The GameDaily One-Minute Review

Mario Party DS is a likable entry, featuring over sixty mini-games to choose from. Most of them are actually fun, particularly when playing against friends through the useful Game Sharing option. The ability to score board items and extra puzzle games is a nifty bonus, adding to longevity. However, the Mario Party formula is too comparable to previous games, with dull artificial intelligence (except on Expert). Lastly, the absence of Wi-Fi support hurts the game's appeal.
