
