You guys are crazy i know im late but i love this game i like the mini games pretty much i like everything dont be saying bad stuff about mario...yea im talkin to you!

I don't get this: people are writing bad reveiws on Mario Party 5 because they are influenced by other reveiws (or they've never played multiplayer)! it's not a bad game, honest!

Mario Party 5 is a lot of fun. I Dont know why everyone thinks it sucks. I guess thats becuase the see the rating it got, then they judged it on that. But this game, and the other games are fun. They made a board game into lots of fun with adding minigames. PLus, if it sucked so much, then why could they make so many?

Mario Party 5 is a rubbish single player game, it has loads of minigames on it but most are rubbish and boring. This is a game for partys and nothing else. The only good part about this game was the mini beachball game and the ice hockey game which are great fun.

Playing Mario Party 5 is like drinking a mixture of beer and mustard. Exactly, it's TERRIBLE! This game is horrible because you walk around a very ugly board playing mini-games where you rapidly press A. All the time. Sound dull? You don't know the half of it. THE CHARACTER MODELS STINK! Mario looks like he ate too much cheese. Peach is not a princess, she's a BUM! And her screams break your TV.

Over N'Out-

Mario Party 5 is a complete disgrace to Gamecube. I'm pretty sure Gamecube can do better than this. You walk along the game bored (board, get it?) collecting dumb bonuses for your character. Whoop-die-doo. So much fun. No, it isn't fun. That is absolute sarcasm, folks.
What's the objective? Guess what? There isn't any! It's completely ludicrous! There's no objective, you ask? Why? I don't know either. That's one of the many reasons this game stinks on ice. This game just wasn't meant to be for a gamer's wallet. It's $50, but should really be $1. This game is shouting out to me when I go to the store: Don't buy me! I'm a clump of trash! And I can't agree more. To make things worse, people go to buy it just because it's a lousy sequel to Mario Party 4, which isn't all that great either. I can't believe people do this. They should really go to Blockbuster and rent it first. That way, if you hate it, you won't have wasted your money. Smart, huh? I was astounded when I rented this game that it was this bad. I expected it to be bad after I played Mario Party 4, but come on! Sequels are supposed to be better, not worse! Unfortunately, this one was worse.
People can be buying better games (such as Metroid Prime for Gamecube or Fire Emblem for GBA) but instead, they waste it on lousy games. This is a serious disapointment to me.
This game has horrible mini-games (probably because the publisher ran out of ideas). They're definately worse than the last Mario Partys. For example, in one mini-game you run around trying to get scoops of ice cream in your cone. This is totally lame. So much effort into a horribly outragous game. Don't get this game. Don't even rent it. I'm warning you.
