Mario Party 8 (Wii, 2007)

Nintendo Wii: Mario Party 8

Mario Party is the game that has brought me back to
Nintendo. I originally discovered it back for the N64
and then I once again played it on the gamecube. When I
heard that they were making number 8 for the Wii I decided
to buy the entire system for that game.

Mario Pary games are like electronic board games. Up to
four people can play and you roll an electronic dice like
a board game. You then move on the board. At the end of
each person's board you play a "Mini-game". These mini
games are either 4 on 4, battle 4 on 4, cooperative teams,
or 1 on 3 games. You compete for coins that you can use
to buy stars during the game. The player with the most
stars & coin combination wins.

This game had 4 30+ year olds having a blast at my home!
It was beyond fun. We were giggling and moving like no
other party before.

Mario Party 8 takes great advantage of the Wii remote system.
At the start you have to swing your remote up to roll your dice.
You have normal pointing and moving motions along with a dart
throwing motion at points.

The mini games greatly use the controller. You are shooting,
balancing, lassoing, shaking, and so on! Great fun. :)

I was not disappointed. This is the second game that I have
purchased (and I rarely purchase games, only rent). I'm so
happy that I have a Wii now. :)

5/5 Fun for everyone!
