A keeper for sure - great group game.

Reviewed in the United States on June 19, 2009

I'm not a lifelong gamer - the Wii is the first gaming system I've ever owned and I have a 6 year old and a 9 year old son. So I don't know about the long history of Mario games - I've certainly heard of Mario, but the Mario franchise is new to me. So I was a little nervous buying into the game - would I have to know all sorts of back story to play it? No, not a bit.

The game format is simple. Up to four players (living or computer) can play a board game in which you roll dice (the Wii remote), move around a board and play little 1 minute mini games to earn prizes. The goal is usually to collect Stars but how you do that changes from game to game. Games can last for 10-50 turns (a typical 10 turn game is about 30 minutes), and players can be handicapped (so I can let the kids start out with two extra stars and then play as well as I want to, as I try to beat them).

The mini games are pretty fun - everyone has their favorites and everyone has games that they hate. The mini games get picked at random, so you never know what you'll get. One thing I love is that you can practice a game before you play it for real. So when friends come over, they have a chance to see how the game is played before jumping in and getting their butts kicked by my kids (who have played many times). It's a great leveling field. The games are also designed to have a fair bit of randomness in them (a few of the games are completely luck). While there's skill, you can still see that luck plays a role and when you've got a 40-year old vs. a 6-year old that's a really good thing.

The game boards feature different game goals and scenes. The boys like the variety: ghosts in a spooky house, dolphins on the beachside, a space station. And you can make the computer players as smart or as dumb as you want, so there's a lot of room to create a game that everyone will enjoy. Also, while it's really great as a group game you can play alone - my 6 year old likes to practice by himself and will give himself a smart computer partner so that he can kick butt.

We've really enjoyed it and I've purchased it as a gift, too. I wouldn't hesitate to buy it again - it's a keeper.

Game was brand new, in plastic wrap, disk was scratch free and in perfect condition which adds to the validity of it being a new game in my opinion. If it was refurbished, it was excellently done.

The Last Mario Party Before the Big Changes

Reviewed in the United States on July 3, 2014

Verified Purchase

With the 8th installment in the long running Mario Party series, comes a lot of familiarity that we've been accustomed to. A bit has changed since this game marks the first Mario Party for Wii, but nothing too difficult to learn. The controls are easy. The Wiimote is all you need to play any of the games. As any Mario Party veteran will tell you, the object of the game is to collect more stars than your opponents in order to win. The single player part of the game, Star Battle, gives you certain guidelines for each course, up until you reach the final level to defeat Bowser. And of course, the local multiplayer is present. If you don't feel like being confined to a course, so to speak, you can go inside the Museum and play the minigames directly with friends, provided you've unlocked them either through single player play or by purchasing them with the Party Cards you've won through any of the game's modes.

I've owned/played this game before Mario Party 9 and if I were to pick between the two, I'd pick 9 over 8. The only advantages 8 has over 9, in my opinion, would be the minigames. They are very fun and require you to move the Wiimote a lot more than you would in 9. I find it more interactive as well. The different levels of the game, however, aren't nearly as interactive as they are in 9. I don't want to sound like I'm pulling Mario Party 8 apart because I really do enjoy this game, but if you're only looking to buy/play for nostalgic purposes (or, for those of you that have beaten every version of the games in the previous installments and want to conquer this one as well) you should pick this one up first before Mario Party 9. I've learned upon purchasing 9 that it's a bit confusing and maybe even more difficult to play 8. The controls and rules are dramatically changed and one may be put off immediately.

All in all, as a stand alone game, Mario Party 8 brings a lot of fun in it's price tag. It's a great party game and I think it appeals to both younger kids and adults as well. If you're one of the customers that bought and played Mario Party 9 and want to know if it's worth it, I'd probably push you away from 8 only because it's a different feel that only veterans of the series are used to. Still, Mario Party is Mario Party, a plethora of minigames that will challenge you to pay attention and play.

It's no N64 .. but still fun !

Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2016

Verified Purchase

I wanted to get my son a Mario Party game since that was one that I played my entire childhood. I still remember playing on the Nintendo 64 with my cousins and having hand cramps from playing so long and so hard. This .. not so much of being the same. I really enjoyed the game and the variety of games on the verses challenges but there are a couple things I would change. The main change I would make is to the mini game set that you play when you land on your solo game challenge. Every time I have landed on that space it is always between the same 3 games .. and that gets kind of boring. I'm not sure if it is just me and maybe there is a setting that I haven't changed so I'm still working on it. But if it isn't something that I can change and I'm stuck with only 3 games .. it will really stink. My son really enjoys the game and its a little more intense because you have to more your hands, body, etc. So needless to say, we have spent many, many nights playing Mario Party together. He will unfortunately never know how it feels to have a slight burn in the middle of his hand from moving a N64 joystick around to win .. but we definitely enjoy our time playing with one another.

This product was a personal purchase for myself at the normal retail price. I am reviewing it solely because I want to share my experience with other potential customers. I have received no compensation for my review nor do I have any relationship with the seller or manufacturer of this product.

The game is good and there’s no scratches. However the game is only in English ( French Canadian guy here! ), but I presume it’s Nintendo’s problem. So if you don’t care if it’s in English, go for it! Super good!
Le jeu est bon et il n’y a pas de rayures. Cependant, le jeu n'est qu'en anglais ( Français Canadien ici! ), Mais je suppose que c’est le problème de Nintendo. Si jouez en anglais ne vous dérange pas, alors c’est bien! Aucun problème avec le jeu.

cracking family fun

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 22, 2010

I dont usually write reviews but want to share my thoughts. I originally purchased this item not fully understanding what it was about just went along with the whole Mario thing.

At first I didnt really rate the game, its in board game style and there is no need to even move your own character however, I stuck with it, started to understand the aim of each section within the game, and even started to love the candy actions which at first I just couldnt get my head around.

All in all I have now had this game for several months, I normally trade a game in after a couple of months but not this game. Its very easy especially when you get the nack of the mini games within it, yet great fun. I absolutely love it, especially on a Sunday afternoon because it requires little brain power, even little effort not having to move your own character.

If you are looking for a game with good graphics that the whole family can play and you are fan of Mario I would recommend! Im never trading mine in, well at least until Mario Party 9 comes out.
