Review Mario Party: Island Tour (3DS)
Rolling the dice
Back in 1999, Mario and his crew could have taught Prince a thing or two about how to celebrate the coming of a new millennium. Establishing itself as a mainstay on the Nintendo 64, the Mario Party series showed up three times to blister hands and bring friends and family together to yell at each other at the top of their lungs...

I like Mario Parties a lot, but sadly next one for 3DS, meh, I don't mind
If this game features online play, I will get it.
@Nintonic It does not have Online play. Just Download play
@TheGreatGamer I completely agree. I too was kind of disappointed when I heard it was for the 3DS. This game is more of a game you play in your living room with friends or family. While online play fills that gap somewhat, it's still not the same.
Seeing that I played Mario Party DS, I'll get this one but not now.
Time to go to EB Games

I got this game last year and it was Very Good but I still wish that they had the star concept but nevermind thatit's a good game.
This game is so underrated! It has a wide variety of boards each with their own unique objectives and play times for all kinds of players and experiences, the character roster is pretty decent (all your staples like Mario, Luigi, Peach, Daisy, Wario, Waluigi, Yoshi and Toad, and a couple of less common ones like Boo and Bowser Jr.) and the minigames are a blast! It's so funny blowing up shell tanks or yelling in frustration when my sister juuust beats me to it in a quickfire minigame! Bowser's Bizarre Volcano is our favourite one, I love its creativity with the goal being to stay away from the goal! The rest are awesome too - Perilous Palace Path adds a little intensity with the Bowser Zone and some strategy with the items you pick when you win a minigame, Banzai Bill's Mad Mountain balances skill with luck when you toss up whether to play it safe or risk it, Star-Crossed Skyway is very tactical with trying to predict who will get to the best number of Mini Stars first and position yourself to get them, Rocket Road is a toss up of when to use your Boosters with there being that small chance of backfiring and getting 0 and wasting them, Kamek's Carpet Ride is a game full of skill and strategy with choosing the right cards to play and which ones to pick when you win a minigame, and Shy Guy's Shuffle City (the one time I played it!) was basically Old Maid but Mario Party, a great combination! My only complaint would be that the Bowser's Tower mode falls flat after the first few runthroughs, and I wish you could play Shy Guy's Shuffle City with COM characters and set the length of the boards (which of course isn't possible because of their linear format, but that's precisely what makes Bowser's Bizarre Volcano such a great board, but maybe they could have had where there's more spaces if it lasts longer?), but other than that? Honestly, a pretty good game, especially for a handheld, and it's even better with multiplayer (especially with 3 or 4 players because you can play Shy Guy's Shuffle City!), you only need one card! I know it ditches the traditional Star format for Mini Stars and goal reaching objectives, but for this game it actually works really well, and allows for a mix of minigame ability, skill and luck to determine the true party champion. 7/10 in my opinion.
