    The theory of games and their effect on society is a debate that to this day has yet to cease. Certainly there are games that should be questionable purchases for... Read more

    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 The first game which is widely considered the best in the series has become outdated as well and the mini-games can only be played so many times before they too become shallow. Read more

    First, a confession: Before I got the review copy of this title, I may have been the only Nintendo fan on earth never to have played a Mario Party game. When I powered up the old ‘Cube, I had no idea what I would find. Read more

    Most gamers have heard of the Mario Party series by now. Entering its fourth installment, one would anticipate it is probably more of the same. Having not had the privilege of playing any of the previous three (I never had an N64), all I have to compare it to is Pac-man Fever, which is a decent game but nowhere near the quality of this one.

    Back in the dark days of the N64, Nintendo had many first-party titles, but few winners. One of the few breakthrough series that emerged from those dark days was the Mario Party series. With simple gameplay, an emphasis on multiplayer, and a format suitable for a quick get-together, Mario Party and its two sequels were instant hits, with each new game in the series improving greatly upon the last.

    Mario Party 4 is not a bad game, but besides the graphics, and new mini-games, what makes it so different from the previous three games? You know the answer. Read more

    28 April 2003

    Not much has changed since Mario Party’s last appearance on the N64. Mario Party 4 is still very much a virtual board game, with a huge emphasis on mini-games and getting multiple people in on the action. The goal is to continually travel around the game board and collect as many stars and coins as you can. Read more

    Mario Party 4 review Game Over Online - http://www.game-over.com When it comes to the Mario Party series, it seems gamers occupy one of two camps: Either they wholeheartedly love the “action-packed four-player mini-game mayhem,” or they despise the “repetitive, overly simple tasks and confused layout” more than the looming threat of mass genocidal Armageddon.

    • ew Mega-Mini system, Presentable graphics, Highly competitive gameplay, The stinkier mini-games can be disabled
    • More of the same, Not enough voice samples; Daisy’s voice is horrible, No Bumper Balls!, Fun factor highly proportional to # of human players

    And in terms of variety, MP4 scores high. There are games based on timing, luck, reflexes, button mashing, coordination, cooperation, path finding, and aim. No complaints about the mini-games besides the fact you have to unlock them through the competition or story mode before being able to practice them. There are more than 50 mini-games (including some hosted by Bowser) with an assortment of boards to conquer, including two run by a couple of Thwomps. Read more

    I enjoyed playing Mario right from the Nintendo 64 game console and as things may be, the Nintendo game cube Mario does not excite me like the previous Nintendo 64 Mario version. Well a lot of people have been moving comments along the air that the game sucks; yes the game some times sucks but not as some say. 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!!! 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 theres never a dull moment as one to four players compete in 50 all-new minigames. With varied styles of play including racing, target…
