I bought this game about 3 days ago, and I have to say, I'm disappointed. The actual gameplay isn't that fun. A large portion of the gameplay is based on luck. The boss battles were surprisingly difficult for a Mario Party game. In the entire game, there are only 5 game boards to play on. The minigames are decent and there is a large variety, but most have terrible controls or are too luck-based. If anyone else has this game, I'd like to hear your input.

I love the Mario Party series, I don't own a DS or have this game, but this one doesn't look too attractive to me... and luck games are dumb.

I got it today as a gift and I wasnt too impressed. Its good if you want to keep busy but the fun runs out as soon as you finish a board. Minigame controls are horrible, and some minigames are just not fun. I say its worth a rent.
