THE GOOD:
Lots of minigames. You can play as any of 6 famous characters. Story mode for 1 player. Improves on the first MP's control problems.THE BAD:
Story mode is rather difficult. Some of the minigames are either too easy or too hard. SUMMARY:
I didn't play the first game in the series, so MP2 was my starting point. The game plays out on a series of board games, with a minigame after every turn. A lot of them are fun activities like racing, bumper cars, and other Nintendo-themed challenges. The big part of the story, though, is the Mini-Game Coaster, a 1-player ride where you must meet a certain challenge in every game to advance all the way through. It's both fun and frustrating.
The graphics are good and controls are quite responsive, often using only 1 or 2 buttons. You can adjust difficulty settings for each individual CPU opponent, and even handicap human players to give your little brother or sister a chance against you! Other options include game length and which minigames appear. The games are chosen at random, so occasionally they'll repeat, which is a little annoying.
Also, while you can play the main board games alone, it's just not as fun as doing it with 2 or 3 friends. Bottom line is it's a big improvement over the first title, and while not as good as MP3 it's still a great way to get friends together for a party. Just make sure they bring the chips & drinks. |

THE GOOD:
Great mini-games and a LOT of boards. Great graphics.THE BAD:
Read below=/ SUMMARY:
Well, this is a very fun game. Usualy, sequals to games in my opinion are usual a bunch of mess. But this is an eception. The game is really fun, like I mentioned before, the graphics are excellent considering this is a N64 game. The boards are fun too and there are many items. Oh, and this is a great family game, because there are fun four-player mini-games. The best mini-games to me are Lava Tile Isle, Hexagon Heat, Bumper Balls, and Shell Shock. Those mingames last a while and will get a couple of laughs out! And I like games that have enough to keep you busy after you finish the main story. And once you've bought all the minigames, there are even more to unlock later!!! eHre are the bad things about this game, some of the min-games are games of luck. You just have to get lucky to win them, and it may take a while. One point in the game you might have to play one=/ And some minigames are just plain boring. So, there is my review. A 4.9 is nice |

THE GOOD:
The great variety of mini games, excellent help if you need one... The graphics are also good.THE BAD:
The bad thing is that when you play it, some mini games are being repeated like x x x times and other are just being idle..
Oh and also some of the "platforms" are just boring. SUMMARY:
In general this is a game which is OK. I would recommend it to people of all ages.
Maximum 4 players can play this game at one time, you can also play it single player or two players or three players and you can watch the computer playing.
In some glances Mario Party 1 is better than 2 - the first is easier to handle it, and in 1 the goast steels in 1 less coins than in 2.
Some mini games are really cool and amusing and some are just.. not so special. |

THE GOOD:
This game lasts a while, its not really an 'adventure' game the best time to play it is when you have some friends around. Its the best board game you can play and you can have a great time laughing at eachother when you lose! The graphics are good the mini-games are fantastic and the music isn't too annoying.THE BAD:
Nothing except you won't like this game if you don't like board games and cute characters. SUMMARY:
The mini games are great fun and you play one after everyone has had a turn. The games range from, two against two games, one against three players, four playered games, item games and money games. Some of the games are difficult some are easy, some of the games take a longer time to win than others. This game is really good in my opinion. |

THE GOOD:
Most things are great in this game but they're are some bad things too.THE BAD:
Some of the Mini-Games are quite hard and boring plus if you play games all day then this one will bore you very quickly. SUMMARY:
This game is really quite fun, but it does have its drawbacks. First off, if you play games a lot or play them all day, then this game will get boring really quickly. Second off, some of the Mini-Games, just some not all, have button combinations that I wasn't comfortable or good with like this one:
Mecha-Marathon
Players each have a little toy shyguy that they must wind up by pressing B and A alternativly as fast as they can. They then let them go and whoevers goes the farthest wins.
But the controls are better then spinning the Control Stick around and around as fast as you can to do varius things (Mario Party). I loved how in each Board Map all the players dressed up in costumes that looked splendid, but the players don't wear the costumes during Mini-Games (Which dissapointed me greatly). This game is great to play with 3 friends and it won't let you and your friends down for at least a week. Fans of Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, Yoshi, Donkey Kong and Wario will enjoy this game greatly if not played too often.=)

THE GOOD:
Fun when you first get it,
Nice Graphics,
Lot's of Puzzles.THE BAD:
Get's Boring,
Easy. SUMMARY:
This game is average. Don't get this unless you really liked the original Mario Party. You get a high replay value and there are some neat features but the fact is: It gets boring after a while.
This is a good Puzzle N64 Game. But, unless you're really into Puzzle N64 Games, don't buy this. |
