    O jogo é otimo, musica otima, e seus minigames são bem divertidos e variados, o problema é que reusou a mecanica de seu antecessor, Mario Party 9, alem de não ter um modo historia, ao contrario da maioria dos antigos, mas é um Bom jogo! E serio, como o Bowser Party é bem feito, minigames funcionam perfeitamente! E Otimo!

    Middling game that doesn't bring enough to the table to warrant it's price tag.

It's like the development team just slept walk from start to finish, there's no passion or inventiveness to the shallow, boring and linear stage designs.
    Mini games are fun but are nowhere near enough to save the game.

    Pass on this game unless you can get it for 30 dollars or less, there's much better Mario party games out there that you can easily get for cheaper.    … Expand

    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.

    --The mini games themselves are good, but the board and its mechanics are where the problems with this game lie.

    Eerr.. it's alright but it's best for a weekend rental. The minigames are limited , and it doesn't have the same charm that Mario Party 9 has. Bowser Party is overpowered and bowser is almost always guaranteed to win.

There are also less modes overall compared to previous installments, with one of them being locked behind amiibo.

    To me, this is Mario Party 9, but with a Bowser mode. I greatly enjoyed 9, so I greatly enjoy 10. I wish it had a little more meat to it's bones though.

    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 is a fun game but with a bunch of issues. Like seriously who thought it was a good idea to add a mode to the game which is only playable with amiibos, and the thing it’s the best mode. If you don’t own any Mario amiibos good luck pal gotta spend 15$ to play a mode in the base game.

That’s **** dumb as hell. Even the roster is bland, at least bowser party is like the best thing about the game playing as bowser Awesome and it’s fair to.

    Just Mario Party 9 but even worse. You unlock basically everything after a single game and everyone travels together which is pretty boring. Theres also a mode that requires you to have an amiibo if you dont want to all be in a car and the board is a boring square.

    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!

    Similar problem with Mario Party 9, but this time, the minigames are part of the problem. The problem was that it lacked randomization. In other words, about 70% of the time I replay a map, I end up getting same exact minigame. And once again, the cart driving concept returns. The Bowser Party mode, however was an alright inclusion, but it still lacked competition either way.

    It‘s Mario Party. With friends it makes fun. But compared to the older ones, it is bad. The car mechanics should have been a side gameelement. The main should have been the original Mario Party elements. Then this game would have been very good.

    Well not completely awful, it isn't all that great either. The vehicle in the main game is the real downside. It's annoying and gets in the way. It detracts from the experience of typical Mario Party. I like the tournament mode, but that's my favorite mode. This game is just okay.

    This is the worst Mario party game. They brought back the stupid car from Mario party 9 and made even worse boards. They are all based around luck and getting to the end as fast as possible. The mini games aren’t very memorable either

    Just like Mario Party 9, except it’s even worse here because they brought back the car after all the backlash it got, while they should’ve reverted to the old style.

There are only five boards in this game which is less than any of the previous main Mario Parties, and while they are okay, none of them are very memorable. The character roster is mediocre, while it was awesome seeing DK playable again and Spike was an interesting choice, many fan favourites are missing. I did enjoy a handful of the minigames, but at this point it’s an inevitability. There are a couple of different main modes this time around besides the traditional Mario Party. We have Bowser Party, which is only fun if you’re playing as Bowser and it’s very lopsided as he has way more dice and an advantage in his minigames. Then we have amiibo party which is kinda similar to the classic games, except you have to have an amiibo to play it and the boards are really square... literally. This game is extremely mediocre and if it wasn’t for the minigames, I would probably give it a negative rating.… Expand

    Mario Party 10 I didn't like it, my problem: Bowser's minigames for example: Bowser's square can't be moved and players, fire is very easy to dodge, electric ones are easy and boring, Extra: they are short, all the coins, tennis and facing against Bowser Jr. are boring and Minigames and the table and that doesn't make SENSE. I don't like it in this game.

    I don't get it, they changed the formula. We had a great formula in the past Mario party games and they threw it out of the window in Mario party 10. The majority of the mini games are fun, but overall, this game is just boring. Mediocre, but I wouldn't say it's bad. The graphics are decent though. The Bowser mode is broken.

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

    Nintendo decided to double down on this shocking twist to the Mario party formula and most people agree this is one of the worst Mario party games. Not only gameplay wise does it not seem to make a lot of sense, it also ruined the story. Truly one of the darkest ages for the franchise.
