A Kids Review
This game seems great at first, and is a lot of fun. Most gamers like to play the story mode first, but this games' story mode is extremely short.
I am an experienced gamer, so it toke me two and half hours, and wasn't much fun. This game is fun if four unexperienced people play, but once you play this game about ten times, it gets BORING. Another downside about this game is there is no widescreen mode. If you can buy it for under 25 or so dollars, this could be a good buy.

Young Kid's Favorite.
My 5 y/o got this as part of Christmas gift along with 5~6 other games. This one is his favorite since the mini games are very simple and short. The board games are very easy to understand since it's like playin Monopoly. It's probably to easy and lame for adults or even older kids to play but for younger kids, it's perfect.

Seems like a cheap knock off!
Mario Party 8 has lost the Mario Party feel! The boards for one are REALLY lame! You can get stars by just landing on a certain space! Any stars gotten are either gotten by chance, or landing on a certain space! The minigames ARE fun, but are VERY slow, and dont use the wii remote ability! The orbs and items are replaced with power candies! You eat them to get powers! ???????????!!!!!!!!

How you see the boards is really what throws you off, you see everything threw a close up look, not like 7 or the DS, you can only really see about 3-4 spaces away from where you are, the boards are very small to!

The charectors, the story, it's al just lame! I'm a Mario Party fan, thats the only reason you would want to play Mario Party 8!
