    This game is rigged... and I love it! Out of that, i think it's a pretty decent Mario Party game and that actually the title for the worst game in the saga goes to Mario Party Advance, not this one...

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

    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!

    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.
    I like this game a lot. While I don't love it as much as Mario Party 5-7, I still have fun.    … Expand

    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

    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

    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.

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

    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

    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.
