Mario Party 8 brings the classic party game experience to the Wii with a burst of motion controls. While the zany minigames are as chaotic and hilarious as ever, some minigames feel hampered by overly simplistic Wii Remote usage. The boards offer creative themes and fun twists, and unlocking everything keeps you entertained with friends. If you're seeking a classic party game with some Wii-era novelty, Mario Party 8 might be your ticket, but be prepared for some frustrations along the way.

I have never wanted to kill my friend more than after losing a star to them after getting utterly classed in an incited Duelo Candy minigame.

definitely not my favorite mario party
