5.2 - so it's crap then, figures the last ones have been just as shitty

 

[tjas]

Ignore this whole game! Not worth the attention

Oh my, what a review from IGN !

Such a rate ! 5.2.. Shame on Nintendo/Hudson...

Still not on the front page?

Sorry if this is rude, but it looks like coming here and glancing at the front page to see what the newest releases are is feeling kind of pointless.

One of these things is not like the other...

You guys are retarded. I played a 15 round game with the girlfriend yesterday and I was very impressed with the game. Fun mini games with good controls. A board movement system that, while not perfect, was much more streamlined than previous Mario Parties so that you spend more time actually playing the mini games.

I did notice a framerate dip when characters ate the "Duel Candy" and were surrounded by a flame effect. It surprised me a little bit, but it certainly wasn't a deal-breaker.

Why does everyone only read a review and not even just try a game. I have found many 9/10 games from review boring and games which got 5/10 more fun. Its all down to personal preference. IGN over the years have more and more questionable reviews. Just try it, decide yourself if its good or bad!

I got it working when I burned at 6x. Waste of time though. What a horrible game. I'll keep playing 7.

Someone told me he heard that the game doesn't work on PAL machines. Is that true? Anyone with a PAL machine tried it yet?

edit: sorry never mind. Saw the posts on the previous page, guess i'll have to wait for the PAL release.

Kind of a disappointing, but still fun with multiple people.

Why don't they offer tons of boards and let you skip all the dialogue crap.

I choose to take offence at being called retarded.

Did you even bother to check the locations of all the people posting their disappointment at the 5.2 score??
Yes genius they are from PAL regions, how do you expect us to play the game? All we have to go off till the game is released here is the opinion of others inluding gaming sites.

The bad points listed in the IGN review seem like pretty reasonable things to significantly mark a game down on.
Average graphics, non-responsive controls, non-improved gameplay, sounds pretty average to me.
Doesn't mean that the game can't be fun for a game or two with a bunch of friends, just means that overall this game isn't of a high quality.
