It's really the only Mario Party that ever included character costumes for the different locations. If you go to the space land the character have on little astronaut outfits and if you choose the pirate land they all have pirate hats on. You can play as Mario, Luigi, Peach, Yoshi, Wario, or my personal favorite DK (they took him out of later versions, so sad.) I had to score this category so high since the Mario characters even have the most adorable costumes on depending which location you choose to play at. The different characters have so many distinct animations. The Wii-mote adds a whole different element to gameplay than holding a traditional controller does! Graphics: 10/10-The graphics are very cute and colorful.

Make sure you try Mario Party 2 or one of the early versions before you try a more complicated Wii version. The game-play is pretty straight-forward and easy to follow along with even if you've never played before. In Mario Party 2 you can only carry one item. In Mario Party 3 they allow you to carry three items at a time. For example, a mushroom item will give you two dice blocks instead of one and a golden mushroom will give you three dice blocks so you can get further around the game board. You can also get helpful items as you go through the game. You collect coins as you go by landing on blue spaces or you can win them in the mini-games. This game came out in the days before you could play against another person online.you actually had to have the friend with you in the same room! Can you believe video games used to be played that way? :P The object of the Mario Party games is to be the player who gets the most stars on after 20, 35, or 50 turns on the game board. Anyways, Mario Party 2 is quite simply a great game to play with real friends since you can play with up to four people. Previous game consoles like NES and Super Nintendo only allowed for two players at a time. Those are fun in their own way, but there was just something so cool about being able to play a game like this with four players on the Nintendo 64 console.

I just love the original Mario Party games better than the newer Wii versions. Mario Party 3 is just a tad bit better for the fact that you can hold three items instead of just one. Thanks for reading my review of Mario Party 2 for Nintendo 64! -kramer4077 Overall: 9.5/10-Who wants to party?! Have a Mario party that is! I have played all the Mario Party games and this is my second favorite one to play.
