    The Mario Party franchise has been around for quite awhile and every installment seems to become a more shallow experience. Even with added mini-games and a large assortment of secrets, each sequel only exists to prove one thing, Mario sells. The first game which is widely considered the best in the series has become outdated as well and the mini-games can only be played so many times before they too become shallow. Nintendo seems to consider Mario Party 4 as a “back... Read more

    The Mario Party games popularized the trend of board game bonanzas with an assortment of varied activities. Each shindig was like having dozens of games in one, and Mario Party 4 is the wildest multiplayer get-together Nintendo has ever thrown. Mario, Luigi, Yoshi and an all-star cast of Mushroom Kingdom regulars have been invited, and there's never a dull moment as one to four players compete in 50 all-new minigames. With varied styles of play including racing, target... Read more

    Creating a mini-game filled party title looks deceptively simple. Take a mascot or four, toss them into a board game setting, add liberal amounts of button mashing mayhem and poof, there you have it. Of course, it isn't this easy. Just look at Pac Man Fever or Sonic Shuffle, both which lacked that certain something that makes a fun party game. However, Hudson has nailed the genre with the Mario Party franchise, not surprising when you consider they are also the... Read more

    Overall this game delivers what it promises and what the other games delivered as well, plain flat out fun. I do reccomend you play it with some friends, as it can lose it’s “spark” playing against the computer. Call up some friends (if you have any), get the chips & dip and ride the fun train to your GameCube. If you’re still skeptical, rent it and see how things go, but I’m sure mario and Co. can charm the $50 dollars out of your wallet. Read more

    No envelopes are being pushed here, except the ones containing party invitations. The formula has already been set in stone, though the added Mega-Mini system does lend some more control. Still, the mini-games don't really impress. Mario Party is really meant for four players and is simply a game you either love or hate. So that's that until Mario Party 5, with or without Prince , gets the party started right. Read more

    This is an awesome game to get if you have a brother or sister who you play games with a lot. I play it with my big brother. The only downside to it is that when you play it on your own, after a while you can get a bit bored of the whole routine: roll dice, move, wait for CPU, mini-game.Don't get that to turn that away from you though... If you do buy it, happy partying... The mario way!!! Eve Read more

    Nintendo Mario Party 4 for GameCube continues the multi-player family friendly Mario Party Tradition. There are several different game play modes such as Single-player, Story mode, Party mode, and Mini-Games. There is ton of variety in the Mini-Games which will keep you interested in the game for quite a bit of time to come. Single player is weak, but that's a given with this series. If you have 3 friends available to play, grab some controllers and get going, you won't... Read more

    The fourth installment of the Mario Party series is the first to appear on the Gamecube. Mario Party is a party game, noted in the title, and is a rendezvous of the classic Mario characters such as Mario, Luigi, Peach, Yoshi, Waluigi, Wario, Donkey Kong, and Daisy. As the first one of the series on the Gamecube, these graphics leap greatly from the N64 version. This multiplayer bonanza is on an actual board where the characters move around for a set number of turns,... Read more
