I personally don' see why?!
> The minigames are good.
> The graphics are good.
> The Wii Remote makes it better.
> Its fun to play.

What do you say. Was MP8 really that bad?

I myself don't understand why. I really like it too. I think that people don't like it because they are comparing Mario Party 8 to the other MP games. Which doesn't give a good enough reason to hate it.
 
The turns are a bore to run through, it is even more luck based than past Mario Party games and the boards seem to encourage it even more, as well as that Lucky Space itself. The graphics are pretty good for a Wii game imo, but that doesn't really help the gameplay. And the minigames were alright for some motion control stuff. And like other people said the storyline is terrible. So I do think it is terrible, at least out of all the Mario Party games, and maybe even Mario games in general.

Cook pretty much summerized it up there.

The Storyline for this Mario Party was too childish. A hundred year of supply of candy? Too much. And we don't want our characters having sweet-tooth.

Yes, to much influence though, the candy was childish... Well don't forget Paper Mario: TTYD.

VSM: Don't spoil for those who haven't played TTYD!
Kingboo: Well then. Eh... *Edits*

Oh.......

I liked the game. But I think people hat it because it's maybe not the best one there is. It's a good game, but not better than MP2 or MP5 etc.
 
God everyone is so biased in this topic. :p

MP8 had slightly improved gamecube graphics. But I could care less for those but saying they were some of the best is kinda an overstatement.  Anyways can't say much about this game since I don't own it but from the times I've borrowed it, you pretty much need very little skill to play it and more luck and the motion controls were very unresponsive. Some minigames were pretty fun though and that's pretty much one of the important aspects. Out of the other console MP, this has to be one of the worst.
 
Personally i didn't care for it either. Like everyone else has been saying, the graphics may be good, but the  storyline and gameplay suck. It relies too heavily on luck to actually win and who wants a free supply of candy? The minigames were ok but they need a balance of wii controls and old fashioned controls.
 
The biggest problem is that I got used to the candy and feel that the Orbs are more complicated to use... :( My complaints with the game are that the story mode (which is like a chore to me and the plot is indeed like buying baby food for adults), and that some of the minigames are unresponsive and difficult (like the monkey one).
