I played this for the first time at a friends house a couple of nights ago, and I know I'm suppose to hate the car formula with a burning passion, but coming back to it after several years, I didn't hate it. Granted it might've been a byproduct of having fun with the people around me, but it was refreshing revisiting this take on Mario Party. I think this formula works best as a once in a while thing, Mario Party can get a little tiring and repetitive if you're not super into it; so if want something a little quicker with boss fights, this one isn't bad
