    In the end, Mario Party Advance does what it's supposed to do, and that is to provide the gamer with fun on the go. It's not exact as fast-paced as WarioWare, but aside from the gaddgets, the minigames are a lot of fun and the fact that Nintendo can come up with these ideas when limited to a 2D handheld is impressive. Is the game worth your money' From a casual gamer's standpoint, definitely. If you're a diehard fan of the console version and can't get enough of that... Read more

    Is Mario Party Advance state of the art? No, it is not because some mini-games are stupid and/or dull (which is inevitable because of the amount) and the multiplayer part is, despite some efforts, not that of a party-animal.

    "Squeezing the fun out of Mario Party Advance is a tough slog..." The most surprising aspect of Mario Party Advance (MPA) is that it has taken until now – six years after the N64 original – to appear on the GameBoy Advance. Connectivity was a big selling point of the GBA and the Mario Party franchise seems like a natural for being “connected.” Anyway, it’s here now and if you’re a fan, MPA is a welcome addition – but if you’re neutral on the franchise,...

    A storyline in a single-player board game? Doesn't sound like Mario Party to me, and it's not, in the classic sense at least. But dialogue and those Nintendo mini-games you've come to love make it worth playing anyway. Read more
