 GameSpy.com - Review
The one major glitch with the entire Mario Party series -- not just this fifth installment -- is that the monotony of moving plastic pieces around a game board just isn't entertaining, no matter if it's on a Monopoly mat or digitized -- decorated with 3D razzle-dazzle --- on the GameCube.

 Mario Party 5 review for the GAMECUBE
Mario Party has been a surprising staple for Nintendo since the first bash came out in 1999. When you have the right mix of willing players, the game can certainly be fun.
In Mario Party 4, the key to the basic mushroom power-up was that you could grow big and stomp away 10 coins from any opponent you happen to cross. There was a certain strategy involved; do you trigger the mushroom now or wait until you're sure to squash a guy in front of you?
Conversely, Mario's parties have become haggard and tired. Mario Party 5 is a step backward for the series with its needless vending machine set up and bland mini-games.
