Unlocking mini games was also monotonous in that you had to get them to appear in a board before purchasing them to actually freely play them, not to mention that a great deal of these mini games were copypasted from the predecessor adding to all of that you need to buy all of the mini games to play the Mini Game Coaster mode (why?). Outside of Horror Land (and in some cases, Bowser Land), much of the boards were "whatever" to me, Mystery Land being a pure example of a bad Mario Party board (having ? Spaces as the only means of traversal on a board is a big fat gigantic Godzilla-sized no-no). The costumes were a neat idea and I do hope that feature returns (this time, optional), but outside of that, Mario Party 2 was kind of."okay". Hopefully one of these days, I'll play it (and 7 and enough of 8).Īlso, agreed to your other post. Fri 21st Oct Yeah, I'm aware of the heys for 6.I'm not much of a fan of the vehicular-based board gameplay, but I still greatly enjoyed 9 and 10 for their mini games.Įdit: I never played 6 or 7, plus I haven't played enough of 8 to have an opinion on. Literally the only thing that's keeping SMP lit up is its character roster, but even that isn't enough to make SMP better than "okay at best". Super Mario Party was a needed return to the classic formula, but not without its plethora of flaws that ranged from its broken ally system to ungodly slower-paced boards, and from bland boards and mini games to shortage of content overall and disappointing modes (save for River Survival, which is literally the only mode I liked). Island Tour had neat ideas, but it was a disaster left and right, with its boards being some of the most poorly-designed outright. You enjoy what YOU want to enjoy, and no list should tell you otherwise! I wouldn't put too much weight on these kinds of lists anyway. If you suck at minigames, then you may not get very far.Īnd while there's not a crazy amount to do in the game, the core gameplay in this game is way too solid and actually fun to more than make up for that.īesides, I'm sure a lot of people, me included, gave it an ''at the time'' score, but even then if scored in present day standards, it's really not THAT much 'worse' than other games.įor me, Mario Party 2 was and still is the best Mario Party game of them all.īut that's the beauty of opinions, isn't it? I love Mario Party 2, while yours would be an entirely different entry, and we can both just enjoy the game we both enjoy the most while respecting each other's opinion. Besides, it's not like MP2 throws strategies or skill out the window entirely. There's no reason board games can't rely on RNG plenty of actual tabletop games have random elements thrown into them, Mario Party 2 is no different. We've excluded the Japan-only arcade games and that rather odd GBA e-Reader title from the rankings - mostly because we're old and we can't afford to go to Japan to seek these gems out, or because the e-Reader is a fickle beast and never showed its face on European shores. We asked you to rank every single Mario Party game that you've played, and below, you'll be able to find out which one is the prime party candidate, and what should be left in their gift wrap and returned. No, we don't want any bickering - it's our (your) job to give the stars out, not win them this time around. There have been 17 main Mario Party games since the series debuted in 1998, and with that many titles out there, how on earth do you choose which Party to pack to your next school (or family) reunion? Well, we're counting on you lovely lot for that. But, of all of them, Mario Party may have spawned a few too many arguments that have spawned an amusing life-long legacy of familial rivalries and blistered hands. If you had a Nintendo 64, there's no doubt you managed to wrangle your family (or friends) in for a few games of a few multiplayer games featuring the Italian plumber at Christmas.
