Mario Party 8 Review

[sMCCarthyTV1]

Why does Morgan look like she'sin her 40s?

[OnlyLosersReadThis]

Gamestop will pay you $20 for this game if you don't want it anymore. I'll probably stop by tomorrow to drop off this rather dull addition to the mario party series.

[Cpokemon12]

@brawlmaster08 if u watched the e3 trailer thenull know there will be one

[Swordofswordom]

Although Mario Party makes my blood boil, I will defend it by saying that graphics/visuals don't affect the core gameplay at all, and they probably pulled the really powerful power-ups because they might have been overpowered.

[CHEWYOURFOODNOW]

HOLY SHIT ITS THE TOP OF THE STAR SHIP FROM SUPER MARIO GALAXY!!!!!!11!!!1! OMFG!

[theluigifan1]

Why does Shy Guy sound like a cat and Koopa Troopa makes the sound of a Goomba when he's disappointed?

[theluigifan1]

Mario Party 8 was garbage. Mario Party 7 was incredible. Mario Party 6 was amazing. Mario Party 5 was fun. Mario Party 4 was outstanding. Mario Party 3-1 was phenomenal. This guy doesn't even give a shit about MP. He's being PAID to say this shit. Sometimes, the latest isn't always the greatest. X-Play has seriously gone downhill these past few years. ALL they care about is the graphics.. And the graphics were still horrible compared to the other GameCube Mario Party games. Nintendo, help us..

[worldsboss]

The hell are you talking about! Those graphics are fine you morons....

[ALEX84741]

sucking graphics? wtf? i dont think this game has bad graphics what the fuck is this guy talking about? :s i think is allright

[Hperman09]

@brawlmaster08 They cant. Nintendo cannot think of something new because they can't think of any new ideas for a mini-games and creativity for the game. Everytime a Mario party comes out, you noticed its get worser and worser as they get blasted by critics alike. So i don't think they can't make it anytime soon :P

[TheGalaxyFan]

I FUCKIN' LOVE MARIO PARTY

[ArmyGuy543]

They release a boat load of Mario Parties per console. Just look at how many were for the GCN!

3-7 were for it.

And even before the 64's days ended they pumped 2 Mario Parties into that.

[spideyman2099]

@ArmyGuy543 Actually Mario Party 3 was on N64

[MrTuri93]

Damn I miss the old days when I used to play Nintendo 64. So many good and fun memories

[X7fallensoulsX]

0:44 bowser sounds like he's wasted lol

[cwtekken12]

i miss the old x-play =(

[TheRageXIII]

Were talking about a mario game here! Who wants to swap the traditional cartoon look for next-gen?

[Corneliuscon124]

THERE WONT BE A MARIO PARTY 9! O_o

[Spriterist]

this review was really bad the old guy doesnt give mario party any credit at all.. its obvious hes just been payed to talk shit and he doesnt give 2 shit about half the games. Its a fantastic looking game and as for graphics its surposed to have a polished and shinny effect not extremely detailed if it was i think nintendo would be focusing on Mario games.. but yeah this review barely tributes the mario classic that we all know and love. enough from this guy get someone who knows games.

[TheWinMacLinTechie]

@Spriterist nah MP8 really sucked

[losatta123]

wow... All people play today are for the graphics.... I bet if there was a Dora game with the most amazing graphics ever, THEY WOULD PLAY IT!!!!!

[RaidarStudios]

@losatta123 Call of Dora - Boots Ops

[dallasdollars7]

Mario Party 8==D

[gamefreakY]

i hope that IF a mario party 9 is released (knowing nintendo, they won't just give up on the mario party series) a wi-fi function will be added. on the other hand, i feel it might be just mini-games online. or otherwise, SHORT games on the boards.

[nerftendo005]

I played this, and I honestly thought that it was the BY FAR the worst in the franchise.

[PushigirlDK]

The best game is Mario party 7. =). Really funny mini games,. and fun bowser games too. and also i love the 8 player future. =) Mario Party 8 was just a shame..

Mario party 5. was kinda okay. but the cpu's in there are so freaking anoying, I dont know about 6. since i havent played it. but 6 looks fun too. and ofcause the old originals are fun as always =). 1-3 mario party's

[nadavxp]

mario party 8 is underrated

[jonas658]

GREATEST MARIO GAMER EVER I WON IT!! I SHOULD GIVE IT 5 OUT OF 5

[Manatsujeki]

Oh sure, include a DK based level, but not the actual character himself. It's ingenious.

[Grandtendo54321]

This game is BAD compared to Mario Party 7.

[agubokwu]

do not let thease graphics fool you this game sucks i played it

[marcushelbling]

The first 2 are still my favorite.

[PeterOnoLennon]

sadly, there may never be a mario party 9.

[angrykyleproductions]

this game sucked as soon as I found out you cant play as Donkey Kong. What kind of bullshit is that!?!?

[Madnesscom9]

@angrykyleproductions Dude, They scrapped DK in MP 5, iirc

[PeterOnoLennon]

@Madnesscom9

i wish they wouldn't have.

[Madnesscom9]

@PeterOnoLennon Yeah :(

[mackywacky00]

3/5? I think it should get 5/5!

[theaweshnap]

@mackywacky00 wow, you do not know good games!

[mackywacky00]

@theaweshnap I do! Your'e just a someone who doesn't know me!

[Gio5Man]

ths game sucks

[cricketmad27]

I find this game to be slow paced, It takes forever. Not a fan of the boards in this. Too much luck and too many interactions per turn. The boards are way better on the original Mario Party but the actual mini-games are probably better on this although not as easy to pick up the rules etc as on the original. Still a decent game to have. The bonus stars are ridiculous though and purely luck. Winning mini games means nothing on this.

[BeanManIncorporated]

A 3/5!? This is like... my second favorite Mario Party! It should at LEAST be a 4!

[thegansta33]

Respond to this video... ha thats cool im on my wii right now

[azubikeu]

Hi carl

[gaaragirlgo98]

wait is toadsworth in this??

[MarioKartWii100]

They said DK Hideaway when it is really DK Treetop! Hideaway is King Boo's!!!

[LSLguy46]

Wow I hated this game Sooo much! My favorite Mario Party is 7 on GameCube.

[dstebbin]

Hey, which Mario Party did Xplay use the exact words "gay cruise" to describe?

I think they also had "abortion" in the review.

[XaviorOfAwesometon]

i like the newer one

[M2517Now1]

this game sucks, the wii sucks, mario sucks, gaytendo fagboys suck.

thats the cold hard truth.

[xxnukezxx]

@M2517Now1 your a fag

Thats the cold hard truth.

[M2517Now1]

@xxnukezxx oh i cant be a fag, since i crushed your mom so hard last night that you can say i destroyed her,she even said that you and ur dad were gay and had vaginas :)

[TROMAbryce]

@M2517Now1 Ha, usually people that play Wii are'nt hardcore gamers, they actually have lives and they get the Wii cuz they have freinds to play with (Since it's meant to be fun with alot of people) So you're actually the fag, go play WOW, go play some Halo 3, you can pretend the people on Xbox live are your freinds. i'll go be a gaytindo Fagboy and play wii with actual freinds. Nintendos the shit.

[M2517Now1]

@TROMAbryce i play with 3 of my cousins and 2 of my classmates on psn so yeah, you go have fun with italian plumbers and fairies gaytendo fag, and nintendo isn't the shit, it IS SHIT :)

[bizzaro42]

@M2517Now1 youre posting bad comments because you have nothing better to do arent you? well if you hate the wii so much, why dont you make a better game system!?! you were acting smart enough. if they only things you have to say are bad, then dont say anything.

[M2517Now1]

@TROMAbryce and most people who play the wii are the ones with no friends, and dont know who they're talking to, no headphones, no cameras, and miis rofl, they're even worse than xbox's avatars, and now i'm a fag because i chose the better console, haha, you make no sense you gaytendo fag.

[TROMAbryce]

@M2517Now1 Ha sorry guys, i was hella stoned when i posted that and i was playing Super Mario Galaxy and was fucking in love with my Wii. But yea dude, fuck Nintendo, Fuck PS3, Fuck Xbox, Who cares, It's just video games.

[Midnighthobo89]

@M2517Now1 at the risk of being flamed, why dont you do something better with your time than Trolling on nintendo review vids on youtube?

[TheSuperGamefreak]

when do ya think they are making MP9

[eddypikachu]

bowser sounds wierd

[FalloutMessiah]

mario party 8 stinks!

[alienorange]

the real estate board is probably the most fun to play. I had a blast with a few of my friends on that one, because there's a lot of thinking involved.

[SilverOmegaDotCom]

THIS IS THE BEST MARIO PARTY GAME EVER!!!! :D i still love the other mario parties though!!! :-)

[LSLguy46]

@SilverOmegaDotCom You just say that bcuz its on a Wii and that lil dildo remote!

And im not talking about the "Wii" we men have.

[SilverOmegaDotCom]

what? shut up!!

[davenrai]

mario party 8 is the worst one of them all

[SuperMysticSonic]

Agreed. Mario Party 3 was my personal favorite. Even Mario Party 4 beats this one.

[nerftendo005]

seriously, why do people say that these graphics are good for wii? that are absolutely NOT! this looks worse than the mario party games on the freaking gamecube!

[TheRagingBlast]

I have Component Cables and I do have to say that this game actually uses it.

[nerftendo005]

i totally agree with the review, i didn't like this game

[SilverOmegaDotCom]

G4 really doesn't know how to review games which is really sad.

[life4everyeah]

mario party 8 has less minigames than i imagined

i love mario party 6 better

[peppypenguin101]

well its no wonder they dont make more gamers always shun new ones

[Beatles4office]

This game is only truly fun with your friends , thats were the game gets picked up, by no means is this a bad game fun for the family i think but if your a mario party fan get this game or if u want some great mini games ( beats Wii play, wii play is usless, only tanks is fun, and i've played wii play once never been played again)

[jazonguzilatar89]

The graphics is actually good if X360 and ps3 are not around.

[horrorfreak888]

thats true but it does look really blocky at times on some games

[jazonguzilatar89]

That happens

[xYiazmatx]

Nintendo hasn't really attempted good graphics >.> They like seperating themselves from xbox and ps3, theres nothing wrong with that but Its getting kind of dull in my opinion, kind of the same old stuff every time.

[pokemongivers]

Nintendo did try to get away from the outher consols like PlayStation and X-box

they wanted a console that seemed like it was made for the whole family and would appeal to all ages now nintendo has released some great game that are a bit bloody and hard core but they are just not wereth the time the bad graphics and constent moving of your hands will kill you 8X

[bretert]

MP 1-3 were good, after that.. milked

[MrChadWarden]

in my opinipn mario part get overused after n64

[luigisuperferb8]

i liked mp4cuz it was the only old mp i had, and it wuz FUN!

[Hablero]

Never played 1-3. The minigames look fun, but the graphics suck.

I played 4-7 and my only favorite ones were 4 and 6.

Mario Party 8 has kickass music, but they seem to run out of ideas, atleast for the minigames.

[fireluigi12]

the graphics of the n64 games "suck" because its n64 as i already said.

[Hablero]

I know that.... N64 = Suckish Graphics.

[fireluigi12]

the "suckish graphics" were the only ones they could have at the time. they were great at the time and btw graphics dont make a good game.

[Hablero]

I'm guessing you don't get what I mean. I'm not saying just because it has bad graphics that it's a bad game. I hardly care about graphics. I was just pointing out the goods and the bads in each game.

[fireluigi12]

well, i would call the graphics primitive, but not bad.

[sonic121421224122314]

mp1 mp2 mp3 mp4 mp5 mp6 mp7 are better sorry for my voice :P

[pear406]

Mario party is the worst game I've ever played. Ever. When are people gonna stop buying this shovelware?

[muffinsmycat]

gtfo nigger

[pear406]

It's not relevant whether I'm black or not, and I'm not. You could've just told me you disagreed instead of being a dickhead. kthx

[kylesfate]

its fun when you have like 4 people :)

[pear406]

True, but there's nothing really new in it.

Mario Party 8 isn't much different from MP 7, which in turn wasn't much different from MP 6, etc.

[kylesfate]

They should just stick with MP 7 - And have add-ons, and yeah, i see your point.

[VOND3RF3CHT]

but if its the first MP game ppl played, its really fun. it was my first MP game and it was a blast

[jolteonown]

it would be cool if they made a game with just the mini games from all past mario party games. that would be so awesome!

[webkinzandmario]

It would be called Mario Minigame Party and the sections would be Mario Party 1 Mario Party 2 Mario Party 3 Mario Party 4 Mario Party 5 Mario Party 6 Mario Party 7 Mario Party 8 HandHeld Minigames Mario Party Ds hopefully they would be more Handheld versions of the game

[chazden]

i remember mario party 1 or 2 on n64 was the funnest shit ever

[Mayetala]

Don't forget mario party 3! =D

[TDOGyaaa]

mario party 8 rocks it should be 5/5 not 3/3

[nausfilmstudios]

not all the new games are bad! Some retro games stink too

[DotA4lifewoot]

dont ever fucking begin to think about one day muttering ANYTHING about metroid.

[katthetone]

mario party 2 is the bomb i like it over most sept 8 there even

[justinwalivideogamer]

MP2 & MP6 rule

[pieking83]

the 4th one is good

[BlackSoldier560]

when i was much younger me and my brother and sister would love playin mario party 1-3. after the 4th one it got dumb

[datsyuk13rules]

to be honest i completely agree

my friend has 7 on the gamecube and i played it and it blows.......i recently played 4 and 5 and they arnt good compared to

1-3

[Falcons7m11]

my favorite was mario party 3 cause of the mini games

[mariofreak15243]

what? this was shit compared to the others give it a 2

[OddsterDude]

These people are WRONG!!!! at least give it a 4 out of 5!

[TheSonicgirl101]

I LIKE MARIO PARTY 8 THOUGH

[smilekiller9]

i think the very very very first mario game ever made was the best

[danm966]

I always thought that Mario Party is RIGGED.

[Permafry42]

same here, and so do my brothers

[WiiForDaWin]

selenarox1212 is RIGHT THERE IS 10 Mario Partys

Mario party 1-3 for N64

Mario Party 4-7 for GCN

Mario Party 8 for Wii

Mario Party Advance for GBA

and Mario Party DS

Why you giving her a thumbs down for that? I think you guys are the wrong ones :P

[TeitiTT]

@WiiForDaWin Actually there is more: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, advance, DS and a e-reader version, 12 MP's.

[thegem29]

@TeitiTT theres no mario party 9

[TeitiTT]

@thegem29 Yes, my mistake...

[Legometallica09]

@WiiForDaWin i have all 10 XD

[Japancommercials4U2]

@WiiForDaWin There's thirteen with the three Arcade games but yeah, those are the ones on the consoles.

[xLweegee]

Mario Part 8 sucked major ass.

[SkidRamrock]

lol, ur SO right on the issues.

[fanofmichealjackson6]

lol have u herd bowser voice its the gayest voicei herd plus everyone else i laughing to death lol

[rockout818]

they should make a mario game for the xbox360

[ragrappy00]

are you retarded?

[nodqisme222]

yep that's going to happen, actually they have one out now....... Mario in That Has no Chance of Happening

[azcomember1]

i wish mario party 9 have better graphic

and also that it have´s classic mini games of the nintendo 64 but with new

way to play.

[imaturtlegurl]

does anyone knows what happens, if anything, when you have bought everything at the Fun Bazaar? please reply! -thanks

[selenarox1212]

theres actually 10 mario parties

[tIs4gatorbait]

i havent played this yet but i have always thought the wii moving controller thing would make the mini games even more fun than they already were. by this, the game looks a little too much, i just want the simpler styles where you just roll dice and have certain bad and good squares, a few sabotages,maybe teleports, stars, and of course minigames.

[Danielrulz00]

mario kart wii is better than mario party 8 by a little

[Danielrulz00]

mario party 8 rocks

[Teknoblade]

Mario Party 3 was the last great release. The game's fixed-angle view looks so much better than this game.

Just think of all the content you could have in Mario Party 9 if the graphics were as simple and clean as the N64 games, Nintendo.

[Untotedrachen]

I Love this Game <3

[kylanmon]

mario party 9 should have online play

tha'd be sick

[ilikrandomness]

mario party 9 should come out by now

[kevinmat]

are they making one for sure?

[ilikrandomness]

i meant it should havee come out by now.

[AllanT101]

I think 5 maybe 6 was the last good one. it got a little old after a while.

[insultman911]

no more mario party games. theyve already made 10 of them and that seems to be the limit.

1-3 on N64

4-7 on Gamecube

8 on Wii

Mario Party Advance on Gameboy

Mario Party Ds on Ds

[Nintendo444YTA]

no theyve had 12 In Japan 11 here ur forgetting Marip party E for the ereader. and its not over

[insultman911]

BLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH

[masterofdoom5000]

i think when he talked about mario party being in the same developers hands for ages was a good point, itd be nice if they let someone else try their hand and see how they do, or maybe get some more people in on the work, like a mario party 9 made by a multitude of developers to see what they can scrounge up

[foamyfan231]

I honestly hate this game, why? its just not a true Mario Party game, the gamecube games are fine but this one I hate cause they don't use the classic sounds, the music on maps aren't as good as the ones on the other games. Example remember the Mystery land map on Mario Party 2? THAT ONE WAS AWESOME!!!! The games feel bland and boring to me but its still fun though

[ninendowii2000]

8 and ds owns]

[ShyGuy2000]

Mario party 1-5 were my favorites. Their graphics weren't the best, but there wasn't SO many add ons that it killed the gameplay. And Nintendo is going to start running out of minigame ideas here within marioparty 9 and 10.

[villevalo25]

3 stars was to generous mario party games havent been the same since 4 i personally hated mario party 8

[SaMOOOrai]

I just prefer maps based on go to the star pay for the star and be happy. anything else gets annoying real fast

[vuk49]

I prefer Mario Party 4 over 8

[StJimmy1520]

I really enjoy this game.

[jonnyO117]

they are done with mario party. They killed it after 6

[KrillinXL]

Mario Party 8 just sucked.

I love Nintendo, but this game just flat out sucked.

Hopefully Mario Party 1, 2, and 3 come to the virtual console.

[JakAndDaxter5]

I prefer Mario Party 5 and 6 over 8

[mariohead3]

How many Mario Party games are Nintendo planning to make?

[JackLORDofTOASTppl]

84156 more XD

[FPSOWner]

probably XD

[idonthaveacoolcar]

i like the old xplay beter

[mariohead3]

Seriously. Now, X-Play is all news and crap like that. And they might have one or two reviews every episode.

[drunkarag]

yep

[runningman127]

I hate these games. Stupid and boring. STOP NINTENDO! Work on Metroid and Zelda!

[QJD1381]

I love Mario Party. And this review rocked.

[TheBigDeeDeeDee]

i love the reviewer dude

[bigdog2003421]

Man mario party fell of so bad...maybe cuz i started growin....i want my child hood back *tears*

[runningman127]

How many more of these can there be? I hate Mario Party games.

[SlimShady5677]

i hate your mom HAHAHAHHAHAHHAHA im sorry i was just kidding b4 i get hate mail :D

[SlimShady5677]

loser. who spams i mean come on dude ur making everyone and ur self's life miserble.

[killblade99]

i also dont like bowsers voice o.O

[ookooweb]

I agree (at mario party 8)

[SlimShady5677]

i know what happened to him he sounds like he has a bad cough when he laughs :D

[PrivateMaster]

3 out of 5. Not too shabby. This game is still good.

[mixtureofvideos8547]

Well in the Xplay ratings 101 viseo they say that a 3 is normal. Not great, Not bad

[PrivateMaster]

In their comments about the ranks out of 5..

1: Terrible

2: A little poor

3: Not too shabby

4: Pretty Cool

5: Outstanding

Hey this is a c
