I thought this game wouldn't be very good but got it anyway, and it is great!
The minigames are half stylus-based and half contol-based, alot of diversity!
The only thing it is quite easy but you can change the settings to hard if you want so thats good!

Good fun, haven't tried with 2player yet but i'm sure its great!
Better than mario party 8 on wii by a mile!

=)

I played this on the Wii so thought i'd try it out and the DS and wasn't disappointed. You play on a board, rolling a dice each turn. After all the players have a turn you then get a minigame to play for extra coins. The winner at the end is the player with the most stars, which you buy when you pass them on the board. It is very addictive as to unlock everything you need to complete the story with all the characters (8) and also complete the mini games and there are 5 of them not including a free play mode as well. A good combo of games using the stylus, mic and normal controls. Some are really easy but some can be challanging. If anyone thinks the games are easy, try putting the comp difficulty to the hardest setting and trust me you will be tested. It is a must buy for anyones game collection

I like the story mode of this game but the only problem is that it is quite short. But I think the mini games are really cool and there is a lot of them. I like the way you get to play the mini games while your going around on the board, When you land on a certain space. This is a really good game and is worth getting.

Brillant game, my 8 year old loves it and i have to admit i cant put it down either

I love this game,its my 6year olds and i play it more than him.
I love earning new things its great

The mini-games are fun and quirky. Time can pass really quickly when playing and there's loads of items to collect with your points, such as mini trophies, badges etc... However the main story can become a bit tedious when having to repeat the level again and again, if luck hasn't been on your side.
I would still recommend the game to people who are looking for some light entertainment.

I absolutely love this game!! I play multilayer with my friends all the time and we have a total blast! It's still good on story mode but even better on multiplayer. You can play as all the mario characters in lots of scenes and it's hilarious trying to get to the stars and complete the minigames before you opponents do. Brilliant Game You Have To Buy It Now!!

I found this game easy and almost completed the game in 2 evenings. I think it is better suited for younger kids. I enjoyed the mini games but the main game took form of a board game and was a little boring.

found this game sorta irritating. i couldnt get past the first part of the story coz its more chance than skill. after 3 attempts and not winning - i traded it in. it doesnt compare to the 64 or gamecube versions

I love this game! i play it with loads of people just doing little mini games which is really fun! Lots of things to play with other people who dont have Mario Party, but i do recommend this 4 and 3/4! Just because there is some i do not get, but apart from that, AMAZING!
