This product works great and was super easy to setup, took me about 2 minutes and i was online! I'm using it at my apartment for my Dell Inspiron desktop running Windows Vista OS. I have it in my bedroom, and our wireless router is a good 30 feet away in the dining room (blocked by several walls). T

Rating:

The last two trilogies ended on whimpers, as far as I am concerned and the build-up did not follow through.

That ended with this trilogy. The Genesis series so far has been great. The story arc begun in Armageddon's Children and The Elves of Cintra had a great climax in The Gypsy Morp

Rating:

It was a great elaboration of something every student has to read in school. Visualizing the monsters was difficult from the reading, it was nice to see them. The computer method for creating this movie was fascinating to learn about and may be a future trend.

Not Much of a Party
7/19/2008
I have owned the very first Mario Party for Nintendo 64 and now that I have purchased Mario Party 8 and played it, it's a HUGE downgrade! In the first Mario Party you can purchase different trophies to gamble your coins, different blocks to use on the game boards, break records, etc. In Mario Party 8, there isn't much you can do beside play the board games, the mini games aren't much fun, some of the new characters are plain and no matter how good you do in the board games, you still get the same amount of carnival cards! The bottom line is, this game is boring and nothing compared to the first Mario Party!

Thank You.

Fun for family and friends
7/16/2008
This is a game that I have enjoyed playing with friends and family. It is an easy game to understand. I have also enjoyed exploring the game on my own as well. At times the game can get a little repetitive especially if you are playing on your own. But as a game for more than one player I find it great fun. The mini games allow a range of skills to be needed and so therefore allows different people to win each time. You just need to have those 4 remotes to really max out the fun for all which of course is the down side. So for that and it being a little repetitive I have removed a star. But I would recommend as a good game to have!

Thank You.

Too tedious
7/6/2008
Purchased this with expectations that the mini-games would be easy to get into and fun. After trying them out, I can only describe them as tedious. Every game seems to have 10 or so "intro" screens that you have to go through. To make matters worse, there are different ways to get through the intro screens. Some require pushing A, others you have to select options with the cursor then click A, others require jumping to get a random dice roll. Then getting into the game itself this type of tediousness continues all over again. This may be fun for some occasions, but I would recommend highly you try out the game before you buy.

Thank You.

Not as expected.
6/18/2008
I was expecting this game to be exciting, fun and addicting.
But honestly, when I started playing I was so bored. The mini games are quick and not anything I wanted them to me. The whole "board game" part of the game bored me so bad.. when it wasn't my turn, I was trying to find something to do to make time go by faster. If you play with computers, it's impossible to get the stars.. and yeah, I think it's definitely more of a kids game. I think it would be a lot more fun when you aren't competing against the computers.

Thank You.

Best game for our four-year-old
5/16/2008
This is the first Wii game we've gotten that really engaged our 4-year-old boy. Ultimately up to now he could care less about our other Wii titles such as Cars, Carnival Games, and Playground Games.

Our boy loves that he can play a lot of this out of the box. He can choose his character and move him around the board. Because the game leverages the Wii controller quite well he can get into the mini-games. The best feature is that you can practice each mini-game as much as you want, which is good because some of them take a few tries. The variety of games alone satisfies our short attention span family quite well. There is a train map that just hooked him big-time, so if you have a boy between the ages of 3-8 it will likely hook your boy too.

The professional reviewers have to be taken with a grain of salt. The comic-book-guy reviewers with lame beards and questionable hygiene are not going to like a game that a 4-year-old does. One reviewer noted that much of the game is left to chance instead of skill. This is actually a big plus for parents with small kids. I am hyper-competitive so it's not my first instinct to let the kid (or Wookie) win. But with this game my little boy came in second place on his own, so between the game itself and the adjustable difficulty levels, my kid can kick my butt at a much younger age, which keeps me in check!

Thank You.
