    This game is mediocre. there's no denying it. the game has some good points, but we've seen it before. this game holds nothing new and revolutionary. just a decent game that is to be enjoyed with a couple friends for a couple hours.

    I have to admit this is a really good game when it comes to a family game night, but anything else is just a little boring. The star bank, the day and night system is absolutely creative if you think about it, but the boards could have been a bit bigger.

    Mario Party 6 is definitely still a good time, Though Mario Party is starting to get slightly tedious.

    THE GameCube Mario Party of choice here, it takes everything good from Mario Party 4 and makes it a darn sight better, with some of the best board designs the series has ever seen and a new rule that manages to get the mix between not feeling pointless and not feeling too gimmicky.
    That new rule is the day and night rule, which means that the first three turns take place in daytime, then    THE GameCube Mario Party of choice here, it takes everything good from Mario Party 4 and makes it a darn sight better, with some of the best board designs the series has ever seen and a new rule that manages to get the mix between not feeling pointless and not feeling too gimmicky.
    That new rule is the day and night rule, which means that the first three turns take place in daytime, then the next three turns take place at night, then the next three turns take place at daytime, and so on. This addition is not merely for aesthetic purposes, but actually changes certain attributes on the board you choose, such as star prices, shop prices and tweaking the happening spaces in certain ways.
    Overall, this is as good as Mario Party gets, even though there are still annoying things you have to put up with [i'm looking at you, microphone mode]. Also mini-games are good, but thats obvious, right?    … Expand

    This game, although overrated, is still a great multiplayer experience and after the mediocre Mario Party 5, they took out the garbage (60% of the game), and replaced it with a fun day and night mechanic that never feels gimmicky.

    Just as polished as the rest of the series, striking just the right balance between familiar and fresh material. [Feb 2005, p.99]

    Feeling somewhat bland against some of its predecessors, Mario Party 6's games come off as lacking in skill, not to mention creativity; the coating may look different, but the core concepts are incredibly repetitive. [Feb 2005, p.106]

    Offers too much tedium and not nearly enough fun, mic or no mic.
