Finally, MPDS what do you hate about it?
I presonally love the game, but what I don't like about it is that most of the Duel Mini-Games were from the 4-Player Mini-Games, and the Puzzle Mini-Games as well, but yeah other than that, I love the game.
What do you hate about MPDS?
 
Trace Cadets had to be the worst designed minigame ever that wasn't in MP8 (*cough*flipthechimp*cough*).

Anyways, like kinetic I didn't like that the boards felt too small and the game felt a little too gimmicking in the sense that you could just effortlessly put down some 2 star hexes on the board or just buy 3 star pipes for 45 coins.
 
I wonder how Trace Cadets ranks in worst game not in MP8. I know shapes like the L and U are sometimes not registered, but surely you don't stumble on the single squares... >_<

My "hates" towards MPDS are:
> Cheep Cheep Chance appearing too regularly in Duel
> Inconsistency in "Expert" difficulty (in Soap Surfers, they play like Hard, while in Trace Cadets, Rail Riders and Rubber Ducky Rodeo they play like Brutal)
> MIC games being too simplistic (apart from Short Fuse) and almost a guaranteed win
> Lack of unique spaces (only Friend? Really?)
> Cheapness of certain tactics on certain boards (e.g. play Team Battle on Kamek's Library. Buy only Dice Sets, and have one team member on each half of the board...)
> CPU stupidity in using Halfway Dice at the most inopportune moments (i.e. Bowser Zone)

...may add more. =P

I'm surprised this is the first mention of the friend space. That space was dumb as hell. :p  And yeah the cpu played pretty stupid but they've played worst in like Mario Party 3.

Yea but the CPU (and anyone else probably) just gives it to the last place person.

Too true.

Other bad things to add to the list:

* Wiggler's Garden is just bad in terms of having two consecutive Bowser Spaces, and the central path with two consecutive red spaces and the -10 coin ? space.
* The music note F and its annoyingly posh language in Toadette's Music Room.
* I suppose Hammer Bro's bad pun of "My music is SO MOVING!!!" is bad.
* Not being able to play Desert Duel or the other Multiplayer game mode outside of Multiplayer Wireless.
* Horrible loading times for Download Play (around 5 minutes).
* Sometimes the Chests of Chance give out 60 coins to a computer on first shot, then you come up to it, and miss your 60 coins by the narrow margin of a 5 or 1 instead of 6. =P
 
The Piranha Plant boss for Wiggler's Garden is so hard for me, than I needed a friend of mine to beat the boss before I could move on(Note: I just got the game 5 days ago and I've already beat story mode). Also, Duel Mini games can destroy or raise your chances on a board. The computers always choose the person who is in 1st place and that can get really annoying if you're in first by a large margin. Overall it's a good game, but it can get on your nerves.
