"In the night sky, past the moon and beyond the stars, there's a dream world known as dream depot, where everyone's dreams come together. This is the real land of dreams. . . In this land, there are Star Guards who protect the dreams of all. One dreamy night, the Star Guards thought of something. 'Many dreams arrive here at Dream Depot Every day,' they said, 'so. . . why don't we offer those with the power of dreaming a chance to visit?' It the end, they decided to invite Mario and his closest friends because, when it comes to dreamers, nobody dreams bigger than they do! So the Star Guards prepared for their guests' arrival by creating many fun filled games for them to play. And that is how the story of Mario and his friends both old and new began!" And that's only the first page in the instruction booklet! 7 courses, 10 characters, 3 of which are new, and an awesome story line! The ONLY resson why I'm not giving it 5 stars is cuz you CAN'T play more then 1 board map and a mini-game Wars at a time without going NUTS, but other then that, it's perfect!!!!
P.S. the game takes only 5 "Memory Blocks"!

Time to crash this party

First of all,there's not a whole lot to say on this game.It has changed a whole lot just improved the same game.Mario Party 1,2,3,4,5 aren't really differen't games they're just more developed versions of the same game.But since I have nothing else to do,I decided to rate it.

One of these reasons I gave this game three stars is (as others have said this isn't a new brillant thought) it's really not worth the money. I don't know about you folks out there but I'm not going to pay fifty dollars for a game that is the same as Mario Party 4.You might as well buy Mario Party 4 because it's about the same as Mario Party 5 (and as one of the other reviewers have said) it's cheaper and just as fun!

Another reason I gave this only three stars is the mini games aren't fun! They are a ton harder and I'm not saying there is anything wrong with harder butand the majority of them are just rapidly pushing buttons.And I don't know about you but I just don't have the thumb strength for that! It's frustrating! The majority of games in the previous Mario parties were at least fun but nintendo tried too hard with this game.I think half of them were because they ran out of ideas.They're pointless.

Not to mention the fact that during the story mode you don't play half the games (since they are chosen randomly) which means when you are playing mini games just for fun you don't get to play alot of the mini games because that's the only way you can play them out of story mode.You only get to play a few so you might as well not play at all.And another thing is they are alot less random events. You pretty much roll the dice,buy stars,and play the games.It's BORING and time consuming.

I'm not claiming to be a video game expert and like I said I don't find as much to say on this game as I do other games.But personally I recomend renting this for the weekend as opposed to wasting money on the game.I recommend older mario parties they are more fun!

Very Good game

Like previous Mario Party games this game is very fun and addictive and recommended for all Mario fans for muliplayer mode is just amazing but what brings down this games rating is the still weak and sometimes boring single player mode and too much text screens the level of reading in this game is too much and this is a great turn off but besides these the game is very good.

FUN FOR ALL

I've never played the first 3 mario party games ' because i never owned a N64 ' but mario party 5 is indeed a very fun game when i rented it out i use to think it was a childish game ; but later on i think its an okay game so months later i decide to buy it ; but I realise story mode can be hard but their was always the party mode to play ' In my opinion this game is a must have for fans of the mario party series ' Their are older people who enjoy this game I also think the music to the game is cute and we can all look forward for mario party 6 which will be release in december of this year.............

So buy this game you wont regret it :)

The best Game ever.

The game is very cool,butI like the mini-games the best.
"exam."-In the 1vs3 game MarioMechs,1 player controls a big,powerful,robot,while 3 players ride jets. (lasers includid).
There are also new kinds of mini-games called DK mini-games,so relax,peel a banana and have fun!

I did a review on MARIO PARTY 4, and my title was simple But SO MUCH FUN. I own every single mario game for the gamecube and i have to say this one was just like number 4. Simple. I like the minigames and orbs but the music and boards were not thrilling. I always said "come on nitendo, get cray' like they did for party 6&7 which where great! This game did have my favorite player TOAD and a koopakid? That was a waste. Party 4 is better than this one. To conclude my review i'll have to say...

"THANK-YOU-SO-MUCH-For-To-READING MY REVIEW~

The overall game is excellent! The new kind of one player mode is extremely convenient for the player. All three Koopa Kids roll at the same time, cutting game time down considerably, and therefore letting you get more done before your parents scream at you to get off the Game Cube!

FUN to FUN

First of all the mario party games are so old now and are getting to be boring. 50 buck for this game is terrible its not even worth 30. Nintendo needs to take my advice and start a fresh idea before they die out. Yes yes do not shoot me yet i will probly get this iteam when it is 30 ( with nintendo it might not be till 2009) but it is getting to old and boring. The same mini games over and over and over. Its been going on since 1998. lets get a FRESH IDEA HEAR NINTENDO [...]
