Description of Mario Party 4
Mario Party 4 Toad, Koopa and other party-planning pranksters have hidden birthday presents for their closest friends inside the Party Cube. To win the presents, Mario, Yoshi, Peach and other favorites will have to plunge into a circus of mini-game trickery. The action zooms across crazily interactive game boards, each stocked with item shops, mystery spaces and shortcuts like roller- coaster rides. Mario Party 4 boasts 50 amazingly clever all-new mini-games. Escape icky stuff in Slime Time. Bring home a big one in Rumble Fishing. Team up for explosive action in Hide and Go BOOM! Play hard, collect coins and stars and you re well on your way to collecting birthday presents and unlocking hidden surprises. Much more than a simple board game, Mario Party 4 bristles with great innovations. The cool Mini-Mega system allows players to grow larger or smaller. Depending on your size, youll be able to access exclusive areas or trigger special events. In the Tag Battle Mode, you can team up with another player and compete in a team-versus-team struggle for the most stars. Mario and Wario, working together? Whod have thunk it! As always, keep an eye out for Bowser and his trouble-making goons. Whatever it is they are up to, it ca not be good. Even Whomp and Thwomp have rockin surprises for you in their Extra Room! Packed with great surprises, great multiplayer action and zany challenges, Mario Party 4 is your ticket to a sure-fire good time.It's a pretty bold claim but for many, Mario Party is the best multiplayer game series ever. No need for guns or complicated role-playing elements here--Mario Party is fun because it's simple. The original N64 game created an entirely new subgenre--an unlikely combination of traditional board games and lots of ultrasimple arcade titles. The idea is that you travel around the board trying to collect stars, which must be paid for with coins, and you get coins by competing in minigames, which occur at the end of every round. These minigames generally don't last longer than a minute or two, and many are based on old Game & Watch titles. There are over 50 minigames in Mario Party 4, and each involves either a free-for-all, two players against two, or one against three (depending where you land on the board at the end of your turn). These can involve anything from skydiving to basketball dunking, or car racing to hide-and-seek, to name a few.
Admittedly, this basic description of the gameplay might not sound too exciting, and indeed if you're playing with less than three human opponents it can be pretty tedious. But play it with the full complement of non-virtual rivals and the game's infinite capacity for cheating, backstabbing, and ganging up allows it to completely transcend the humdrum sum of its parts. There's nothing terribly new in this third sequel except that the graphics are much improved and the minigames are all new, but that really misses the point: get this game out at Christmas instead of Trivial Pursuit and you'll wonder how you ever got through the holiday without it. --David Jenkins, Amazon.co.uk
