THE GOOD:Mario Party 5 really forces fun down your throat. Everything is joyous and colorful and wonderful and magical in the dream realm where this board/action game hybrid takes place, and various talking stars tell you how to play the game. You will love it—because it is joyous and colorful and wonderful and magical, and you are ordered to love it! The single-player Story mode has been improved (mainly by consolidating the A.I. turns and speeding things up), but it's not as much fun as two-on-two team games. Actually, four live people is the only way to go—there are so many random elements (twists of fate, stolen items, funky power-ups) that strategy almost doesn't matter.
THE BAD:
I thought the boards were small and very easy to get stars on and the story mode was horrible as usual for the mario party series.
SUMMARY:
Great game and hope you buy it.
