Mario Party 6 - Gamespot review

I'm loving MP6. I love the Orb system in this game, and how you're rewarded for making the board as littered with traps as possible - keeps the game fresh every time!

The mic is a cute little gimmick. The game show is a lot of fucking fun, especially with people too drunk to work a controller properly. "Baaaaaaaaarrrllll!" "Did you say "PEACH"? Say yes or no".

Yeah I like the orbs... till trying to work them all out, but I got the hang of most of them.

I like how you get them at random for free like in Mario Party 5, but can also buy them from item shops like in 4.
 
I have played two games of MP6 and had a blast, the board play is a lot faster than 4 and five which is one of the things that I hated about those two, thank god I don't have to listen to a babbling fucking gumball machine everytime I pick up a capsule. wellplayed hudson.

Oh and the bay level with the bowser/DK ships has bomb ass level strategy and plays great as a team game.

The game show was a nice diversion but it takes to long between turns
 
Sounds great. The boards were a pain in MP4. In MP5 i loved playing on them. What are the battle boards like in the mini game mode? They're great for quick play.
 
Got it for Xmas as well.

They improved a lot of things in this game. The board movement is fast and smooth, getting orbs is quick, the mini-games are pretty good, and its nice to see that some boards have different objectives rather than "Find Star in Position X."

But it looks like you have to play the crap out of this game to get everything in the Star Bank.
 
The only thing I don't like is that in a team game you have a shared coin bank with your team mate. In MP4 there was more pressure to do well in minigames as they would have to make sure they have the coins for a star.
