Product Description
The Mario Party games popularized the trend of board game bonanzas with an assortment of varied activities. Each shindig was like having dozens of games in one, and Mario Party 4 is the wildest multiplayer get-together Nintendo has ever thrown. Mario, Luigi, Yoshi and an all-star cast of Mushroom Kingdom regulars have been invited, and there's never a dull moment as one to four players compete in 50 all-new miniga
Amazon.com Review
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

MARIO PARTY 4 IS A GREAT GAME. I HAVE 4-8. MARIO PARTY 4 IS PROBLEY MY
LEAST FAVORITE MARIO PARTY GAME. I LOVE ALL THE MINIGAMES. THE ONLY PROBLEM IS THAT I DO NOT LIKE THE COURESES WHICH IS THE PLACE WHERE YOU
HAVE A DI AND HIT IT TO SEE HOW MUCH SPACES YOU MOVE. IF YOU ARE A GREAT
MARIO PARTY FAN YOU SHOULD GET THIS.
The First Mario Party Gamecube December 18, 2007
This is the first Mario Party for Nintendo GameCube. This is the seventh best selling game on all of GameCube. This is very different from 5,6,7 the other GameCube Mario Party games. It does not have capsules / orbs. It has items technique to Mario Party 3. This is the only Mario Party on GameCube where you can be Donkey Kong. The plot was the gang gets invited to a party hosted by Toad, Goomba, Koop, Shy Guy, Boo ( which each have their own course ). This is the only with an exrta game room. This is the last Mario Party game to not have solo mode. Then you have the courses which each have a metaphor like one is a casino, haunted bash, carnival, beach and jungle but this rages out of the Mario Party league for GameCube. This is no match for the best Mario Party. This only has 8 characters and the main host ( Toad ) is bringing through certain modes. This is the last Mario Party where you can not be Boo or Toad. This is a little more futuristic for 2002.
Grade: B+
 Great Game! September 4, 2007
I rented this game from Video Review yesterday and absolutely LOVE it! It may be an old game but it is great! It has Battle, 3 on 1, Bowser, and 4 player minigames! It features: Koopa, Toad, Boo, Goomba, and Shy Guy who have their own courses.
Quite fun! June 5, 2007

There are some really fun minigames in this game like "Booksquirm", but there is also a load of boring 3-1 games, I didn't really like ANY of them.
The graphics are very pretty, the water effects in one of the minigames is beautiful.
There's also a lottery where you can win muschrooms or money.
Bowser Minigames are fun, a bit long, but I love the humor in "Fruits of Doom".
"Dee-lish!"
My only complaint about this game is how SLOW the characters move on the board, it's like watching them walk in slow-motion, it sadly takes up most of the time you are playing.
Love the Mini-Games May 7, 2007

This Mario Party has the best mini-games of any of the Mario Party's and I definately recommend buying this one before some of the others.
