Mario Party 8 is a traditional MP game in the sense that nothing has really changed. Sure, there’s motion controls, but they’re not utilized nearly enough, as probably half of the games use the sideways ‘classic’ style controls for minigames instead. No widescreen support really hurts those with HD, but the game itself is very crisp looking. A wide variety of interesting new boards can’t save the game from its repetition of old minigames, but there is a ton to unlock, it’s just too bad that there’s no incentive to unlock the horde of useless items. The two new characters are worth playing the sloppy single player for, but of course multiplayer is where this game shines. Minigame/party games are abundant on the Wii, and there are better one’s out there but there’s no reason for Mario Party fans not to pick up and play this one with their buds.
