4.0 out of 5 stars Remoting The Party, May 25, 2007

By	Michael Kerner "Michael Kerner" (Brooklyn, New York U.S.A.) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER)

With all the hype and excitement over the latest chapter in the Mario Party franchise, and its debut for the Nintendo Wii, many gamers wonder if it is worth it. They'll find out not just when they play the game, but with this guide from Prima. The guide for Mario Party 8 is a simple and easy to use guide that highlights all the 70+ minigames and unlockables, including hidden characters like Blooper. The maps here are detailed nicely, and shows how simple it is to play each of the games with the Wii remote. While there hasn't been a strategy guide for the Mario Party franchise since Mario Party 5 on the Gamecube, this is well worth the hype. I definitely recommend this as a must buy for new Wii owners, and Mario Party fans alike. Party on!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Not really necessary for game enjoyment, July 11, 2008

By	Delamaine "Reading" (Seattle Eastside) - See all my reviews

What else can I say? The games are good, the mini-games are fun, the graphics are great, but there's no real need for a player's guide. Still, some people feel the need to own all game guides...If this is your style, don't hesitate to buy it. We have all the Mario Parties for the GC, GBA, DS and now this one...but we won't be buying any more guides for the various MP games.

4.0 out of 5 stars big kid, April 6, 2008

By	Eric Neal (california) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

this is a great game not only for kids, but for adults too. My wife and I play this game with our 5 and 7 year old all the time, we enjoy it as much as they do. The only thing that we dislike about it is that we cant seem to figure out how to open a new board or open up new characters and the book doesn't explain how. Maybe some day we will figure it out.
