Mario Party 7

Mario Party 7 is the fourth and final Mario Party title developed by Hudson Soft and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo GameCube. It has an ESRB : E (Everyone) / OFLC : PG rating. It is a single player and multiplayer game. The game makes use of the microphone peripheral introduced with Mario Party 6 and includes five entirely new worlds. Gameplay centres around Toadsworth who has invited Mario and all his friends to go on a luxury cruise around the world, with the exception of Bowser. Passengers soon discover that Bowser is exacting revenge by turning their vacation paradise into a stress-filled madhouse.

Features

The goal of Mario Party 7 is to gather stars. Up to eight players may participate in either Party Cruise or Deluxe Cruise (the 8 player equivalent of the Mini-Game Cruise). Players are split into teams of two and are required to share a controller. Single player mode puts one player against another (either computer controlled or human played) in trying to complete the set objective on the board map before the other can. There are nine types of minigames in the game, 4-P, 1 vs.3, 2 vs.2, Battle, Duel, 8-P, DK, Bowser, and Rare. For four-player and one versus three, there are an additional five minigames that can be played with the microphone.

    The first thing that I noticed about Mario Party 7 is that the graphics make everything look as though they were designed by Fisher Price. After playing the game it feels as though the gameplay was also created by Fisher Price. Hey baby, let's shake, rattle and roll. Read more

    Mario Party 7 is a good game for a family with numbers. Something for everyone to sit down and enjoy together, or against one another. We do not however recommend it for it's ho-hum single player modes. Read more

    Mario Party is just an old series and has been stagnant for the past several years. Pretty much the only real options for Nintendo are to make a Mario Party compilation title, wait for the Revolution for the chance for more diverse mini-games, or just continue spewing out increasingly unimpressive games. This game isn’t really too great, and there are other, better four-player multiplayer games on the Cube, and this one just doesn’t stack up to Smash Bros. Melee or... Read more

    This game can be a riot, with it's wierd minigames and characters. The board game based moving system is kinda lacking and takes away from the classic mario because the only time your really in controll is when you're playing amini game.
