THE GOOD:The graphics. Multiplayer, and Super Duel mode.
THE BAD:
Mini-games, gameplay is good when you first play it but, it gets boring and repitive.
SUMMARY:
Graphics 8/10 Its the same as Mario Party 4's graphics, its good enough. Nothing special for the graphics though.
Multiplayer 9/10 The multiplayer keeps me from not liking this game. Its similar to Mario Party 4's multiplayer. IMO
Story 4/10 The story isn't good. Bowser trying to take over all the boards you play in sounds intresting at first but, the story doesn't advance through out the game.
Mini-games 3/10 All you do in most of them is you have to get the best score or press the same button(s) They don't require skill just like the ones in Mario Party 4 and others.
Super Duel Mode 7/10 In this mode you can collect points (You get them by playing mini-games) and exchange them for parts for a vehicle. You can use it against your friend's custom vehicle. This idea is fun at first but, it just gets boring.
Gameplay 6/10 All you have to do in story mode is get the Kid Boswer's coin count to zero. The gameplay in the normal mode is similar to previous Mario Parties. Which is ok.
Overall 5/10 This game just wasn't good. The graphics, multiplayer, and Super Duel Mode kept me from not liking this game. I recommend that you rent this game.
