Wasn't sure whether to post this in here or on reviews. Decided I'd just put it here but if it needs to you can move it.
Anyway, on with the review!
Mario Party 8 is criticized a lot because people say it's the worst party. Personally, I don't think so. Great boards and minigames are just part of the fun of this Mario Party game.
Controls:
Mario Party 8 didn't have any control problems except for the minigame, "Flip the Chimp". When you turn it's very delayed.
Gameplay:
Mario Party 8 kept the same idea of going around the boards and getting stars. Ofcourse there were also other concepts in different boards that were even more interesting. These include a linear board, investing coins in hotels, looking for Boos in hiding spots, runnig around a train, and stealing stars with candy. I thought these boards were very fun especially Koopa's. It also brought in a new item system, candy. Candy wasn't as good as the capsule/orb systsm, but it was fun and inventive.
Minigames:
Minigames were fun in Mario Party 8. I especially liked Blazing Lassos, and Speedy Graffiti. But there were plenty of others I also liked.
Seperate Board reviews:
DK's Treetop Temple:
th
This is a nice board that I particularly enjoyed. It keeps the original formula of getting stars for 20 coins. Nothing completely special about this board though.
Goomba's Booty Boardwalk:
This sin't one of my favorites. I'm not a big fan of linear boards because I like adventurous style.
Koopa's Tycoon Town:
This is my favorite board in the entire game! I love the idea of investing your coins in the hotels and this board was designed perfectly with all the spaces in the right places.(rhyme
) It's a better version of Windmilleville from Mario Party 7 basically.
Boo's Haunted Hideaway:
This is one of my favorite boards. I love how you never know where you're going. It's a REALLY cool and creative idea.
Shy Guy's Lerplex Express:
Cool board that has some fun events like Magikoopa.
Bowser's Warped Orbit:
I'm not a huge fan of the stealing each others stars gimmick, but 8's version of it was pretty good. I like the switching paths.
Music:
I love this music although it's not as good as Mario Party 4's music. But it's still pretty good.
Overall:
Here's my final score and rating system I use:
10= ;D
9= :-D
8= ^-^
7= 8)
6= :mute
5= :-\
