Finally after all this time a Mario Party game for the DS

User Rating: 8 | Mario Party DS DS
This game is all you would expect from a quality MP game, great mini-games that are fun to play, ad-hoc multi-player is fun as well (and you only need one cart for some 4 player action to boot!) I thought the graphics were a little bland considering what we have seen come out of the DS but it in no way takes the fun out of the game, after a few mins of playing you don't really notice it. A plethora of games will keep you interested in this one for a long while and there is tons of added replay value. Sound and music is basic Mario fodder and does not annoy, which is a plus. The game also takes full advantage of the DS's unique features and control is top notch. Games vary in difficulty as well but never get so hard that someone new to the series couldn't pick it up and play.

The only reason I gave this one an 8 instead of a full 10 is the lack of WiFi multi-player (would have made this game all that more fun) and the bland graphics. But don't let that sway you from picking this gem up as soon as you see it, it's one of the few that will keep you addicted for a long while!
