Mario Party 8

Mario Party 8 Review

I played this game a couple of years ago on my first wii experience and I was blown away. Everything impressed me, the controls, the vibrating controllers, the graphics, the games. . . When I finally did buy a wii, it was at the top of my list of WANTs, but I never could justify paying - for it. In the meantime, I played Mario Kart, the new Super Mario Bros., and Mario Galaxy. But this game was always in the back of my head. I finally found Mario Party 8 on the marketplace for a few weeks ago and I snatched it up. The first time I played it, I was a bit disappointed. The characters were stiff and the graphics weren't the eye candy that I remembered. The mini-games were simplistic and almost a little insulting (draw a triangle? Really?) But after playing it a few times with an enthusiastic husband, I was reminded why this game has stood the test of time and still is one of the hardest games to get a hold of for under . It is incredibly addictive and fun to play, perfect for getting friends together for a fun evening. I'm over the dated graphics and now I'm addicted again. Just goes to show that everything the Mario franchise has touched is gold.
