Mario Party

"A great party game"

The game Mario Party for the Nintendo 64 is truly a great game, especially if you invite some friends over and play all together. This game has a lot of games, mini-games and it is an extremely entertaining game. Almost everything about this game is just about perfect and that is definitely a good thing when it comes to game developers wanting to gain the consumer's interest and this game has definitely caught my total interest. Why is it an extremely entertaining game? What makes it different from other games for the Nintendo 64? Why should you get this game and not some other great multi-player game to play with your friends? Let's take an in depth look at some of the aspects that make Mario Party a great party game.

Game-play 10/10 - The game-play in Mario Party is absolutely astounding. It is just simply great. It's practically perfect. Almost every button on the controller does something and when you become involved in one of the many great mini-games, you can press start to pause the game and the controls will be explained to you in depth. And since the game tells you what to do in order to complete a mini-game, you're all set and ready to win! The game-play department in Mario Party gets a 10/10 from me easily.

Graphics 8/10 - The graphics in the game Mario Party are also very good. The environments in the game are very well done with a few minor flaws within them. The character models look very well done and actually look like who they are supposed to look like. The objects in some of the mini-games that you will encounter when playing this great game also look very cool. With a few minor but noticeable flaws contained, the graphics department in the game Mario Party gets a 10/10 from me respectively.

Sound 9/10 - The sound in the game Mario Party is also very good. The sounds in the mini-games are not annoying at all and are a pleasant thing to hear and even the voices that the character models have are clear and understandable. The sound effects are brilliant as well. But sometimes the music in the background during game-play can get a little bit annoying and so therefore I give the sound department a final rating of 9/10 respectively.

Replay value 8/10 - Mario Party is definitely a game with a lot of replay value. This game is very very fun and you'll be on it for hours. Some of the mini-games are a bit challenging at first when you play them but you'll get used to them. But hey, a challenge can be fun too. Mario Party definitely has a lot of replay value and so therefore I will give the game a replay value a rating of 8/10 respectively.

Rent or buy Buy - Mario Party is certainly not the kind of game you would want to consider renting first because that would just be a waste of time and money. If you want to try this game then buy it. You won't regret it. I know I didn't regret it and I was on for quite a long time having a blast. This game is just so much fun and if you're extremely bored you can pick up the game Mario Party and invite over a few friends and have a little tournament! No, there is no tournament mode in the game but that doesn't mean this game is not fun. In fact, with the lack of a tournament mode, this game is still an extremely entertaining game. Buy this game, do not rent it.

In my opinion, the game Mario Party is a very entertaining game that Super Mario fans would love. I'm a big Mario fan and this game has easily captured my total interest and it was definitely worth the money. If you are looking for a very entertaining game with some classic Nintendo characters that fight it out to be the best in a series of little challenges then this game is what you have been looking for because it has all that and then some.
