I'm fairly disappointed in the game. All the extra bells and whistles are okay, but I would tolerate them a lot better if the Mario Party aspect of the game was the same as the Wii or the DS. There was so much more you could do on the maps. This game's maps are boring, and stagnate. Too easy to beat the computers and stay in first place once I have first place. What happened to the harder challenges, the extra bad luck spaces, and the event space craziness?? Is nintendo starting to make games for 5 year olds instead of the generation that grew up with their development? Is this what's going on?
