Mario Party 8, or the first game in the series to be created
for the Nintendo Wii, is a highly unique game when compared with the other
games in the Mario Party series. While
it’s not my favorite game in the entire series, I do still enjoy playing the
game with friends, and it is a great game for those who want to play a more
relaxing game with people that isn’t too challenging.
Mario Party 8 is a more interactive game than others in the
series because it is a game for the Wii.
By this I mean that it utilizes the Wii remote and the interactiveness
that it provides in order to create a different gaming experience. In order to roll the dice blocks, players
physically bump the controller upwards.
In some mini games, players ‘hit’ baseballs with the controllers, in
others, they shake the controllers to accomplish various tasks. Overall, this game is a much more interactive
experience than previous platform Mario Party games, which only had the ability
to have button games.
This interactive aspect of the game is not the reason it’s
not my favorite game though. Overall, I
just prefer the overall setup, minigames, and boards of Mario Party 6 when
compared to the other Mario Party games.
Not that I don’t love the other games, it’s just that the 6th
game has a special place in my heart.
If you’re looking for the better of the Wii Mario Party
games (8 or 9), definitely go with 8.
Mario Party 9 is just not my style – it’s just very very different from
what I want in a Mario Party game, and it strays too much from the traditional
type of game to be a ‘real’ Mario Party game.
Play it, and you’ll see what I mean.
