Mario Party 7 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The past few years have really shown that Nintendo has come a real long way with their highly acclaimed video game series for the Gamecube. Yet out of all of them, none of them has ever been as interactive as the Mario Party franchise. Since its debut for the Nintendo 64 back in 1998, it has arguably been a well-recognized institution that has still gotten better with age. The last one, Mario Party 6 was arguably one of the best editions ever, with the interactive voice recognition of the microphone to the mix. Now, the question that is asked is that could Nintendo develop a better Mario Party than before? Here is the answer.

Mario Party 7 for the Nintendo Gamecube, really shows a whole lot of growth from the previous Mario Party games, by placing Mario and company into a imaginative around the world cruise, where each of the games are parodies of exotic locations like Windmillville for Holland, and the Grand Canal is to Venice, Italy. The game also highlights over 80 different mini-games like Take Me Ohm and Bubble Brawl and Tunnel Of Lava, and some of them by using as many as eight different players to the test. The game also has even more unlockables including 2 characters, Birdo and the return of Dry Bones who had a comeback with Mario Superstar Baseball recently, and unique games as well. Mario Party 7 also does do a whole lot more by placing nearly a dozen more games with the microphone to the test with memory and racing games to, as well which comes with the game, which people who've bought the previous Mario Party 6 know isn't a must but for those who didn't get it is.

Yet, with all the improvements, there is one disadvantage to the test, and that is the solo mode. Unlike Mario Party 6 where the solo mode you could play all the different various games,you only have a limited number of games you can play with like the duel mini-games, the Bowser and Donkey Kong games, and the mic-games, which is unfortunate. Also, you have to tackle certain number of challenges which can be confusing to conquer and takes awhile, but it is worth the effort to play.

All in all, Mario Party 7 is a premire title, and is really a must have for anybody who owns a Gamecube. Although this might be the last Mario Party for this system, considering Nintendo's interest in their upcoming revolution system, it truly is worth the effort of this dice.
