We have Mario Party, it was the first game I bought. We used to have it for our nintendo and spent HOURS playing it.
With the Wii we probably play Mario Party as much as Mario Kart. OC you can have up to four players, each player is a different character and you pick which "track" you want to play, the objective is to collect the most stars. The best way to describe is "kind of like a boardgame"... you take turns hitting the die, move that many spaces and there are good spaces where good things happen and bad spaces where not such good things happen (dk takes a star for instance)... at the end of the round everyone plays a "mini-game" together, sometimes it's in teams, or a battle or everyone against everyone else. At the end of the game they give out the "bonus stars"... who moved the most spaces, ate the most candy, landed on the most red squares, etc. These stars are added to your existing stars and whoever has the most is the winner. A small hint: When you start, you pick how many rounds to play.. 15 takes a good hour and half or so... our first time we chose 30 and OMG.. I didn't think it would ever end.. lol
It really is a lot of fun but I would get it for the Wii rather than the DS.

We too choose only 15 turns. We do dinner and the game and so my house is full for 3 hours, no problem.

I simply LOVE Mario Party 8! It came with my Wii, I've played it all the way thru like 2 times and played w/ my friend millions of times. I think it is still my favorite game! I've only had the wii since Christmas. I want a wii fit but i decided i would wait on it. I hear great things about the my fitness coach "game" for the wii though. PPL even say they like it more than the fit! I am interested in hearing what games other ppl like for their wii!

We got "are you smarter than a 5th grader" not too long ago and it's a crack up... I like the flashcards play better than the regular play simply because it's faster paced but either way it's fun.

Thanks for the info Connie, I think I'll get it. Maybe the Easter bunny will put it in his basket...IF I can wait that long. LOL I was in Game Stop today and was looking at the box. It was Mario Party 8. Does that mean they've had 7 others? More than one for Wii? I agree, I will get it for the Wii & not the DS so everyone can play. I am interested in hearing what games other ppl like for their wii! We got ours for Christmas too. To be honest, the newness wore off and I haven't played Wii in quite some time. Hoping a new game would spark back interest. We have Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga & Lego Batman. Those are fun games! I played 'em all the time till I beat them. Thinking about getting Lego Indiana Jones, but not sure. Super Smash Bros. Brawl isn't too bad, but not the greatest. It's a one on one fighting game with a bunch of Nintendo's characters. There's A LOT going on during a fight which makes it a bit confusing. Some of the scenes are in motion so you not only have to concentrate on your opponent, but also staying with the scene. I like to fish and we have Rapala's Fishing Frenzy. I think it's a fun game. We only have 10 games and most of 'em just sit there. I'll gain interest again sometime and start playing.
