Mario Party 8 for Wii Reviews by Gamers

How is it different from past Mario Parties:
1 - Games use the wiimote
2 - You can use credits to unlock games that can be played using your Miis.

That's about it. Hudsonsoft has kept the same formula for 7 sequels, and I can't really blame them. Has Monopoly changed over the years? No! It's fine the way it is, why change it!?

My only gripe is the fact that the games aren't widescreen. Some people say that the graphics aren't very good, and they're right; but who buys Mario Party 8 for the graphics!?

If you have friends, buy this game. If not, then pass, cuz it's not much of a one-player game.

Mario Party has been one of the greatest series that Nintendo has released for its consoles. Unfortunately (for me) this edition does not live up to the hype of bringing the series to the Wii. I'm not saying this game is completely boring and unoriginal. It keeps you entertained for about 2-3 times you play through it. The motion sensing based minigames get old quick and too repetitive. There isn't much you do with the wiimote to make it intuitive. This game's worth checking out, but not a keeper.
