Mario party 5 is the second gamecube istalment of nintendo's multiplayer smash. Being number 5, it could be thought that the game will feel old. Not true.The major change with this instalment is the rehashed single player mode. The single player has always been mario partys down fall. With a single map lasting over an hour, failure was extreemly annoying, this has been altered so that now a typical story mode map lasts around 15 mins. For some this may be disserpointing, but a standard map can still be played with 3 cpu comtroled rivals, so its not like your missing anything is it?Multiplayer is were the game really shines. the same old collect the stars routine is still the order of the day,but the borads have been changed to make it far easier to get a star, which makes the comotion far more close, as in the previous (and possibly weakest) instalment, the typicaly 20 turn game would end with around 3 stars bought overall. now there is norm aly at least 3 per player, as smaller boreds make high scoring easy.There have been several changes in the game, the most bizzar is that DK is no longer selecatable. Though he does appare and have a special space which leads to events, it seems odd that a different nintendo caracter was not used. But with DK leaving, baby bowser, toad and strangly Boo are now controlable, which gives players more choice, though none of these are as popular as DK.The second major diffrence is that items shops are no longer used. Instead, a capsual machine deals you a rondom item that you can either place on the bored to be used on who ever lands on it, or pay to use it on your self. This can seem frustrating at first, parcicularly when you have a large amount of coins and want to be able to buy a short cut to the star, but after a while, it becomes clear that it makes the game more competative. No longer do the rich rule the game.The mini games are always the most important aspect of mario party, and 5 has a good deal of corkers, wether your racing up a beanstalk, trying to make your ice cream the biggest or seeing how close you dare let a chomp get to you, its always good fun. the mini games are mostly very good, there are a few small exceptions, but for the most part, the games are simple but fun, and you will soon find a favorite.The biggest improvment from 4 to 5 is the boards. In 4, these were all rather dull with bland set peices and little going on. 5 returns them to there glory, with colourful back grounds, and well thought out events. The boards now all seem to have a good helping of the nintendo charm and magic that the company is famous for.In conclushion, mario party 5 is a great party game, though on your own it feels a little dull at times, its a great social experience, with alliences and back stabbing worth of a reality TV show. If only the costumes from mario party 2 remained.

Having played the first game in the series, (Mario Party), i was extremely dissapointed with the prequel to Mario Party 5, (Mario Party 4). It seemed rushed, it could have easily been made for the N64 and the range of mini-games was limited.This completely put me off the idea of Mario Party 5, however Nintendo have really developed the franchise so that it doesn't completely revolve around the 'Party Mode' board game action.One frustrating thing with the prior games was the fact that single player mode, was exactly like playing with three other mates, but with all the fun extracted. Mario Party 5 has a completely re-vamped and shortened (for the better) story mode,

JUST IN TIME FOR CHRISTMAS COMES YET ANOTHER INSTANT HIT WITH THE MARIO PARTY TEAM, DO THEY KNOW HOW TO THROW A PARTY OR WHAT???Will this be the best in the series? Lets hope so. Mario Party 5 is looking to be the most fun yet.Nintendo has only released a handfull of screenshots so far but they have promised that it will include the ever popular 'Duel mode' which was much missed in Mario Party 4. The one player mode will be the best yet with developers thinking up the most interesting and fun mini games so far.New characters will also be appearing this time round along with the old favouites, Mario Luigi, Peach etc. As yet we do not know who exactly they will be.60 mini-games means one hugely entertaining slice of gaming since last years installment.

Mario's games have never failed us with their stunning graphics, music, and wonderful storylines (usually involving Bowser kidnapping Princess Peach), and this is no exception.But, as time rolls by, one must admit that the magical charm of Super Mario Bros. is vanishing, and all the Mario Party games I have played are of difference in miniscule ways. However, I do recommend Mario Party as it is always fun, never boring and forever entertaining with silly impossible events and cutesy cartoon characters. Play on a board with a dice, move the number of spaces, an event happens on a space and afterwards play a fun minigame. There's nothing wrong with this,

Well at least not enough of an evolution from Mario Party 4.Sure all the 40 odd new games are great with a couple of real gems but the game is essentially the same. It would have been nice to have seen some different board games or some new rules but ultimately you are buying the same game as 4 with a few different games.Still a great game but if you have never played Mario Party then you might as well buy Mario 4 as a players choice title.

The main game is about what you'd expect, but there'a a pretty rad card game mode distinct from the boards/mini games stuff. There's also a battle bots simulator, distinct from the other two modes. A lot of pleasant surprises in this one. However, the game occasionally fails to recognize my memory card, so that's a pain in the ass sometimes.

I really loved this game nice mini-games and less messages on screen this was kind of faster than any other MP game I played before.This game should get a 4 or 5 stars as it's the better game than any other MP games so far.
