Mario Party 8, MetaCritic score (as of 1pm est.) 78/100

GamePro:
Played alone, against the computer, the game is barely worth popping out of its case. But, having even one other human opponent ups the fun exponentially–you just can’t get the same satisfaction out of trash talking against a faceless computerized enemy.

GameTrailers:
The level of customization and personalization available in Mario Party 8 and the intuitive fun of the Wiimote make it the quintessential party accessory of 2007. What few control weaknesses are present are overshadowed by the inane fun and competition, a host of unlockables, and addictive mini-games.

Yahoo! Games:
Let’s be honest, who looks to party games for stunning originality, cutting-edge presentation, and engrossing single-player modes? It’s Mario. He parties. So will you.
