Mario Party DS

You’d think years of defeat would get to a guy, but Bowser just doesn’t give up! He’s captured Mario and his friends in his pursuit of a crystal that the group collected when it fell from the sky, and he doesn’t hesitate to shrink them to miniature size to get rid of them and get his hands on the other four crystals. The mini-heroes have to find the crystals before he does, making their way through giant environments filled with enormous creatures. The single-player campaign takes place in five different settings, each of them ending with a boss. As usual, players have to collect coins and stars, at the same time escaping dangers such as Piranha Plants and other classic creatures from the Mario universe. As they progress through the game, players also can unlock various mini-games, such as Rail Riders, Sweet Sleuth and Goomba Wrangler! When players are tired of exploring the story mode, they can choose one of the other modes, like Puzzle and Minigame. Play with up to four friends on the DS’ local Wi-Fi and let the party begin!

3 Stars Better on the Wii
This is a super fun game with lots to do the only drawback is that, Mario Party is much more fun with more than 2 people playing. There are only a few different boards to play on and its quite simple to play but it isn’t the same fun. Nonetheless its a great play if you don’t have a wii.

5 Stars Love it!
I am fairly new to video games in general. The DS is the first game system I’ve ever owned (for about 2 months now), and this is my first review. Other games I have/enjoy are The New Super Mario Bros., Animal Crossing, Professor Layton, Mario Kart, Brain Age, and so on.

I really love this game! I feel like it gives an even mix of button/stylus use, which I really like. It’s impossible to get bored, because there are so many options of what to do, not only while on the menu (story mode, multiplayer mode, etc.), but also within the game. The minigames vary in nature and technique, keeping me interested. Also, tying in fun of regular board games is a great plus.

I play it mostly on single player mode, as my boyfriend is always busy with his new wii, but I found that multi-player mode is really great as well.

I know there are reviews on here that are more detailed and from more video game knowledgeable people than me, but I hope that this review is helpful to someone, perhaps someone as unfamiliar with v-games as I was. In short, let me put it this way – Mario Party DS is the first video game I have liked so much that I felt compelled to write a review and spread the word! Go get it and enjoy it!

3 Stars OKay alone better with friends.
If you’ve played other Mario Party games this is very similar. Just like those other Mario Party games this one is best with people to play it with. I simply played the single player to unlock the extra board so it could be played multiplayer. But if you have even one other person with a DS and you both like Mario Party, I’d say go for it, it’s fun.

5 Stars Granddaughter loves it!
The seller was very prompt in sending this game that I bought on Amazon and my granddaughters love playing it on their DS.

1 Star Mario Party ds – Worst Mario game ever made!
Hello I’m an autistic adult gamer.

This is my review on Mario Party ds.

I rented this game from my local library for free for 3 week’s. The storyline was cute but when it came to actual gameplay I couldn’t figure it out. Glad I rented this game & didn’t waste no money on it.

Do your self a favor save your money don’t waste your cash on this game.
