    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!

    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.

    Nintendo's latest entry to their perfect series that has set the standards for the party genre even farther. Let me break down the Mario Party series for you.

This game is filled with so many different boards. I'm still unlocking tons after 63 hours. I have 15 and there's 5 more silhouettes. How they jam packed this game with these many boards? I just don't know. Each minigame has a even harder version of itself adding replay value up the freakin ROOF!

    You MUST get this game. And if you don't have a Wii U then why? Why!? Wii U has consistently brought us the most amazing games of all time and this will be remembered as fondly as classics such as Super Mario Brothers and The Legend of Zelda as THE innovator of the party genre.    … Expand

    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

    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.

    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

    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

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

    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.

    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").

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.
