Wii Party for Wii Reviews by Gamers

It's like Mario Party 8 except without all the hassle of getting coins, stars and what not. If you like mini games, clever games, and unique games that utilize the wii-motes features this is for you! It's fun as a one player game. Even better with friends and family. Recommend you try it for yourself and be the judge. Too much fun!

Mini is the name of the game. With only 1 level for classic board game play, the game is comprised of many little mini games. While this game is pretty fun to play, for single play, it can be boring, with two people, you could kill about 2 hours if you're dedicated. This game is specifically a party game, no doubt about it. With four people playing, you'll get the maximum enjoyment out of the game. If you don't have 4 people, it'll see the shelf more often than not after your first few days of playing it. I rated 7 because it really doesn't have the playability of something like Mario Party 8 in single player. My friends and I work, so it's not like we have everynight to play it, and my GF only wants to play for a limited time. Online play would have made some features great. I can't really say anything negative about the actual games themselves. The push for teamwork is fun, and overall the whole thing is a great idea. I believe I share many peoples opinion when I say I'm still waiting for mario party 9. Many of the features in this game would be extremely great in MP9.
If you rent this, make sure you plan ahead, because this game only reaches its full potential with maximum players. Also, makes a nice drinking game if you're of age.
