Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Don't buy this game!
At first, i thought this game would be good... My aunt and i were shopping for my b-day present, when all of a sudden i saw a sonic game. and you'all no how cool sonic is. But wait.... this game is a copy of Mario Party 1+2. Now c'mon, sega's copying nintendo now??? This game looks good, but it really isnt. You probably think that my review is bad, but, if u buy this game you'll see what i mean.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Frustrating, tedious fun
Do not buy this. I am going right out and saying it. Mabye if you really want to, rent it. the mini games are fun, and are the only redeeming value, every other time you will be bored or frustrated. the graphics are neat, with the cell shading techniques. Also, the load times are not so bad, but every time you do something else besides play the board game, you undergo 2 long load times.(eg, you land on a mini game, it loads, you play it, it loads again) all in all, i expected more in a mario party spin-off

p.s- i do not even own a N64 so dont think i am biased to it



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Fun, But Sort Of A Letdown....
I wanted to play this for so long. And the fact it was being done by Hudson Soft (the same guys who did Mario Party 1, 2 and the upcoming 3)made me confident it would be good. Now it's here... and I'm happy and disapointed. Let me start with the good. First, the graphics: they're very good. The game uses the cel-shaded thing for the characters, like Jet Grind Radio did; this was a good idea. The levels are well rendered and colorful. Second, the controls. They're pretty simple. Not as simple as Mario Party, but simple nevertheless. The mini-games' controls are tight and responsive and moving around the board is pretty easy. The mini-games are lots of fun and the sounds are good with the voices of all the characters from Sonic Adventure. Now, the bad. First, no online play. It was orignally going to be in the game, but it was taken out. Second, the AI (Artifical Intelligence). This is what almost destroys the game and is by far the biggest problem. When you pick a card to move, only you can see your own cards, the next player can only see his own cards, and so on. When you play against the computer, when they pick one of your cards,(it happens a lot)they always pick the card they need: I.E. they are 5 spaces away from a Precious Stone, and don't have a 5. You have a 5. They pick from you and they always get the 5. And this happens on every difficulty level, even Easy mode! Strangely, while the computer players seem psychic on the board, in the mini-games, they are very dumb. Plus, the load times are a little longer then they should be. But all in all, this is a fun game, paticularly with 4 players. Fun and new mini-games help round out this package. While Mario Party 2 is better than this game, this is a fun game. Rent it before you buy to see for your self if it's for you.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - This game is not bad at all.
Okay. This game has some VERY NICE graphics. A lot more replay value than SA1. Great minigames. (even though there are some boring ones) A lot harder than SA 1. (even on easy level, computer is kinda unfair every now and then.) And lot's of stuff happening in the boards. The music is kinda lazy compared to some of SA 1's tracks. Sound is good. (they also use some unused sfx from SA1) Gameplay is great as well. My complaints is that it kinda takes around 2-3 hours to complete a board. SA 1's story is much better. And a small number of mini games are pointless. Mini events are good but usually simple. (athough there are some that are trial and error, I also have one more to find and unlock.) Loading time are slightly longer than they are in the rest of my games, but they aren't 30 seconds to a minute. They are 8 to 15 seconds. I can wait through them like any other game of mine. Slightly slower than SA1, but because you are using a card to move rather than the control stick. This game in short is a great wait to the next game that looks like it might be better than SA 1. The almighty SA2!!!! Let's hope that after I've played SA2 as many times as I have SA1 that I will still give SA2 FIVE STARS instead of three.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - It'll take the fun right out of your party
I'm gonna get this out of the way right now: this game is aggravating. It starts off slow and does not pick up. I first got a taste of it at my friend's party last weekend. We were both pumped to play it and couldn't wait for other guests to arrive so we could have four people playing at once. Well, the excitement wore off as soon as we started playing. The game board was right out of Mario Party and didn't look too exciting. The mini-games were dull and too short.Before too long, the other guests watching were getting bored out of their minds. And so were the people playing. But it's not like we didn't give it a chance! We persisted. We wanted to like it! Then, my friend did us all a favor: he turned off. Sadly, the rest of the guests cheered. Not the sign of a good game. I'm sticking with board games.
