    While Mario Party continues on its inevitable course for world domination in Japan, we're left scratching our heads. We'd rather be partying with Wario Ware Touched! instead. Read more

    • Four-player with one game, Classic Mario cuteness
    • Tiresome mini-games, Same old Mario Party

    A typical Mario game. If you love Mario and his friends and like multiplayer then this one is certainly something for you. Otherwise it certainly won't be able to keep your interest. Read more

    • Good multiplayer, Fun and varied minigames
    • Weak singleplayer

    One of the best Mario Party games. Not quite as good as 5 or 8, but the DS is perfectly suited to the series. Read more

    • Fresh new mini-games, and ports of the best puzzles from past Mario Party games.
    • Boards are short, 30 turn max in Party Mode.

    Mario finally brings the party to the DS, and it's well worth the wait. Read more

    • Full single-card multiplayer functionality; lots of great modes & minigames.
    • No online play; few boards & characters; AI is too hot or too cold.

    • Visuals and sound are trademark Mario., Plenty of new features throughout.,  Re-playability lasts for a long time., Mini Games are fantastic
    • Addition of touch screen style mini games would have been good., A little tedious at times.
