    Colourful, playful and ultimately---nintendoesque. I've been playing it with my 3 children for a while now and it is brilliant fun. We are huge Mario fans in our house and we adore this game. A must for all nintendo fans and families.

    Game is really fun and worth the money. These people did NOT play it. I got it today and it is great. Everything works as the minigames are as fun as they have ever been.

    After reading negative reviews across the web, I was hesitant to get this game. After watching game play on the 20th, I decided to give it a go. This is a fantastic game, and most of the reviews are very inaccurate.

This is a fantastic game, and most of the reviews are very inaccurate. All three main game modes are a blast, and they are different enough (including different mini-games) that the game doesn't get stale. One car has upset most reviewers, but it's a great addition With specific bonus dice, you can easily set up the next person to fail by putting them in a bad spot. You have complete control over the location of the next person, forcing them to hit a space that takes away their stars. This is far more strategic than everyone moving on their own. Additionally, the amiibo support is great. Just as you would with a real board game, you use your game piece on every move, simulating the movement you would do on a real board game. I'm not sure why this has been lost on most reviewers, but it seems that the obvious is not always obvious for everyone.

    The addition of bonus games puts this installment of mario party over the top. Each bonus game is easily a $6 or $7 dollar game on it's own, the inclusion keeps the game even more interesting and fun.

    Overall, this is a fantastic game. The mini-games are a blast and vary by game type, the strategy is intense and fun, and the bonus games add a level of fun that isn't seen in most games. Give this game a shot, or at least watch game play before coming to a decision about it. Another solid release by Nintendo.    … Expand

    The graphics and soundtrack are spectacular! Minigames really Really FUN!

    This is, in my opinion, the best of the "Party" games so far, In this game, players go through a mini game filled board, trying to reach the end of the track in first place and with the most points.

Points are given for various reasons, most of which are winning mini games. This game mode is called Classic Mario Party. This seems simple enough, but Mario Party 10 takes this familiar game style and turns it on its head a bit by adding Bowser, and calling it….Bowser Party. Very creative. Bowser races around the game too, but instead of trying to win, he is simply trying to wreck everything and make your game less fun. He does this by swapping rules in games, inventing painful Bowser based mini games where your players are smashed, burned and swept away. Sometimes he just steals all your points. My son thoroughly enjoys the Mario Party line of games and was incredibly excited to play as Bowser in this most recent addition to the series. The game is well worth it for the little guy, he loves playing as Bowser and enjoys it even more with extra people playing. The more, the better. The game also supports Amiibo figures to unlock added fun in the game, as well as a special game mode called Amiibo Party. My son loves it, my husband loves it- it's good for everyone here. We all also like using the Amiibo as well.… Expand

    There is literally nothing better than playing as Bowser, if you're a fan of the franchise you need to pick this up. Amiibo party is lackluster, but hardly anyone is going to buy this hoping for a great amiibo party experience.

    The amiibo mode is actually a lot more fun than I thought it would be considering how small the board is. It is very reminiscent of the classic mario party 1 gameplay style, and there are enough complexities to this mode that it actually does end up being fairly skill based (you can even select the minigame pack for this to be "no luck"). Negative dice roll blocks, warp pipes, swapping board pieces, powerup tokens, minigames after every round with legitimate reward values all add up to a great time.    … Expand

    If you're wondering about Amiibo usage, it basically opens up a very basic gameboard, with a relatively shallow experience. I did find that part of the game to be an afterthought. Thankfully there was enough content in the game to merit the purchase, and make for a great time thus far.

    Good family fun! Mario Party 10 is not an amazing game, it is (much like other games in the series) fun when playing with friends or family. Being able to play as the nemesis - Bowser, is definitely the most fun addition. On the negative side, the game is by no means deep and the unlockables are anemic. Great fun as a board game with variety.

    I thought this game was going to be absolutely terrible when I saw that they brought back the car from MP9. The gimmicks weren't selling it for me, so I wrote it off as more IP abuse. When a friend brought the game over, I was pleasantly surprised. The main mode "Mario Party" is almost exclusively random and quite dull, but the other game modes is where this game truly shines.

    Bowser Party offers a huge shift in strategy and competitive balance that this franchise sorely needed. Sometimes it can seem like the coms are out to get you, but the team-based all-on-one gameplay is refreshing and offers great contrast to the free-for-all that is usually the case for Mario Party.

    Amiibo Party (compatible Amiibo required) goes back to MP roots and gives each player a spot on the board in which the goal is to exchange coins for stars. The minigames are more balanced now with 1st being awarded 15 coins, 2nd getting 10, 3rd getting 5, and last getting nothing so there isn't such a huge gap between the person who wins the minigames and everyone else. The game is also quite generous with giving players special dice, so you can actually use strategy in planning your moves rather than it being totally random. You can even unlock more boards and extra stuff for your amiibo through playing - now that's a reason to play! It's a shame that they didn't include more stuff like Boo, a shop, or bonus stars because this could have been the definitive version of Mario Party in my opinion. My only issues with this mode is that you can't choose how long the game lasts, you have to touch the amiibo to the gamepad for literally any action, and the player with the amiibo sometimes gets extra items which gives them an unnecessary and unfair advantage. Trust me though, the fun of this mode outweighs the negatives.

    There are also achievements and unlockables which give you a reason to come back and keep playing the game. The extra modes are actually pretty fun and help diversify the game's content. The most unfortunate thing about this game is the relatively small amount of content compared to other Mario Partys. There are only three boards for Bowser Party and the only type of item in Amiibo Party is special dice, which is a shame because those are the best two modes. If Nintendo adds more boards/minigames through an update, this game could be as good (or maybe even better!) than the N64 masterpieces, and that's really saying something.    … Expand

I was relieved to find the end game random star dump that made the n64 and Game Cube versions feel unfair and the winner arbitrary. There are still end game start rewards but they aren't the game changers they once were, now they feel more like tie barkers.

    The mini games are fun and varied, I also liked the two main modes. Bowser party felt sort of unfair for everyone but me playing as Bowser on our first go though, but we got the hang of the mini games and it become much more fun. Classic mode was fun right out the gate. I have amiibo for the amiibo party but I have to admit I don't see using it much, but nice touch.

    If you are looking for a party game to include your friends that aren't into Mario Kart or Smash this is perfect. Ideal for larger parties as the games last 15 to 30 min each, you need next to no game experience to get the hang of this and it's easy to put down and pick back up.    … Expand

    Mario Party 10 continues the infamous car mechanic that began in Mario Party 9 and sparked some controversy. Thankfully, that doesn't make it bad.

It keeps the gameplay a bit simpler and not as disjointed as it would if everyone was in different places in a giant board.

    As MP9 was my first Mario Party title, the return of the car is not a negative in my book. It keeps the gameplay a bit simpler and not as disjointed as it would if everyone was in different places in a giant board. I have no problem with the mechanic whatsoever.

    Mario Party 10 has three main modes: Mario Party, Bowser Party, and amiibo Party. Mario Party mode uses the car gameplay on five boards. Different spaces on the boards will earn you different things. One space might give you a special dice block and another will give you a minigame. The minigames are uniquely designed and I always found myself wanting more. For me, it was a bit rare to get a minigame which is a shame as they are a real highlight, particularly the boss battles.

    Bowser Party puts one player on the GamePad as Bowser and the others on the TV. Bowser has to make all the normal players on Team Mario lose all of their hearts so he can win. Despite being very excited for it pre-launch, I was a bit disappointed with the mode. There are very few boards to play on and Bowser only has a measly 10 minigames to play. It feels a bit incomplete.

    amiibo Party is more enjoyable than I expected but it's not amazing. Players move separately in this mode, controlling their amiibo (or cardboard cutout) on a plain square board. The layout of the board doesn't bring the mode down, however, because each character's board will have a clever twist implemented into it. For example, on Bowser's board there is a giant Bowser roulette statue that will determine how many bad spaces are created on the board. It's not a super addictive mode but it's not bad by any means.

    Overall, Mario Party 10 is great fun but it feels a bit lacking in some aspects. The GamePad is used extensively which is nice but it never quite reaches my expectations or my experience with Mario Party 9 for that matter.    … Expand

You have standard Mario Party mode, where you'll traverse a board in a vehicle and compete to collect the most mini-stars, Bowser Party where Bowser will terrorize players (or one player can be Bowser), and Amiibo Party, where you can play using traditional Mario Party rules (using coins to buy stars) on a square board using compatible amiibo. All 3 modes are very fun, and there are various events that happen in each, which keeps things feeling new and exciting.The minigames are amazing, and most are a blast to play. The music is incredibly catchy as well! I love the song that plays when you come across Dragoneel in Whimsical Waters! There's also a Bonus Game called "Jewel Drop" that's an absolute blast to play! You have to connect four same-colored jewels in order to destroy them and get points, but as time goes on, the difficulty increases! It also has a multiplayer head-to-head mode, which is incredibly fun! The game also makes excellent use of the gamepad. If you put it next to the TV in Mario Party mode (or wherever else you wish to place it within view), you can see Bowser behind a cage, with the dice block numbers keeping him locked in. Whenever a number is rolled, the lock disappears and he's one step closer to being free. This information can only be viewed on the gamepad, and the only other way to know when he'll be free ahead of time is to memorize the numbers that haven't already been rolled (but most of us, surely, would prefer a visual display, which this game provides very well). He'll bash on the cage and roar at times while you're playing, his presence looming overhead as you continue the game. This is very fun and effective, and I really felt like he was trapped inside of the gamepad, outside of the game going on on the TV. Between this, Bowser minigames, and a particularly surprising captured Yellow Toad event on the Chaos Castle board (similar to the caged Bowser event referred to earlier), the gamepad is made excellent use of. In my opinion, it's the most unique and well done usage of the gamepad, in any game, to date. Negatives include the lack of an online multiplayer mode (I personally don't care all that much, but I do feel like it is behind the times a little having a largely multiplayer game that doesn't include it), and having to tap amiibo so frequently on the gamepad in Amiibo Party mode. A lot of people complain about the vehicles and the somewhat linear nature of the boards, but I personally enjoy them. It keeps everyone together, and part of the fun is strategizing on how to ensure that you get the mini-stars on the board, and not the other computers/players, as well as avoiding the mini-ztars (negative mini-stars). I've also heard that Bowser has far too great of an advantage in Bowser Party mode. I don't find this to be the case, as I nearly lost playing as him my first time playing the mode (and I'm a fairly decent video game player)! Another complaint I've heard is that not enough minigames occur on maps. While certainly less occur than in previous Mario Party games (Mario Party 1-8), I haven't found this to be that much of a problem at all. If no minigames occur for a certain amount of time (no one has landed on a vs space), the game has minigame blocks pop up on other spaces randomly after you land on them. You're also guaranteed two boss battle minigames per map. I've also heard that the game is incredibly luck-based. While luck does factor into the game, I would say that it's more about how you respond to that luck, and move forward. You have to strategize to either get ahead or to hold the lead, depending on who got lucky. I highly recommend this game! It's another excellent Mario Party game, and one that I plan to be playing for a very long time!… Expand

It needs an update that's true, to fix the load time during minigames, etc. and add at least new minigames and stuff to the store (including new characters and BOARDS!!!).… Expand

    Mario Party 10 is a fantastic game. The Bower games are fun and the Amiibo Support adds an interesting twits to it. By yourself, its not that fun. But with friends, its a blast! I had friends over the night it came out and we could not stop playing it! Its a great add on to your Wii U library!

    Not bad, but not the best.

    I enjoyed it, but found its predecessor better. I own this and Mario Party 9 and found the latter more fun. I would recommend buying this though, hence the 8, so get it if you can.

    While angry internet types trash every entry that isn't number 1&2 (mostly because they never played any others and just trash them for token ridiculous reasons), this game is genuinely a blast.

    The game continues to give you practice round opportunities, which gives players a better understanding of how to play.

    The Kart mode returns, Bowser and vs bowser adds a new twist, the amiibo mode brings it back to the original. Minigames have the arcade and wii remote style of previous entries. Gamepad is also used well with unique controls for Bowser. The Tournament, Bowser tournament and extra modes in the sub menu are also alot of fun.

    Definitely a must for the Wii U.    … Expand

    Probably the perfect party game for casuals. If you like being seriously competitive with a dash of laughs, go for Super Smash Bros or Mario Kart 8, if you want to just sit back and relax or do a drinking game with lighthearted friends, Mario Party 10 is where it's at.

    I don't see how sharing 1 car is a bad thing, it gives the game more depth and it's hilarious when you set people up for epic fail.

    Only gripe is the game doesn't have enough main boards in my opinion. Playing the same 6 boards may get old after a few parties. I don't like the idea of buying Amiibos for boards...That said, even if you have the same group of friends over every time, this game should last you a good 3 to 4 parties, given that I had only paid $30 for the game I think it's well worth it!    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I actually like this game.
    The Mario Party mode still has the cars again, but the boards and minigames are very fun.
    The Bowser Party mode is unbalanced towards both sides (Team Mario gets a lot of lives and moves while Team Bowser is overpowered in the minigames), but it's still a lot of fun imo.
    The Amiibo Party mode might just have squares for boards, which sounds disappointing, but I like the spaces, the gameplay of playing a minigame every round, and the special features of specific boards.

    This game is awesome! I really love the graphics, the soundtrack and the character roster! The only shame is the car mechanic, forgettable music (even if it sounds awesome), and the fact that you need the Wii remote instead of a Pro Controller without the Wii U GamePad. Still, this game is awesome!

I'll talk about each mode plus a few other things Mario Party 10 has to become a nifty game. So let's a go!

    Mario Party: Mario Party 9's (I will compare this game to 9 a lot.) Mario Party mode was fantastic. The party car was a great way to swap things up, the 1-2-3, 0-0-1, 1-10 and Slow dice blocks provide great strategizing and Mini Stars and Mini Ztars can be used with these dice to screw up your now ex-friends. I should also say 9's events and minigames were suprising and fun to play through. Mario Party 10 changes things up, which results in a gorgeous yet faintly lacking Mario Party mode. They added a lot of new dice so that the dice arrrrre *takes deep breathe* 1-6, 1-2-3, 0-0-1, 4-5-6, 1-10, Slow 1-6, Slow 1-2-3 and Slow 4-5-6. Wow. That's cool and stuff, but a number of the great events from 9 are taken away and replaced with 'Jump at the right time to avoid the lava bubbles' or 'Oh no, there's
    more Bowser Spaces! What I will say they improved though is the Bowser Spaces. Here, whenever you land on a Bowser Space, you tremble and drop your Wii U remote (Or Pro Controller if you're a true gamer) in fear, however in 9, Bowser would actually HELP you instead of being like 'Damn it! It's Bowser.'. But I digress. Speaking of Bowser...

    Bowser Party: Mario Party 10's advertising focused on Bowser Party more than ANYTHING else. Hell, I remember thinking this was a Bowser game or something. But now I see why. It's because Bowser Party is a great multiplayer mode. Here, the 1-2-3 dice blocks are just a way to fill up your inventory, and they appear A LOT. If you have no idea what I mean, think of Mario Kart 8's coins from the ? blocks. They suck, and when you could get a Blue Shell, Mario yells 'NO!' and screws you up. That's what the 1-2-3 dice blocks are. Also, to save myself from talking about the boards, I'll rank 'em here.
    1# Chaos Castle (Bowser Party)
    2# Mushroom Park
    3# Chaos Castle
    4# Whimsical Waters (Bowser Party)
    5# Haunted Trail
    6# Mushroom Park (Bowser Party)
    7# Whimsical Waters
    8# Airship Central

    amiibo Party: Alright, I'll just sum it up; amiibo Party sucks. This game would have been better than 9, if this damn mode didn't exist. All you do is slowly roll some dice over a board that's about 25 spaces long, and whenever the hell you want, you can randomly spam your amiibo to get huge advantages and claim about 7 spaces of the board, and you can roll like a 29 if you feel like it. It sucks and goes to show how Mario Party should not become a territorial game.

    Achievments, Minigames and other stuff: Yeah, Achivements are cool when they're not in Mario Party, and Minigames are good. Yeah.    … Expand
