    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.

    There's not really all that much new content in Mario Party 6 save for the microphone novelty, but in the end the final product feels more polished and enjoyable than both previous efforts released on the GameCube.

    Six boards and four gameplay modes give players plenty of options and hours of non-stop partying. [Feb 2005, p.113]

    Multiplayer mode is a blast, however single-player mode is useless when compared to the aforementioned.

    Not the greatest party ever. This series is in desperate need of a fresh injection of originality. [NGC]
  6. Da Gameboyz

    Truly a multiplayer game that should be experienced by more than one person.

    Offers too much tedium and not nearly enough fun, mic or no mic.

    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 arguablyIf 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!    … Expand
