This is a fantastic party game and in my opinion, the best in the franchise. The graphics have aged as expected for a Nintendo 64 game, but when you play you forget about them entirely. I've played with family and with friends and every time it was amazing. Only downside is that friendships may be destroyed by the Honeycomb Havoc minigame...
Mario Party 2 is a good game. But after some times has gone by, oh boy did I notice a lot of flaws with the game.
I will go ahead and say that the minigames are super nostalgic and can be really fun, the boards are also really cool, although there was only really one board I didn't enjoy that much, I particularly love that they give the characters matching outfits to fit with the theme of the board in question. However one of the things that bogs the game down a lot is the friggin' enemy AI. Regardless of difficulty there's going to be a lot of times where the AI are dumb as rocks and yet other times where it's impossible to beat them. Mecha Marathon being a prime example seeing as how it feels like they have super-human strength and you can't even get close to beating the AI. Of course some of the minigames are also not that great either, but not every minigame can be good. But I'd still say it's worth playing this game. Miles better than Mario Party 1 that's for sure.

When you've got 3 friends and this game. You're in for a very good time. No asterisks, no concessions, it's just a great time. This game makes many improvements off the first game with more balanced boards, better aesthetics and cool theming for each board, a better minigame selection, and classic music.
I can understand why some call this the best Mario Party game but I personally believe Mario Party 6 and Mario Party Superstars have it beat. This is still a great one and always has good vibes for multiplayer fun.

Mario Party 2 is definitely an improvement over the first game for sure. For starters, the boards don't suck ass now. In fact, I'd go as far to say that they're the best part about the game (except Mystery Land, that one's awful). The mini games have gone from shitty to...mixed. Some amazing ones, some poopy ones, it's a mixed bag but still an improvement over the first. Also a lot of the bullshit rules that made no sense from the first game have been fixed, thank GOD. I don't think Mairty Pairty Dos is the best one like most people do, but it's still pretty decent
