Customer Reviews of Mario Party 2

Great for parties!
If you sold your N64, you made an unfortunate mistake. Not only did this system have two games that were arguably two of the greatest, it also had a great multiplayer series called Mario Party. Thankfully, it is continuing on the Gamecube. Each one has a strength, and in the second one, it's the minigames. There are updates on 20 classics, like Bumper Balls, Shy Guy Says, and Desert Dash, along with 40 all- new ones, like Shell Shocked, Archer Rival, and- my favorite new one- Honey Comb Havoc. You have 6 players (Mario, Luigi, Peach, Wario, Donkey Kong, and Yoshi), 6 boards (Pirate Land, Western Land, Mystery Land, Space Land, Horror Land, and Bowser Land), each with a duel and item minigame that suits them, and plenty-o-fun. If you're looking for a series of 4 player bashes, then look for these four games.

Good Game, but it's not quite like the first one.
Mario Party is, and still is, in my opinion, one of the best games on the Nintendo 64. It's fun, fast, exciting, and it has good music. (This may seem trivial, but it will become quite important.) When I learned about Mario Party 2, I was obviously excited. The mini-games all seemed cool and the new board games seem fun.

Well, January comes, and I get it on the first day. Overall, this game is very good. The concept hasn't changed from the first one 11 months earlier. Whoever has played either Mario Party or Mario Party 2 should know this already, whoever hasn't, I'll explain it.

The Mario Party series is basically an electronic board game. First, you break open a box Mario style to determine turn order. This game is separated into 20, 35, or 50 turns. Each turn is made up of when one person "rolls the dice" by breaking open a box. A number appears and the person goes that many spaces. You can land on many spaces. A blue space gives you 3 coins (6 in last 5 turns) and a red space takes away 3 coins (6 in last 5 turns). You can also land on a Bowser space, where Bowser comes and causes havoc, a chance game, or a question mark space, where a specific even occurs depending on which board you're playing on. After all 4 players go, a mini-games starts. It can be either 4 players, 3 vs 1, or 2 vs 2.

The boards in Mario Party 2 is actually quite fun, and most minigames are nice. Some, like Torpedo Targets, Honeycomb Havoc, Skateboard Scamper, Abandon Ship, A Day at the Races, and the duel games, are annoying.

Then why 4 stars? Many reasons. The mini-game coaster is frustratingly frustrating on the hard setting. It took me hours to pass it. And the music. Oh, the music. The music, as I said, is one of the best parts in Mario Party. The music in Mario Party 2 is different, and not for the better. Some of the tempos gets on my nerves and it's just, well, not Mario.

But overall this is a good game.

PAAARRRRTTTAAAYYY!!!!!!!!!!!
This game is awesome! With some minigames its a pick-up-and-play deal, and with other minigames it takes some time to master. The game boards are very interactive. There isn't much to say about this game, it just naturally rocks.
