    Quite a fun game, very colourful, amusing minigames. Playing bowser is fun and they make good use of the gamepad features. Lots of replay value and good range of unlockables. Recommended.

    When I bought this game, I assumed it would annoy me as much as the 3DS one. Glad to say this is one of the most enjoyable Mario Parties in recent years. The graphics are nice, the sound is usual Nintendo goodness.

Glad to say this is one of the most enjoyable Mario Parties in recent years. The graphics are nice, the sound is usual Nintendo goodness.
    If you have 2-4 friends around, you'll have a great time with Bowser Party, the Bowser vs 4 mode where the mighty Koopa King's goal is to destroy all of Mario and friends hearts before they get to the end of the board. Might sound easy, but in the car thing from Mario Party 9, the 4 players have to race to the end, collecting extra hearts and special dice blocks to help them on their way, while avoiding certain spaces that will give Bowser the advantage or move you back. Once all players have their dice roll, they can only hope that Bowser''s 4 dice rolls don't get them, or else there will be a minigame with survival on the line. Games of Bowser party can get crazy, with most games being a close race to the end with barely any hearts. Greatest edition to Mario Party in my opinion.
    Then if u have 2-4 Wii Remotes, you can have an enjoyable time with Mario Party. Most people who played one of the older Mario Party titles will probably dislike this, because of the "everyone moving in the same car" thing, and all boards being linear. I can understand that, and it would've been nice if they added a classic Mario Party style board or 2, but maybe they'll learn for the eventual #11. But if you don't mind linear, you'll have a good time. It's basically all 4 of you taking turns rolling dice, collecting Mini-Stars, while trying to avoid the Dark Mini Stars, with a couple of minigames thrown in if you land on the vs spaces. This is also a bad idea. Why the hell are their spaces for the minigames? They should be after every turn, not if your lucky and land on one. Then at the halfway point and the end, you'll have a Boss minigame, where you have to defeat an enemy with strange and fun minigames, with different bosses with each stage. Overall, a fun mode with mates, but personally prefer Bowser Party.
    Now, if you like the original style Mario Party, you might enjoy amiibo party. It plays like a bare bones version of the boards of the old. Go around the board, collect coins, buy stars, minigames, sounds good. The major problem with this mode is amiibo. This could have easily just been a classic Mario Party mode. Also, it feels weird constantly touching on and off your amiibo from the NFC place to do majority of the board functions in this mode. Also, it feels unnecessary that it needs to wipe Smash Bros data.
    I still had fun with the mode, but do not play if you don't want to wipe your Lv. 50 Luigi that taunts after every kill. If you have the money to buy separate amiibos for Mario Party, you'll have fun.
    I haven't played all the minigames yet, but there seems to be a wide range of them. If you dislike the ones that revolve around luck, you can thankfully turn them off. And beyond the minigames you play on the board, there's also a "Connect the 4 or more different gems so you don't over the top and lose" game and badminton. Badminton was strangely fun with friends for some reason.
    This game is enjoyable, but I wish they had more boards to play on. 5 boards for Mario Party? Even less for Bowser Party? You got access to a larger disk size and you barely put any different boards on it. Also, more Bowser Party minigames would be nice, because I feel it'll get boring with the same minigames over and over again. I also wish they had more characters to play as, or better choices for characters. Spike in this game seems like a weird choice to me and I'm one of those people who TRULY hates the fact that Rosalina is becoming playable in every damn Nintendo game. STOP IT, PLEASE! All she did was own a ship, and sit on her ass and read a book in Super Mario Galaxy. Are there really that many fans of Rosalina?
    Overall, worth the money I spent. If you don't have friends that come over to your place often, or REALLY hate the car's return from MP9, don't. If you aren't one of those people, you'll have a blast.    … Expand

    For the people who have played the other recent Mario Party games like 8 and 9 and were hoping that 10 tried to change the series around will be sadly disappointed. Mario Party 10 is sadly more of the same with board layout and tiles being extremely similar to past games. The mini games in 10 are quite fun tho, some much better than others and are a nice break from the rest of the game.For the people who have played the other recent Mario Party games like 8 and 9 and were hoping that 10 tried to change the series around will be sadly disappointed.

They still have 2v2 , 1v3 and free for all mini games and Bowser will show up often to rain on your parade. Some of the more frustrating elements have been toned down in 10 like Boo stealing your stars over and over but that doesn't mean the game is without it's headaches, You can still go from first to last or last to first in a few turns with blind luck witch can be easily frustrating. Mario Party 10 is a fun game for a few rounds but after 2 or 3 times around the board you will find yourself, well...bored. Games like Mario 3D World and Mario Kart 8 seem to do a much better job for games to play with friends. Fans of the Mario Party Series should try to find themselves of number 8 or check the Nintendo E-Shop for some of the classic Mario Party titles.… Expand

    This game is very good in terms of its colorful graphics but the vehicle is why less people are getting it. For me I personally enjoy with the car of without the car. Maybe can just try to at least play the game for once and focus it on other reviews. But this game is good but not better than MP9 due to Amiibo Party

    Mario Party 10. A game in which you and your friends are supposed to have lots of casual, lighthearted fun. What's not to love in this recipe? Gloriously colorful graphics, beloved characters, simple formula, astonishing Nintendo Sound Delight, quite a lot of really fun minigames... Really, what is here not to love?

    Quite a few things, sadly. See, I am a newcomer to the series. I know    Mario Party 10. A game in which you and your friends are supposed to have lots of casual, lighthearted fun. What's not to love in this recipe? Gloriously colorful graphics, beloved characters, simple formula, astonishing Nintendo Sound Delight, quite a lot of really fun minigames... Really, what is here not to love?

    Quite a few things, sadly. See, I am a newcomer to the series. I know that earlier installment of this game had a different core of a mechanic, in which each player had its own pawn to move around the board, strengthening the sense of competition. You could easily see who was triumphing and who was falling behind. And therefore, I understand Nintendo decision to change it and drop all players into a single vehicle, so all of the players progress the same way and the victory is mostly decided on how well they are handling themselves in the minigames and of course on a stroke of luck. Less frustration, right? And you know what? It works! Thanks to this change in the core mechanic all players are always engaged 100%, because no one have a feeling that they are horribly behind others with no visible chance at redemption and victory.

    And that is the point in which Bowser Party mode fails to some degree. I /love/ the idea of this mode. Gosh, it's pretty darn brilliant! A whole team of friends fighting not against computer, not between themselves, but against another living player who not only try to outwit them in various mischievous ways on the board but also will test his buddies mettle in brutally delightful minigames of carnage, where as Bowser we aim to eliminate other players swiftly. It sounds, looks and at first plays beautifully, it looks like so much fun!

    And it is! Sometimes, that is... The biggest failing in Bowser Party is how uneven the games can be. We play one time, and it's amazing - lots of tension, narrow escapes, reviving buddies by winning hearts, minigames pretty much every round... It was a total blast! But then we play another game, and it's the Most Boring Thing in the Universe. Bowser tosses like a pansy and can barely catch the party once or twice in the course of whole game... Basically turning the whole experience into tossing a dice and moving through the board. Thrilling? i don't think so.

    The elimination also kills the fun, it's a usual problem with the 'you are out' mechanic. It's a party game, right? I and /all of my buddies/ wants to have fun, right? So how can they have fun when I basically out them off the game? I had a game once when 3 out of 4 players were eliminated halfway through the map and until the very end of the game they never jumped in... And so 3 people were just watching 2 others plays. Riveting.

    And to add another minus to the list above... /THREE/ boards? THREE? Huh... The boards are lovely, both in look and design, and they offer quite a bit of fun, but since they are always adamantly the same, the replayability of them dwindles rapidly away. Shame!

    Why 7 then out of 10? 7 is quite a high grade, it means "it's good, It's fun, but it is flawed enough to not be considered great in any way". And that's MP10 for me... It's beautiful. It sound amazing. It /offers quite a few sweet thrills/ and you will have fun with it. But it lacks meat on the bone, so to speak, and on occasion it will let you down...    … Expand

Once you catch up to them, you're all force to play a Bowser minigame. This minigames focused on getting rid of all the hearts from all of the players. Once that player run out of hearts, he or she is out of the game, unless the remaining players managed to restore their hearts. I also like the addition of Rosalina & Spike to the mix. Rosalina is my favorite character, and Spike is a interesting choice. Finally, the minigames are pretty fun, too.

    But this game does have some flaws. One of my bigger problems in the return of the vehicle gameplay from Mario Party 9. It wasn't well received in that game, and it doesn't do well in this game. It takes away a lot of the fun stuff the old format had. Another thing is the lack of content. There aren't many modes, boards, and I which there were more things to unlock. The minigames, though fun, also had some things lacking. I'm specifically talking about 2-vs-2 and 1-vs-2/3 minigames. I way kinda disappointed that there were only 10 minigames in both of those category.

    This game does support amiibos. Taping an amiibo from the Mario series will unlock amiibo mode, where a board based on the character you placed can be played on. Those amiibos are: Mario, Luigi, Peach, Toad, Yoshi, Wario, Rosalina, Donkey Kong, & Bowser. Any other amiibos allows you to play scratch cards to win Mario Party Points, which are used to unlock stuff.
    The amiibo mode used the old gameplay from Mario Party 1-8. Where you collect coins and try to get as many stars as possible. While I like that they did return the old gameplay, I don't understand while it's only in amiibo mode. Also, the boards are particularly the same, just with different stuff add on it.

    Overall, Mario Party 10 is mostly fun when you're playing with friends. Bowser Party is a blast, and the minigames are fun, but the lack of content can turn you off. A game for family fun, or if you're a fan of the Mario Party series.    … Expand

The variety this game has is awesome, and the snappy titles for all the mini-games make it easy to know which game to play! I have been a Mario fan, and I always will be.

    If you have some friends over with time to kill, it is not a bad choice, the different game modes can be fun to run through, the bowser mode bringing a new challenge to the game.... most of this games ideas were great starts but the finished product leaves much to be desired.... A fun party game but definitely not fun for a single player and probably won't keep you coming back for more.

    While fun, what Mario Party 10 suffers most is the lack of content. there are 3 modes you can play with AI controlled members or the amiibo game board (i forgot the 3rd one) and while Mario Party 10 brings new fun into the table, it certainly isn't worth 60 bucks but for 30 or 20 i would recommend it if you want something to play with your friends

However, unlike in Mario Party 9, the individual movement is still present, although to a limited capacity, as it is only accessible through amiibo Party mode, which, as the name suggests, requires a compatible amiibo figure to play. On top of that, the amiibo Party boards are quite linear, which is disappointing, considering that more money needs to be spent to purchase an amiibo. Regardless of the negatives, Mario Party 10 has positive aspects, such as the minigames being as fun as ever, especially the new Bowser Party minigames, which I had a blast playing.

    I have played all of the Mario Party games, and my least favorite ones are definitely 10 and 9. I think that it's really essential to have the players moving separately on the board, and that there are all kinds of items you can use to mess up with them. These enable you to have some sorts of tactics how to win, but in 9 and 10, it feels like you can't really do anything but rely on luck.I have played all of the Mario Party games, and my least favorite ones are definitely 10 and 9.

There are three different game modes to play from and they are Mario Party, Bowser Party, or Amiibo Party.    Pros:
    - Amiibo compatibility
    - Option to play as Bowser
    - More unique party gamemode

    Cons:
    - Fewer game modes than Mario Party 9

    “Mario Party 10” is a party-based game where you can play with friends or cons (computers) that try to beat you in minigames and in party mode. There are three different game modes to play from and they are Mario Party, Bowser Party, or Amiibo Party. It is kind of like you are living game pieces playing on a giant game board where the enemy is always Bowser, Baby Bowser, or some other miniboss. The game was published by Nintendo and released on March 12, 2015. The game was developed by Nd Cube and released for the Wii U starting at a price of $49.99.

    When I first discovered this game I was really happy to see another “Mario Party” game had come out. I loved the last game, “Mario Party 9” that I knew that I would enjoy the newest release very much. So I asked for the at Christmas during 2015, but unfortunately, I didn’t get the game until the next Christmas where I did get it and I was so happy! So, what I did on that Christmas morning was, I played the game hoping that it would be great because since I loved to play the last release a lot. I was kind of disappointed to see the final product because I just didn’t get that feeling of excitement while I was playing.

    People that I would recommend this game, are people that just like to have a party any date and time. I would not recommend this game to people who are very social and actually go out and eat with friends and family unless that person would happen to be a gamer. “Mario Party 10” is rated “E” for everyone of all ages. My final word about this game is the word “ok.”

    My overall experience with the game is surprisingly not as exciting as I thought it would be. The minigames are probably the best part of the whole game which is not a very good thing because the main picture is supposed to be all about the party mode. Graphics are pretty good like most Nintendo-published games, as well as the controls, they’re pretty easy to learn and get the hang of quickly. I definitely did enjoy playing this game for the most part because of the feature of being able to select any minigame when not in party mode.

    I must say this is one of the more different Mario party games. I believe that the Wii U gamepad was well used in new features such as Bowser party and unlocking him in Mario party. The mini-games are quite often luck based which is bad as there is absolutely no reward for skill. I do still believe that Mario party 2 is the best installment so far.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Mario Party 10 is a mixed bag. The Mario party formula from 9 has returned but has also been expanded. Bowser Party has been added and is actually very fun. But a third of the game is locked behind an amiibo paywall so some people may only experience Mario Party and Bowser Party.

    Firstly, the minigames are very good. There are a lot of skill based games which do not get enough praise. Ice Slide You Slide and Peepa Panic are both very good, competitive and intense skill-based games. Bowser Party is also a nice addition. It has its flaws such as bias but the general experience is a good one.

    It is the Mario Party that is the problem. The style from Mario Party 9 has returned and I'm not too happy about it. Granted, it is better than 9. It is still far below the quality seen on the N64 and Gamecube. While the minigames are good, they appear so rarely in Mario Party mode that you may have a whole game with only 3 or 4 minigames.

    Overall, while it has its flaws, Mario Party 10 has many good aspects which does provide a solid experience. However, for Wii U party games, I recommend Wii Party U instead.    … Expand

    Mario Party 10 stands out from the roster of great Wii U party games. [07/2015, p.71]

    Too skill-less for adults, too random for kids, Mario Party hangs on its largely uninspired minigames. [May 2015, p.79]

    All three groups will merely be content, not delighted. [Issue#160, p.96]
