Mario Party 7

"The best mario party for the gamecube yet!"

Another year another Mario party but this one is really good

Story 7
Mario party never have that good of a story neither does this one. In this one Mario is walking along. Out of no where comes Toads-worth and asks Mario to come on a party with him. Mario goes on the party and asks all his friends to come but does not ask Bowser. So Bowser gets mad and tries to ruin there fun. So its not a great story but thats ok.

Sound 8
This game has good sound but a little to fun sounding. In mini-games there is a small soundtrack of music but you will to busy having fun you wont notice it. The maps have different music which is nice. Overall this game has pretty nice music.

Graphics 8
The graphics in this game are very very colorful. The graphics look like clay there not real looking but they are very decent for the cartoon approach. I guess this games graphics is what you would expect cartoon and very colorful graphics so overall there good solid graphics

Game play 10
On to the most important part game play. The best part of Mario party is the mini-games. This version does not have as many but the ones they do have are so fun some of the greatest ones ever. A new feature is the 8 player mode and that has some great mini-games its a good new feature. Now the map part. They have some new maps and there better than ever. They have new ways to get stars all the maps have new ways making it more hard. So overall less mini-games but the ones that are in are very fun. A new 8 player mode which brings a new life to this 8 year old series thats been around since 1998. New maps with brand new features that will make the maps fun again.

Replay value 10
Yet another 10. This is a Mario party game what did you expect just get 3 friends and get to plying mini-games all day. The 8 player mode is great for replay value just get 7 friends and start playing. 8 people is a lot to play with and you can waste a whole night even if you have beat the game.

So should you get it yes even if you do not like Mario party try it and rent it.

Have fun playing Mario party 7.
