    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?

    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
