Mario Party 5 review:
They did manage to get to part 5 without things feeling stale — but it'll be a stretch unless they do something much different next time around. A single-player mode that can sell the game and online play is the next logical step. And my idea, Mario Party: Double Bash would rock!
Mario Party 5 review:
The strongest of the three though is Beach Volleyball, which amusingly offers about the same level of control as Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball with pass/spike and jump buttons, and is played from above and to the side. It's basic, naturally, but well worth dabbling in, and the addition of an exploding or dice based ball to nobble the outcome of rallies makes a bit of a difference too.
Mario Party 5 review:
Hudson and Nintendo are merely tweaking an already-finished game, refusing to address the series’ larger flaws or considerably improve its engine. If Mario Party is the only project which Hudson and Nintendo can successfully collaborate on, perhaps they shouldn’t collaborate anymore. Discuss it in Talkback!
Mario Party 5 review:
The first games, yea for a party they were fun, but as the gamers got older, they realized just how stupid the game's design and play really was. Avoid this game at all costs! Don't buy it, don't rent it, you were lucky you read this review before going out and getting this game, because the game is probably worse than most you will play.
