Mario Party 5

Strengths: Fun gameplay, lots of minigames

Weakness: Not much fun if you aren't playing multiplayer, no Donkey Kong

Mario Party 5 is the fifth installment of the board game based Mario game. This version offers a ton of new mini-games and just about all of them are a blast to play. I think the boards are a lot more interesting than the ones in the last game because they are much larger and there is a lot more interaction. I think this game captures the magic of the older versions much better and it adds the...

Mario Party 5 GameCube

Strengths: Great Multi-Player Fun

Weakness: Single Player is short and not as much fun

Mario Party 5 for the GameCube adds to the tradition of fun multiplayer mini games that has made Mario Party series such a hit. The game offers 5 different modes -Party, Story, Mini Game, Bonus, and Super Duel - all of which have their own strengths. Single player game is short and frankly not that much fun. This is a great party or family game for kids of all ages as its easy to pick up and the...

Mario Party 5

Strengths: Great multiplayer game, smooth game play, easy to play, mini-games

Weakness: Short single player version, similar to previous versions of the game

Just as the title indicates, this is a party game. Great for all ages, this game pits members of the Mushroom Kingdom (Mario, Luigi, Wario, Princess Peach, etc.) against each other in a board-game setting. Players take turns rolling dice to move around the board to collect coins which enable the player to buy stars. The player with the most stars at the end of the game is the winner. Coins are...

Mario Party 5

Strengths: Great multiplayer fun for the whole family, new mini games.

Weakness: More of the same, too "kiddy" for some, single player is boring, the loss of Donkey Kong as a playable character.

Although the Mario Party franchise has been panned by the critics, Nintendo must be doing something right because fans keep lapping up the sequels year after year - it has been a virtual cashcow for them, along the lines of Pokemon. I personally liked Mario Party 4 better, which featured more 2 versus 2 mini games that focused on teamwork; however, Mario Party 5 is an excellent sequel to the...

Mario Party 5

Strengths: Has new gameboards to choose from and new mini games.

Weakness: none

Great game to play with friends and family. Has new fun and interesting capsules. No complains, just awesome. The single player mode is difficult to complete since the computer is hard even on the easy setting.

Mario Party 5

Strengths: New mini games, game boards, a bonus mode, and a duel mode.

Weakness: None.

I love the new modes Nintendo has put in. The duel mode is like a version of battle bots with a Nintendo twist. The bonus mode is my favorite, with a card game, a volleyball game, and a hockey game. I just love the volleyball and hockey games! They are truly addicting!!

Mario Party 5

Call it social intercourse for gamers, because that's exactly what the Mario Party formula is all about -- even if that's kind of a kinky definition. Friends gather, tantrums are thrown, threats are tossed, beers are often spilled on the carpet, and everyone thinks they are the big, bad boss at the end, no matter who actually acquired the most sparkling stars. I guess you could call it fun, too,...
