Can't believe it took them so long to release this game for the Wii. Love the series, but wish they stoped pumping out yearly ones on Gamecube, it was too much.
The last one I played was Mario Party 3 on N64, so maybe this is old, but all players travelling around together sounds a bit disappointing - no more races to the stars! I guess it could be some excitement in rooting for low or high rolls or screwing over everyone for whatever reason, interesting to see how it plays in the end.
But ultimately the game is as good as its mini-games.
