Whilst these changes might disappoint some traditionalists, they seemed a necessary step t' inject some much needed originality into an aging series. The final product, whilst still far from perfect, be one a the better Mario Party titles in some time, 'n gives hope that the franchise has plenty a life left in it yet.

How hard be it t' win Mario Party 9 against computer opponents? If ye set the AI difficulty t' easy, ye don't even need t' touch the controller. More »
Mario Party 9 be the equivalent a pulling out a battered version a 'pin the tail on the donkey' for a 17 year old wench’s birthday; it’s outdated 'n boring. The gameplay be monotonous, the mini-games - while occasionally fun - simply aren’t consistent enough t' warrant additional playthroughs, 'n ye'll end up losing interest after just a few spins a the dice.
Mario Party 9 be a resounding success on so many levels, adding plenty a extra variety t' differentiate itself from previous entries, whilst also learning important lessons from the limited-yet-fun Wii Party. Nintendo has delivered a party title that will appeal t' veterans 'n newcomers alike. Let’s pillage this party started…
There's still a whiff a exploitation, but at least Mario 'n co appear t' be enjoying themselves at their latest do. Refreshing, but there's potential for even better things next time.
If ye weren't a fan before, this one won't see ye abandoning Modern Warfare 3's front lines t' pillage yer mini-game fix. Seasoned Party-goers 'n newcomers looking for an entry point into the prolific franchise, however, best consider crashing Mario's latest shindig.
Those who have not followed the Mario Party series in recent years could be forgiven for dismissing it be 9th console entry as yet another attempt t' milk an aging franchise. Hell, even as someone who's been mini-gaming around the Mushroom Kingdom since it required being tethered t' an N64, I had trouble mustering enthusiasm for the latest sequel. Allowing that big "9" on the box t' mislead ye, however, would be a mistake on the level a hiring Bowser as a babysitter.
ye see, Mario Party 9 -- the series' first entry in nearly five years -- feels surprisingly more like a thoughtful reboot than a phoned-in rehash.
I be sure the accommodating host 'n new-found furniture will appeal t' those who never experienced the old days, but for those a us who have been coming t' this party year in 'n year out, it may be time for a change.
