Island Tour was hated, MP8 was mediocre, MP9 was hated, and MP Advance gets trashed on a lot and yet we still are ending up with Mario Party 10. That logic doesn't work here. Nintendo doesn't look at reviews or scores, they do what they want and they've said that 1000 times. They make the games in their image and don't do what others tell them to do. Clearly, by now, after a series of 13 games (console + handheld) that have failed to even make an 8/10 EVER (except very close by MP1), they probably don't give a crap about what any of us think. Sales are what drives them, if sales were very low then they'd probably trash the series or really consider a new route. But thanks to low WiiU sales, their expectations are even lower on sales. The average score for the entire series (if you include a flat 70 for MP10) is 64%. The series gets a D as a whole. A low D in fact. You can almost guarantee a Mario Party 11 some day that will make us all wretch even harder than we're doing now.
Maybe instead of a car MP11 can have a minivan. That's attractive.
Or this nasty thing can make a comeback

sigh, I was really excited about the game but after seeing the reviews I don't know if I should get it or not :'(
I've never played a mario party game before so it's not like I can compare it to what came before it so maybe my view on the game would differ from people who are familiar with the series?

I want Mario Party 10 because of it's great amiibo support!

I mean this is like the second major amiibo game, it slowly is getting worth it buying these amiibo figures! I luckily got a Rosalina so i can play as my favourite character in amiibo party!

I believe if that if you have family willing to play with you or gaming friends who would come over often enough, then you could definitely do a lot worse than getting Mario Party 10. Whether you're a professional gamer or a person who don't often play video games, the game can appeal to anyone. Given it's a party game, the luck factor does frequently come into the play, but there's also some strategy and skill involved that could help you gain an edge over the others. If solo is something you're looking forward, you'll be disappointed. This game costs 60$ CAD for the downloadable version. If you're getting the one with Mario amiibo, you'll be spending ten extra dollars.
If you already have multiple Classic Controllers and Wii Remotes, you can get Mario Party 2 on Wii Shop Channel for 1000 Wii Points ($10 USD) or from Club Nintendo at 250 coins. The game may be older and looks a bit more dated, but it's still fun and much more affordable.
Don't be disheartened these sorts of games never really get good review/scores. If you have friends/family to play with you can't go wrong really. Since it's aimed at the casual market it doesn't really do well when reviewed by people who play games for a living.

You guys sure love talking about Mario Party 2 on the Mario Party 10 board. Give it a rest, as if there isn't Mario Party 8 to play on your WiiU as well. Break out a GameCube or N64 and play something other than 2 for goodness sake.

That is totally true, Mario Party never scored high on most sites whilst a lot of people had fun with them!

STOP IT.
I hate the damn Mario Party car and I hate that trophy car too. I'd prefer a minivan at this point.

I know right? Mario Party is really fun in my opinion! It can also ruin your friendship but actually a lot of the newer Nintendo games can! Mario Bros. is dangerous for for your friendship too because you may pick up the fire flower your friend wanted or you throw him right into the void. Mario Kart is also a complete disaster... it could easily damage your friendship heavily lol. All those shells and bananas flying around makes your friend go crazy! Or maybe my friends are a bit odd, that is a possibility too of course!
But the games still can ruin your friendship,
Regardless what type of friends you have!

I've only watched part 1 of GameXplain's post review discussion, seen their gameplay and what those 3 people have to say about the game, and from all of that:
Compared to 9, this game has a lot more polish. The screen where it shows the minigame type has live models for the characters, for crying out loud. But the overall product isn't good. Less stages that have the same themes from 9, and what didn't really work from that game, gets an encore (the car)? The linear aspect of 9 & 10 makes the game a bit boring. Classic Mario Party is a much more entertaining and strategic experience, a long game where you choose your own path. Would want 10 to revert back to classic, of course that didn't happen. At least let Classic be a MODE.
But, instead, Bowser Party is the second mode. Does it look good? Looks watered down, 10 minigames, and Bowser is heavily advantaged. I think Nintendo thought Bowser would have a hard time winning so they gave them all these damn handicaps. Well, originally, I think Bowser and Team Mario would have been pretty even minus handicaps, maybe the advantage still with Bowser, but it seems Bowser ALWAYS wins.
Havent seen much of amiibo party and if I do get Mario Party 10, It'll be for amiibo party. However, I would only be able to use my Toad amiibo since my current Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, and Rosalina amiibos have Smash fighter data that I don't want to erase. Will comment on amiibo party later.
Overall, I'm done with the Mario Party series unless they overhaul.

Mario Party DS was one of my favorite Mario Party games ever! You had a adventure with boss battles that actually made sense and were serious, now it is more like a mini game. Also you get to unlock dioramas and trophies. There was just so much to unlock and so much to do for a DS game! I think it is one of the best DS games ever made, it even looks good graphically!
I think Mario Party 10 is a good second for me though, i never played it but it looks awesome, the mini games look actually really enjoyable for the first time since Mario Party 7 and the car mechanic does not look too bad anymore.
As for my amiibo, i do not mind erasing my Smash data, you can train them easily back to level 50 by letting all your amiibo fight each other. Also i think Mario Party 10 makes better use of amiibo so i'd rather use my amiibo for that game than for Super Smash Bros.

Counting sheep!
Yes Mario Party 10 is fun game! I plays it always on the days and i love it at the moment! I use my brother amiibo so i can do amiibo party and i always use the luigi bord! It is good fun at all times but can be annoying when you lose.
Sorry for my bad english i am dutch speaker and just 11 years old, please understand
