It’s hard to believe that Mario Party is now up to its eighth installment, but it’s true. The folks at IGN believe that it could have been far better.
Hudson and Nintendo really need to rethink the Mario Party formula, but will they? Not as long as these games keep selling, no. Discerning players will find this latest effort still has its moments, but also that they are fewer and farther between.
If you can’t garner just how bad the game is from that blurb, perhaps the 5.2/10 score will.
