Fun, but not as much so as MP8. I don't feel that this type of board game works well with systems other than Wii.

The Mario Party 7 GameCube game is definitely much better than the other Mario Party games. There is a lot more to do. Children seem to enjoy this game much more than adults, but it has to be kids with a long attention span! It might be quite useful actually for an adult game night, because you can choose how long you want the game to be (how many turns each player gets), and some of them go on for literally HOURS. But my younger brother loves it, especially to play when he's got friends around for the afternoon. The mini games are actually really good fun for everyone, but the game is very complicated. I would say this game is brilliant for kids just to play in their own time, but perhaps it might be too complicated and long for a general family game. Although, I would suggest trying it out, because you never know, all families are different.
