Mario Party 8 (Wii)


Mario Party 8 (Wii)
Although they love their sequels as much as any company, Nintendo aren’t usually ones to go in for yearly updates. The Mario Party series, developed by Bomberman creators Hudson, is their only example of the phenomena. As such, the series was always guaranteed to make an early appearance on the Wii - and with good reason too since its mix of board game antics and multiplayer mini-games are perfectly suited to the motion control of the Wii remote. Whereas some of the previous sequels have seemed a little unnecessary, this one actually feels like a brand new game. There are six new boards and fourteen different playable characters from amongst the usual Mushroom Kingdom pantheon. There’s also a new power-up system replacing the “orbs” of previous games with “candy”. These allow characters to transform into different forms to avoid traps and nobble other players, ranging from an airplane, to a bowling ball and a vampire.

Of course what’s most anticipated about the game is the 70 plus different mini-games, as usual ordered into 1 vs. 3, 2 vs. 2 and free-for-all games. These involve such activities as using the Wii remote to ride a water ski, tightrope walking, lassoing barrels, paddling a rowing boat with a partner, shooting on a target range and being the first to give your pet Chomp a wash. The games and presentation may all seem very cute but as ever the game is an expert at tempting you to cheat and conspire against your fellow players at every opportunity, making this the one family board game you won’t mind having an argument over.

Customer Review: Long waits punctuated by great fun
When you’re playing one of the minigames, this is an awful lot of fun. There’s a very wide variety of games and all sorts of different ways to use the Wiimote are employed. Some games are everyone for himself, in others people are asked to gang up on a single player or play in two ad hoc teams.

Like many of the best Wii games, younger kids, older kids and adults can all compete on a fairly equal footing.

The but is a big one, though. Actually getting to the first minigame can take a good 15 minutes of setup and reading. And then the waits between games can be equally frustrating, particularly if you’re playing with a couple of computer opponents.

Customer Review: disappointed
i was really looking forward to getting this game but when i got it i was really disappointed. Its Brilliant for younger kids but not kids my age and im 12 and i did not enjoy playing it.

Customer Review: Great but ot quite brilliant.
Techinically speaking the stand is brilliant, and for the money you’re paying for it, you couldn’t really ask for more. The nunchuck holders were a brilliant idea as well as the LED lights to show how much the remotes had charged up. These turned from red to orange to green once the remotes were fully charged. I also liked the blue LED stripe around the stand, but this is where the stand becomes a slight let down. There’s only one switch at the back of the unit to control everything. So, you decide that you want to turn on this blue LED band… well, the only way to do that is by turning on the fan first and then fullying flipping the switch to enable the LED to light up. This wouldn’t be so much of a problem but the fan is really quite noisy and unless you turn the sound up on you TV really quite loud, you’ll have a constant whirring sound drowning out your game audio. Other than that, this stand was a pretty good buy. Hope this review helps.
Customer Review: A practical all in one station for the wii at last
Ive had this station for a couple of months now and find it superb for storing your wii motes and nunchucks,it also charges your wii motes and has a cooling fan.The reason I give it four stars only is: - It comes with 2 pairs of rechargeble batteries enclosed in a white shell,where the batteries cannot be replaced. - even though it is a practical solution for the Wii,Im not too impressed with the design,but this is my opinion. -The manufactures should have given the option to switch the blue light on or off as it continously stays on. -You will need to buy a pair of penlight batteries for the cooling fan. On the positive side this station will keep your Wii area tidy and charged no doubt.A tip for storing your nunchucks is to rap the nunchuck cord round your finger and then insert the cord curled up in the nunchuck slot first with the usb connection sticking out through the slot provided and the nunchuck will sit in position easily.
