Mario Party DS Review

Hey guys!

It's Yeah568 here and it's been a LONG time since I made a post (sorry!). Anyways, here's my review of the Nintendo DS game Mario Party DS, developed by Hudson Soft and published by Nintendo.

Story: Pretty simple story. Mario finds a crystal, Bowser wants it, Bowser invites Mario and Friends to his castle for a feast as an apology, and then shrinks them all and takes the crystal. Mario goes on his trek to get back to normal size, and defeat Bowser (again).

STORY:8/10

Gameplay: Same old, same old. Roll dice. Move squares. Mini-game. Repeat. There is a new Puzzle Mode, with classic puzzle games from previous games. The mini-games are hard, but not so hard that you start pulling everybody's hair out from frustration.

GAMEPLAY: 8/10

Graphics: What did you expect from a Mario Party game on the DS? Usual 3D - ish graphics, nothing special. This game doesn't depend on graphics that much. so that's good for boosting that score.

GRAPHICS: 8/10

Music: The music sticks with the Mario Party music theme. Kind of repetitive, not really. I liked the music part of the game, as there are many different soundtracks, and they are pretty catchy.

MUSIC: 9/10

OVERALL RATING: 8.25/10 - Great
