NDcube decided they weren't going to make godawful Mario Party's anymore. So they made one that was just okay. The boards are ridiculously simple, and the fact that the spaces are clearly confined to a grid makes them feel very uninspired. The fact that there are only four is almost insulting. The mini-games have always been the most consistent aspect of Mario Party and this one has some absolute bangers. Surprisingly enough, the Partner Party mode was the most fun I had with the game. It does make me want future Mario Party games to add separate modes like it. This is a game that could've greatly benefited from free updates (like Mario Tennis Aces) to add more content and maybe make this game worth returning to. For now, keep your Wii around if you wanna play Mario Party.
