    The series that revolutionized the party game genre, if it didn't pioneer it, is back in its fifth incarnation. By this time, one would expect the games to start getting stale, and while this is mildly true, Hudson Soft has included enough new games and play modes to keep fans interested, and newcomers enthralled.

    Back in the days of the Nintendo 64, it became clear that Super Mario 64 was going to be the only true Mario game that would be made for that console. Shigeru Miyamoto actually came out at one point and stated that he was limited by the N64’s processing capabilities in the making of Super Mario 64, and that the Italian plumber’s next true adventure wouldn’t be released until Nintendo’s next console.

    I definitely played my share of Mario titles during my life. It all started with Super Mario for the Gameboy, since only later in my life was I introduced to the classic Arcade Game itself. Other titles followed, more titles for the Gameboy including Super Mario 2, one of my all time favourites I still play these days, the various Mario titles for NES and SNES and recently we have seen Super Mario Sunshine being released on the Gamecube.

    The N64 was home to the first version of Mario Party a while back. This was a fun game with addicting mini games people wanted to play. The N64 saw two more Mario Party games, and after that came the GameCube. The little purple box saw Mario Party 4, but it was old and tiresome; it had too much of the same old thing. Can Mario Party 5 bounce back and revive the series? Read more

    Mario Party 5 is the best in the series, but not by enough to warrant its creation. Read more

    • Boards finally in 3-D, Capsule Item & Event system, Creative, competitive mini-games, Better-than-average Mario Party music
    • Still-crummy AI, Only fun with 3-4 people, Sometimes sloppy controls, Not radically different from the first four games, No custom mini-game list!

    Introduction I am very fond of the Mario Party series, having all except Mario Party and Mario Party 3. I was excited to see what this game would be like. Gameplay - 7/10 The gameplay is generally the same as before, with some changes. For those of you who have never played a Mario Party game, you play on a number of large game boards (seven in this game), and roll the dice to see who can be the first to reach the randomly-placed stars.

    • You could play this for years and never get bored
    • Mario party with a story, i think not

    Mario and co are trying to stop Bowser from ruining Dream Land where all dreams come to life. Defeat him by moving through all new boards to defeat the Mini Bowsers. When you beat them, you will unlock another level for you to play. As good as it may sound, Mario Party 5 is incredibly dull. It is not very good playing on your own but it is a blast playing with your friends! The game features lots of completely new mini-games! Some of them are actually quite good. Read more
