Customer Review of Mario Party 8
How to tell that your Party has gone on too long!
Have you ever gone to a party only to discover that you either forgot to put deodorant on, or that you underdressed, or that in the slim chance; this is a gathering that you were never invited to begin with. This would be purely embarrassing to everyone as you muddled your way through the crowd, attempted to make small talk, and eventually left with your tail between your legs. It would be a very difficult night to rebound from as your social standings would plummet. Does it sound like these first few sentences are coming from personal experience? Is this my attempt to reach out to anyone who feels my pain? Is this a journal entry slipped into a review? Nope, this is how I chose to open my thoughts for the newest Wii game entitled "Super Mario Party 8". After stumbling across a random Wii at a local big-box store, I took the cheap dive (while everyone was paying top dollar via auction sites) and a month later eventually took it out of the box. I built some Mii characters, I played my tennis, but overall I was searching for something a bit more substantial. I wanted to "thwack" my controller around while learning why the Wii is the most sought after system today. So, I picked up "Super Mario Party 8", and allowed the adventures to begin over the course of the next four hours - until I subsequently returned it for "Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess". <
> <
>Now, before everyone huffs and puffs about not playing or introducing myself to this world of "Super Mario Party", I must admit, this was my first. I was hoping for the same mad-cap chaos that was allowed when friends gathered to play "Warioware: Smooth Moves", but alas it didn't happen. Again, I would like to state that I have never picked up the other games, thus already biasing my opinion of this game, but I would still like to make my thoughts aware in case there are others like me that were thinking one thing, but were handed another. Let me begin by saying, this is a multi-player game. While it may boast a strong individual story, there is nothing of the sort. The individual game is about four hours long, the AI for the computer is non-creative, and when the big battle finally occurs - you have all the chances in the world to see the uncreative ending. I expected more from a flagship enterprise that Nintendo has created with its Mario-esque characters. If I had no friends, I still wanted the game to sustain itself. My friends aren't buying the game - I am, therefore it needs to initially appeal to me. Am I wrong with this thought? <
> <
>I would also like to admit that I like the concept of board game play. I am a single Monopoly player at heart, and so this really appealed to me, but it just didn't hold the bond. You have little to no control over your character. The physical "game town" within the game is small and after about three hours of wandering around, you fell as if you just need to get out of dodge. The game-master is annoying and verbose. From the moment you turn the system on (whether your first time or your fifty-th), he walks you through the process like you are in third grade. Sure, you can move quickly though his speeches, but they just get old over time. That was my overall pain with this game, the lack of originality. Over the course of about three hours, it did become old. I played as Wario and hoped that he would be slippery, slimy, and overall mischievous in his ability to work the boards, but that didn't happen. It wouldn't matter who you played, they would all do the same, react similarly, with no special events or opportunities. I wanted side stories, capers, and tricks as we battled our way to the top board, but again, that never happened. Unlike "Warioware", there wasn't hours of game play. The inconsistency of the boards made some games easy, others mediocre hard, there wasn't the quick progression of standards. The final board was exciting just because it provided something new, but it forced the gamer to ask, "Why wasn't this thought process used throughout the game?" <
> <
>This is a game. This is a game for those that need to play a board game without actually having to pick up the pieces. I have no problems with the board game aspect of this video game, what my issues translate into deal with the fact that we live in 2007 (soon to be 2008), with major advances in the gaming industry, but "Super Mario Party 8" could easily have been made in the the late 90s. The graphics for "Super Mario Party 8" rank, at best, in the mid-6s. I hated not being able to control my characters and being forced to go in a certain direction. The game play became stale, even with friends, after about two hours. I can't say that this game, "Super Mario Party 8" is the best representation of what the Nintendo Wii is capable of. I wasn't impressed - and with that in mind, let the negative "helpfulness" meter reign supreme. <

>Grade: ** out of *****

Pretty fun, but pretty shallow
I have to admit that I played this almost exclusively in single-player mode in the Star arena. I was a little surprised to 'solve it' and get the credits in my first sitting. That was a bit disappointing, but it's fun to replay it. <
> <
>I wish there were more variety in the characters' actions and dialogs. More boards (only 6) would help, too. Game transitions sometimes take too long and are almost always exactly the same animation each time. Often the biggest hurdle with the mini-games is getting the controller to work as expected (the pouring mini-game where you pour sand on a scale is an example of this). I've never lost a board to the computer, maybe I've just been lucky? Oh, and lastly, it's true that most of the game is 4:3 even if you have a 16:9 display, but it honestly hasn't bothered me that much. <
> <
>On the up-side, it is one of the better Wii games out right now (not many decent ones out right now, though). And, it has some replay value to it, although I'm getting burnt out on the repeating sound effects and dialog. I've had the game for a week (and haven't spent a ton playing it) so I give it 3 stars for being so easily solved and repetitive. <
> <
>If you're interested mostly in single player action, get Super Paper Mario first.

Wonderful!!
We have all the Mario Party games and this is the best. We are working out and having fun play the game also. I just wish it came with an extra controller. <
