it seems that IGN has a terrible taste in games AND Music.

edit : and artstyles >_>

Wii Party will probably be the "party game" I get this generation (Well... I had Rayman Raving Rabbids, but I sold it). I mean, I got one last generation (Mario Party... 6 I think. ) and had the generation before (the first Mario Party). They're definitely a unique genre of game that are great to play with friends and family.

Also, I've heard great things about Wii Party and the fun ways that the game implements the WiiMote. Should be fun when the whole family is over for Christmas (since It'll probably be a Christmas-list gift. )

That's seven points higher than I expected them to rate it. I'm impressed.

I don't really like the new IGN. Ever since they changed their rating system, the scores have been really random for more and more games. Like Tumble or Atelier Rorona or Castlevania or Samurai Warriors 3 just to name a few. They were usually the good guys!

XD

you should have got Mario Party 8, why skipped it?

Hrm... I'm not entirely sure. I mean, Mario Party 8 was never a title I felt like I needed to have. Heck, even Mario Party 6 was a last minute decision (I bought it after 7 was released, and it was very cheap. Still, that one mini-game where one guy is in that mech suit and calls out voice commands to try and destoy the others is VERY fun.).

With Wii Sports, Rayman Raving Rabbids, and then with Wii Sports Resort, I was pretty satisfied with my collection of games that anyone could hop in and play (and have a good ol' time). But this year I've felt the "Mario Party blues", and I've wanted a more traditional Party game.

Wii Party is pretty much Mario Party 9, and it looks totally fun. I have a soft spot for games that anyone can have a blast with, and Wii Party is going to fill that gap in my gaming life.

bout par for the Wii series
