Ok, this game was good and had it's ups and downs, as usual. The game had good characters, boards, gimmicks, plot, and mini games. The boards, like the one with the windmills and the Chinese one were both pretty good, but I really liked the Chinese map, that was a lot of fun and I really enjoyed playing it. The characters are good, especially when they added characters that were from 6, which were boo, birdo, dry bones and toadette. And the mini games, like the one where you have to collect one of each different type of music note, I enjoyed that one and thought it was pretty fun. I also like the story. The story is Mario is just wondering around and toads worth offers him a ride on a boat with his friends and he accepts and then Bowser doesn't want Mario to relax so he went to the island (which is whatever board you pick) that Mario was going to. I thought it was good and is somewhat interesting. But of course, there are the downs, the graphics. The weird thing is, I think the graphics in this game are the worst graphics out of the four GameCube Mario Party games. They look like they didn't try there best on the graphics like they did with the other three GameCube Mario Party games. Overall, this game was good and and how it's ups and downs, as most games have, and I think they somewhat tried their best.
