Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Super Mario Party Jamboree?

I haven’t played it yet, but it’s looks awesome. Probably gonna be the best one since 8!

The people who give it a 1/10 on this poll probably got their star stolen on the last turn (or perhaps the Eurogamer reviewer?)

@PikminMarioKirby They hate it cause of the lack of political and social commentary that is the staple of the Mario Party series since 1939.

I don't like to unlock basic stuff like boards.

"One, two, Switch" had the same stupid limit, where you only had 7 games until you played each game a couple of times, even so you don't like them.

Dice skins or characters are fine. Those do not limit the over all gaming experience. Suppressing boards is very bad.

The AnimalCrossing board game also was great. Most people where turned of by it, because several key features where absent by default. You had to play several games to unlock stuff and get a choice.

ESPECIALLY, when you take just your game to a friend and then notice there is suddenly only one board to select from and not the one you favor.

It’s sincerely one of the most impressive multiplayer offerings Nintendo has ever put out and feels like the culmination of feedback received regarding past entries and also other Mario spin offs that have come up short. Content rich and varied in its gameplay to make every session fresh and surprising for years to come. My girlfriend and I can’t get enough of it. 9/10.

This was never really on my radar, but that it is apparently such high quality and the AI (I'm a lonely man) is so good means that I might go for it.

I haven't played a giant amount of it but I'm feeling like a 7. It does a lot of things right but it takes a really needlessly long time to start and has really nonintuitive menus, which are kind of big problems for what's supposed to be a pick up and play party game, and the economy is pretty much exactly as hopelessly busted as it was in Superstars where you can never win any minigame and still be easily bringing in like 30 coins per turn if the die rolls end up in your favor.

Also I feel like even by Mario Party standards the AI is really blatantly in gang-up-on-the-human mode.

A really strong 9/10!
The boards are top-notch and all the side modes are great additions which don't detract from the main party experience as was often the issue with previous titles.

I understand why they did it but I miss character specific dice.

Pro mode turns the worst modern Mario Part into the best, easily turning this from a 6/10 to an 8/10.

I'd say 8/10. Really like the boards (favourite is Rainbow Galleria), Jamboree buddies create extra fun chaos and the side modes are cool as well (especially Koopathlon) however there's not enough minigames for the main Mario Party mode.

I rate this game a 10/10, this my opinion, my favorite mode on this game is Bowser’s Kaboom Squad, I haven’t lost a game in this mode, if anyone wants to join me in Bowser’s Kaboom Squad, please let me know and I’ll send you the code.

I haven’t tried all the side modes and haven’t played all the boards yet but I think this is an ok Mario party. Not the best but not the worst. Definitely better then the super Mario party but not as good as superstars, the last one. Some of the new mini games, including the motion ones are not good. However there are some really fun ones on there. I am mixed on this. Maybe it will get better but I am not liking how they combined both of the last Mario parties together. Some mini games are not playable when using a pro controller which sucks. Not a lot of mini games as I thought. Glad they brought back some mini games from past games though

One thing that has bothered me with it is that, when playing with AI, it 100%s rhythm minigames every single time. Including when playing with multiple AI, they all 100% every time. This is in “normal” mode when playing boards and just minigames.

As someone else mentioned, the amount of time it takes to get anywhere (and number of clicks) is just way too long and it’s not even a loading problem. The areas and menu are confusing to work with/find what you want. All of that will probably get better as I play more and get used to it, I assume, but it’s been a rough start.

Otherwise, boards are strong, playable characters are strong.

I put it at 7/10 for now. It is fun once you get going.

Im having a blast with it. I did play a few games alone on the train and dang, the Master CPUs are no joke. Aside from almost never messing up, they actually are crazy with their plans on the boards.

Loving the minigames, really fun when playimg with friends and how competitive it all feels, especially with the Jamboree Buddy duels

Haven't tried out the motion controlled minigames, or Koopathlon or Bowser's Kaboom Squad yet most of the minigames are fun aside from cookie cutters, it sucks when you don't have partners & it took like multiple tries for me when I was helping out Kamek with the party. Of course the bane of my existence was Luigi’s minigame that combination was a nightmare to figure out.

The main Mario Party was fun... until Luigi screwed me over by swapping all my stars with Shy Guy's because of Chance Time tossing me in third place near the last few turns from where I could never recover... at least I back handed him when he tried to challenge me for another star & he tried the absolutely nothing method making it easy for me.

Fun game, may have to try out more to really get a feel for things & attempt online one day.

@Lizuka Modern Mario Party really lack that sense of danger of the GameCube and N64 Games.

There's just too many way to win things and not enough to lose them. Even if you have fun it feels kind of bland.

My top 5 are Mario Party DS, 3, 5, 6 and 8. But I think I need take 6 out of there to make some place for Jamboree!

With a lot of Mario Party games the mini games are the game, and the rest just holds it together. For Johnny No Friends it can be a bit dull.

But this game seems to have a lot of supporting content that makes it feel like a full game. There is plenty to do. Plenty to collect. And solid online game modes.

To me the drawbacks are the option to disable motion controls, but then at the same time, have 3 full sections on the menu for motion control games. Odd choice. We all know motion controls are experimental and not many enjoy them due to the hit and miss. Would have been better to have a single motion control section, and more menu options for something more fun.

And the other being the length of time for online games. I have had games ruined by players dropping out. It becomes a battle of who ends up with the dud AI.

one thing I've heard which sounds frustrating is that turning off the motion controls just ends up disabling the motion controlled minigames rather than allowing you to use a different control scheme for them, would have been cool to have had some skyward-sword style creative solutions to allow them to still be playable.

otherwise game looks great and hearing that its more solo friendly than others makes it seem like its also good for when i dont have other players around (which is most of the time)

Can't rate it yet, played too less so far.
I like the visuals and mini games are good.
On the other hand, there's so much luck crap on the boards and I hate that it's supposed to be played with the joy cons and limited with pro controller.

@Pirate1 I imagine the AI gets 100% every time now because it's a cooperative mode. When you play by yourself, you don't want to get a lower score because of the AI even when you get a perfect score. Especially since there are achievements that come from getting a certain score.

Reading through the comments, this sounds like a new Mario party not bogged down by gimmicks like Super Mario Party.

I’m not ready to throw down $80 CAD + tax but I hope to add it to my collection one day.

I only own Mario Party 3 on N64 and Superstars, and pretty much played them all elsewhere except Super Mario Party. I find this series only works at certain moments in a period of time. Either when group hangouts are frequently on rotation or rather, you’re fully committed in single player mode. The latter is much more difficult today given all the other excellent single player games out there.

Long winded way to say, I’ll pass until there is a “sale” or plan on hosting a party where I know people will play. Glad it’s reviewing so well

@PikminMarioKirby "best since MP8" is an insanely low bar ngl

I haven't played this game yet, but I've heard it's good. I can't wait to get this game for Christmas, and then play as Daisy on all of them, and all of the modes!

This month, I haven't had the budget.

I'm going with a 7/10. I'm happy with there being plenty of options to play the game with and being able to play as Toad once more is a bliss in my eyes. A bigger step up over the original Super Mario Party, indeed.

That said, I do feel that the game took some steps back as recoil (slower pacing on boards, Jamboree Buddy system needing more time in the oven, Koopathlon being slower and bare compared to Mario Party: Star Rush's Coinathlon mode, etc.) and motion controls felt so trivial and easily-ignored that it might as well not have been in the game. I wasn't much of a fan of the new boards and mini games either.

I've played the best board, and I've played peoples least favourite one. I've did a chunk of singleplayer and....it's amazing, all of it!

It's just so immensely fun, the interface is helpfull and nice and the games have a depth and challenge to them that really is something special!

It's truly one of the best MP games ever, and we've had a lot!

ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC GAME!!! A big fat easy 10 from me! So much to do on this one...single player is fantastic
