 Returned after one day September 19, 2008
I heard a lot about this game and was very excited to finally buy it. Unfortunately, i was extremely disappointed with it. The game was very boring and after about an hour of repetition, we gave up. We returned the game the following day.
 Mario Party 8 for Wii September 17, 2008
I bought this game at the request of my grandson and he had played it at a friends house. He only wants to play this game and he won't take the disc out of the Wii. He is only 6 yrs old but he has mastered the games one by one. He loves to play "Mario Party 8" with his 5 yr old sister, mostly because he's teaching her how to play. He has had "play dates" with classmates where he "teaches" his friends how to play! He loves it! So I love it!
Fun game! September 16, 2008
This game is a lot of fun for up to four people. It's a little bit sad if you have five or six people, though, and someone has to get left out. Each game takes a while, so if you do have extra people, they'd have to wait about an hour before you can rotate. You could also hand the remote back and forth during the game, but I don't think that's as much fun. The game is definitely family friendly, though we're all adults and have a great time playing. There is a little bit of strategy involved but it's mostly luck.
Totally Fun! September 15, 2008
This game has a whole bunch of mini-games in it. One of the ones I really like is the Boo-ting Gallery. I recommend it for kids aged 7 to 17.
Another solid party game from Nintendo August 25, 2008
Mario Party 8 is, in most ways, very similar to its predecessors - a large amount of mini games, colorful graphics, a variety of boards, and a selection of Nintendo characters. Since this is the first installment on the Wii, the major difference in this version is the motion controls used on the boards and in mini games. Here's my personal list of pros and cons.
Pros:
1. boards have more variety, especially conditions on how to earn stars
2. high replay value, especially for families and casual gamers
3. use of the Wii's motion controls makes for a more interactive experience
Cons:
1. higher degree of luck, especially with the awarding of bonus stars
2. the party host and his talking hat are incredibly annoying
3. not all mini games use the motion controls
Overall, this is a solid party game. If you liked the previous Mario Party games, you'll like this one too.
