Mario Party 6

"The sixth Installment of MP is here! And it's the best one yet."

Im aMASSIVE Mario Party fan, I played all of them except 3, And I can say that I've been bored by MP after the fifth game, I tried this game at my friends house and really enjoyed it, So I went off to buy it, I had a blast and I can say that this game is the best MP game yet. ((I don't know if it's better than 3)) And I can't believe Gamespot.com as well as other Game Sites gave this game such a low score! This game is awesome, Read on to find out just how awesome.

Graphics: 9/10.
Not much has been Improved on the character models but the boards have been Totally redone and been added with Much more things than 5, You look at the board detail in this game and you look at the one's on Party 4, See any difference? Ofcourse you do! 4 had Very small amounts of detail on their boards, 6 has TONS of new things added which makes it Graphically impressive, The graphics in the mini games are really good too. Plus, the Menu looks like Mario Party 1s menu, which is good too.

Controls: 8/10.
The controls are too easy in Solo/Party mode, And if this is going to be your first time playing MP, ((Which I Highly doubt)) Every time a Mini-Game pops up it tells you the controls and what to press, plus, there's a Practice mode to get you started. Easy controls here. Oh crap, I forgot to add that there's also a Mic with the game, my bad, The controls on the Microphone are spot-on, You press a button and say commands in 5 cool Mic-Only Mini games, for instance in 'Verbal Assault' you say orders on how you want to attack the other three players...You can say ''Fire'', ''Laser'', ''Missile'' & ''Drop Bob-Ombs'' And there should be no mistakes with the Mic.

Gameplay: 10/10.
The gameplay truly shines in this fantastic game. Most of the mini-games are really fun to play and it's even better if you got friends! Whether it's playing Party mode, Mic Mode or the Mini-Game mode, You'll always have a blast!! in addition to the mic being a new feature in MP 6, There's also night and day! Now you might be thinking ''Animal Crossing?'' O_o, No not that. Every three turns in the board, It'll change to night, Then another 3 turns changes back to day. Really Cool. but what's REALLY, REALLY cool is that it sometimes affects the minigames, a good example is Mole-It which you jump on Moles and avoid the Piranha plants from the Pipes, at night though; You ground pound 'em and avoid the plants. The Mini-Games are the best in any MP game and shouldn't dissapoint.

Sound: 8/10.
Nice cheerful music and same old Char voices, Except for Yoshi & Bowser, Why in the world did they change their voices?! They were good before. eh...I'll live with it. Overall the sound gets an 8.

Replay Value: 9/10.
It's Mario Party, No 2 games are the same when you play MP, So it offers one of the best Replay Value in any game ever created. Think about that Sentence before you buy. ;)

Difficulty: 6/10.
Pfft, Not too hard...but not too easy either. Some Mini games though are REAL hard like that bowser game where you get dizzy and can't control your character correctly. :-/

Lifespan: 10/10.
Man. it seems as though this game never ends! O_O Time flies fast when you play this game but the fun never ends.

Overall
What more is there to say? this game is a Masterpiece by the genius known as Shigeru Miyamoto It's a definite buy so go out there and BUY IT!!!! Peace out.
