What is there to say? If you've played most of the previous Mario Party titles, you know what to expect from this DS game - running your favorite Nintendo characters around a game board and playing mini-games.
Overall, Nintendo did a superb job putting a 3D Mario Party title on the DS. The boards are entertaining, and the mini-games are new and unique, except for the occasional game here and there. These new games can utilize the button set, touch screen, microphone, or any combination of the three.
Perhaps the best feature of this game is the single-pack multiplayer functionality. Up to four people can play full games off of one game pack, and the loading times are relatively small. As per usual, though, each player will need his or her own DS system. Of course, this game can also be played alone. There is a storyline to follow, and the other players will be NPCs.
As with any previous Mario Party title, this game is hard on your equipment. This is something to keep in mind if you are concerned with the longevity of your DS system. Many games include pressing "A" repeatedly as fast as you can or other similar repetitions, and may end up wearing out your buttons and touch screen relatively faster than other titles.
When all is considered, this is a great multiplayer game and a great addition to the Mario Party line-up. Gameplay and replay value are up to par with the others, but the background music and sounds will get annoying after a while. If you are a Mario Party fan, check this title out.
My Ratings:
Sound 2/5
Graphics 5/5
Storyline 2/5
Replay Value 5/5
Overall 3/5
