I am most definately getting this game. I think my hun would play it with me. She doesn't like FPS, although, she did whoop me at Madden 6 times outta 10 so I refused to play with her and she doesn't even understand the game :eek:

Even though people have given mixed reviews....I will still get it.

I am definately getting it. We rented it to see how it was and my daughter just loves it. She and I just laughed and laughed when we would be booted back to the beginning of the board and have to start all over and other silly stuff. We have always been fans of all the Mario Parties and can't wait to get our hands on this latest one. Just need to get the funds up for it. Party on!!

Well, Ive played this now and its not as bad as I was expecting it to be after seeing reviews (bad reviews). I played it with someone else so it was great fun, I think playing single player would be pretty tedious. One complaint I do have is that the controls for some of the mini games are rubbish, as if you really arent controlling the character at all. Still a recommended game to try though.

Holy moly thats a lot

I pre-ordered it last week..........and got it the day before it was out

Was fun but, like QueenB said, some of the controls were off, very off in fact.
But fun none the less.
Havent tried single player mode yet, but, i will later
I do prefer Sonic and the Secret rings multiplayer though over this.
