Mario Party 7

« The game is very challenging, and trying to collect all of the mini-games is rewarding. I will be playing this one even on my Revolution next year. »

« For those of you who party religously, you won't be disappointed. [Jan 2006, p.80] »

« It's better than the last game but not all that innovative. Of course, until somebody else steps up and makes a great party game, Mario Party's the only gig in town. »

« Adds some nice new features to the tried-and-true formula. [Jan 2006, p.110] »

« Mario Party 7 offers much love to everyone that will take it. The mic is accurate and responsive, no complaints there, though it would have been nice to have a few more mini-games that actually involved it. »

« This is yet another sequel for the fans of the series that don't want anything more than a comfortable dip in the same old pool. »

« The seventh iteration crams even more mini-games than you care to count, but sadly shies away from offering something truly innovative for loyal Mario fans. »

« To its credit, the title delivers some fun new boards and mini-games, and the multiplayer experience is as robust and enjoyable as ever. But it in contrast dishes out a worthless single-player mode marred by tediously slow computer-controlled character interactions. »

« on this Mario Party I think the boards were perfect the characters slow roster was perfect and literally if Nintendo keep these games going they'd think they've got our money cave coming #from me »

« One of the best Mario Party games. Solid title with great maps and fun minigames. »

« The last of the many GameCube Mario Parties, and it’s a super underrated one! The theme for this game is that Mario and his friends are going out on a cruise ship to travel the world, which is a neat idea. There are 2 new characters introduced to the series being Birdo and Dry Bones, and at the time they were excellent additions. We’ve got a good amount of boards which all play differently from one another which I really like. My favourites include Pagoda Peak where you’re climbing up a mountain to get the star and the price changes every time one is obtained, and Neon Heights where there are three treasure chests in different US themed areas, and there’s a chance you’ll either get a star or blown up by a bob-omb. Once again, the orbs return and makes things more interesting. The minigames are fun to play as usual, and this is the first and only game so far to include 8-player minigames, which even though there is only a few, it was a cool new mechanic to have. The only real problem this game is that some elements started to feel a little stale and it was time to change things up a bit… or so we thought! We eventually got Mario Party 9 and for years after that, we wanted to go back! But either way, this is one of my favourite Mario Party games, and you’ll get many many hours out of it! »

« This party feels boring, and there's not much to do beside play some linear boards and bad minigames. Avoid this one unless you are craving for a Mario Party that is a Mario Party with no things that set it apart from just a Mario Party. »

« Mario Party 7 is a definite contender for being the weakest link in the Gamecube tetralogy. And that's a downright shame following Mario Party 6, argued to be the best game in the series. While I don't despise this game by any means, it does feel somewhat lacking in the usual level of charm the Mario Party series is well known for. For one thing, the game starts out with a pretty bland intro of Mario and his pals going on a luxury cruise around the world. And Bowser, being ****'t have any of that. So it's up to Mario and friends to casually ignore him as they travel the globe for stars for some reason. It's not that I hate the world tour theme, but I really wish that did more with it. It's fun to watch Bowser shake things up every 5 turns. Like forcing everyone to take a cheesy group photo, charge a ridiculous sum of cash, and then make off without even giving anyone the picture. That's pretty funny, but it's also pretty predictable. Not to mention, Toadsworth is pretty generic host. Starting with Mario Party 3, each game included a set of original or magical characters leading Mario and company on fun adventures. But Toadsworth has no charm what so ever in this entire game. He just states the obvious and has an annoying habit of offering way too many tutorials. My guy, just leave me alone! Apparently he's a wizard in this game though. Able to summon players at an instant during announced Duel mini games. And I find it disturbing that he is strangely okay with putting Princess Peach in this incredibly dangerous party. Just stare into his cold eyes as he teleports the princess and you'll know what I'm talking about. The MSS Sea Star setting is just as boring. The interior design is just so uncreative. Without those Koopa Troopa waiters or those Ukiki sailors, this menu would have little to memorability. »
