    The first one was great. the second one was ok. the third one sucked. Mario party 4 is a sick disgrace of a video game. If your able to get through one game without throwing up and getting sick in the stomach, god bless you.

    This game sucks! You can not change the board Its a flat boring board the other parties have much nicer boards. Do not buy this game buy 5 6 or 7 instead.

    Looking back on all the Mario Parties made, it's clear to say this one's the dumbest. There's barely no point to the game, and the mini-games are the worst in the franchise. There's a lack power-ups and other needed sets running around the board, and the game will just ruin your experience. There's better party games out there. It lasted me 70 minutes before I decided how dull the gameLooking back on all the Mario Parties made, it's clear to say this one's the dumbest.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The worst Mario party game in the whole series besides the 3ds ones, the only reason this game gets any Upside to it is because of the story mode and final boss. Which were both just fun inclusions to the Somewhat okay story, but the stages and mini games were Both just completely Unfun. Especially if you get the bowser powerup which makes you take 30 coins from anyone you land on but luckily. You can't buy it in shop, and I think it's super rare to get but still. I Would Recommend it to any giant Mario party fans like the sub games are fun like theirs an oil one and a doctor one. Overall, I didn't like it that much but if you did good for you.… Expand

    The mini-games have different faces but they play ostensibly the same, and even with the visuals buffed to a sparkle the overall effect is very much ‘more of the same’.

    Does exactly what it sets out to do, and as such it comes highly recommended to anyone with more than one controller to their name.

    The minigames are just as goofy as ever, with only one or two clunkers amid dozens of fun challenges. [Nov 2002, p.218]
