I was told by a lot of people that this game was unlike the newer rockstars and that the missions and such were a lot more "open" and free to have more varied player input. I did not feel that at all when I played it. All I played was a janky and still mostly linear open world game which while impressive for the time, doesn't really hold a candle to the quality of later games from rockstar in both gameplay and story.

Easily the worst 2D Mario game and mainline Mario game in general. It's pathetically tiny even considering the platform it was on. This game also controls quite terribly for a multitude of reasons; the momentum feels bad, the physics, especially gravity, is really inconsistent, and the one power up this game has just isn't very useful. Overall the game was an interesting 30 minutes and that's all I can really give it, Its worth a play if you're a Mario fan and you want to play one of its worst games.

The gameplay and obviously visuals are a step up from CS:GO however the fact this is a replacement of that game but is missing half of the content is inexcusable. In its current state right now its an alright game that looks pretty and feels nice, but just needs more.

I would have given this an extra half star if they played the version of For Faith with unintelligible lyrics for the final boss theme.

I bought the ps5 bundle with this game because it was the only way to get a ps5 at the time and I've never felt compelled to open this game.

Every time I open this game I only feel compelled to beat it to say "I played Skyrim", I don't ever find it that much fun truth be told. Maybe that will change someday.

The gimmick makes this much worse than the rest of the mario party games but still it was decent fun for a time.

It sucks but I definitely had some fun with it at times.

I might be delusional because I think this game being incredibly slow and "boring" at times actually improves the experience this game has.

As a compilation I think it did enough beyond the bare minimum to not feel like a scam but I really wish they did more and gave more options, mainly a 60fps option for sunshine and 64, and a widescreen option for 64.

I wish playing the rest of the series didn't make this one so painful to play because the combo speed is tied to heat. Also story-wise I think this entry is great but for whatever reason I feel like it lacks the distinct charm the later games have for whatever reason. Regardless I think this is the best entry to get into the series with.

They got rid of monster energy......

Sorry Kojima tiktok made it too hard for me to play this game

What's there is incredibly good but the issue is that there's not really enough of it. If they made this its own game in a similar fashion to Gaiden I think this would be one of my favorite games in the series.
