    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.

    This game is not terrible, what makes me rate it so low is how good it's prequals were. Marioparty 8 is far better, but I guess that's what Nintendo gets for giving the IP to NDCube.

    It's a Mario Party game. Not much else to say, except that the car mechanic is made up for with the Bowser mode.

    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.

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.

    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.

    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.
    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.

    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.

    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.

    As an experience with friends, your wife, your girlfriend, your husband, or your boyfriend, it's a blast!

    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.

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.

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.

    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.

    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.

It is a game in that you interact with it, and things happen, and someone "wins" but the hows and whys of that interaction are entirely random. The vast majority of mini games are luck based, though that is irrelevant. Winning the entirety of the game comes down, purely, to luck.

During this time players will take turns as the cart driver and collect mini stars. The player with the most mini starts at the end wins the game.
    The game plays similarly to Mario Party 9. where all characters are together as they move across the board instead of separate and on their own. This add simplicity to the game but takes out a lot of fun, skill and competition. Instead of collecting coins, and battling it out in mini games every 4 turns players hope around aimlessly on a path collecting mini stars and other things that chance lets them fall on. In a whole game you might play as little as 4 mini games. And the winner usually turns out to be who ever was lucky enough to get the mini stars rather then who was skilled enough to win or smart enough to generate a winning strategy. This "all together" board movement and lack of actual play (aside from hitting a dice block) makes this game get REALLY boring REALLY fast. Every time you play a level, it goes basically exactly the same as the last time. There is little to enjoy, little to change, and little to come back and play for next time.
    A few of the good things is that the game has a side game called "badminton" that is pretty fun and the mini games are fairly fun, even though you almost never play them during the actual play of a "party" game.
    The game sticks with the standard Mario style of graphics and does look good on the screen. There isn't any eye popping amazing visuals but it then again this is a standard Mario Party game, and what you get is exactly what you expect which is what makes this perfect.
    If you are buying this game for your small children the enjoy then they might like it, if you are like me and a life long Mario fan, looking for a new Mario Party game that will be fun, competitive and long lasting then DO NOT buy this game. Go plug in a N64, Game Cube or Wii and play any of them from Mario Party 1 - 8.
    Lets all hope that if they do come in the future with a Mario Party 11, they return to the individual, continual board, turn based length, mini game after every turn style of game that it used to be.

Sure, kids may enjoy it, but this game really stops the party. If you want to play Mario Party, you'd be better off playing 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 or 8 rather than play the lackluster newer versions.

Some are awful. The Toad House is okay but the Fun Bazzar and Museum are a little better. The sound effects are awesome some are even from Mario Party 9 and Island Tour. Mario Party 10 is a great game and I recommend you go pick it up and if you dislike or hate Mario Party 10, etc. you are silly as Justin Wanker Bieber. I give this game a 9/10. One of the best Wii U games ever. The best minigames were the shooting ones, bowser minigames,etc. so yeah, very good game and suggest you go pick it up. P.S. If you disliked my last review, you can burn in a fire. I hate the people that hate MP10 so dislike this review, you are automatically J Bieber's crappy belieber fan. Fall for my trap!!!!! xD I hate the people that hate mp10. Oh well, have it your way, and it is not my problem either. Expand

    I hadn't played a Mario Party since 7 and to be honest, I wished it would have been more like Mario Party 1-3. If I try to compare the game to it's past iterations, it doesn't really match up especially with nostalgia creating all sorts of bias. At the end of the day, all that matters in this type of game is if it is fun. I'm having fun.

I was laughing loud as I watch others lose their stars and I almost threw my controller when some last minute bad luck cost me the game. This isn't the Mario Party of the past but it is still a good game. Bowser mode is awesome and has a lot of potential. I wish party mode was turned based and not linear but I did enjoy the small level of strategy the game has now. Some of the mini-games have already become my all time favorites. I enjoyed this game a lot already and I know there are many more hours of enjoyment to come. But as a warning, this is a game that shines brightest with local multiplayer because it is meant for local multiplayer. Expand

    Quite shocked at this newest instalment, claims to be 30 minutes took under 10 and the bowser mode is terrible. What happened to mini-games? Takes at least 3 rounds to start one and they're abysmal to say the least. Will be getting my money back on such a shoddy attempt of a product.

    Such a major let down to the Mario Party series.

    If you like Mario Party, then you'll like this one. Don't know why people are so high on the old Mario Party's. I had them as a kid and while they're great, it's not like they're way better than this one. I remember before Mario Party 9 people were giving Mario Party low scores because each release was too similar. Then with Mario Party 9, then tried to change it and people hated it.If you like Mario Party, then you'll like this one. Don't know why people are so high on the old Mario Party's.

I'm not saying the whole car movement is much better, in fact it's not as fun as the original concept, but still it doesn't ruin the game. Overall, it's worth the money to finally play Mario Party in HD. 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]
