Re: Review: Mario Party 10 (Wii U)

Smitherenez

I just finished a session of this game with a friend of mine. It was a real blast! The rounds were short and fun. My friend pointed out that this is actually great. The older games had rounds that kept going for about 2 hours. The problem was that if someone was in last place for the last turns, it would be half an hour of waiting for the inevitable defeat. Now, that is not the case! The minigames also have a lot of depth to them and happen frequently. When nobody lands on a Vs. spot for 6 dice rolls, a minigame will pop up by itself. The available dice give you plenty of strategic options too. As for bowser mode. I was playing as bowser and my friend had 3 'master AI' allies. I did not stand a chance against them! Saying that bowser is OP doesn't make sense at all. You simply need skilled players in the kart to make it to the end. Didn't have time for the amiibo mode, but that will be something for next time.

I think we will get another direct in 1 or 2 weeks. It's about (Reyn) time! I would love to see more of Yoshi and Zelda. We know next to nothing about 3DS games for this year, so I would like to see some more about that. Also, I hope for a Metroid related announcement, but I fear we have to wait for E3 for that bombshell to hit us.

I picked Bayo 2 for the WiiU game of the year. For 3DS, it is Tomodachi Life. That game is also my overall game of the year. It completely got me by surprise and I have been playing it for 5 minutes per day since launch. The amount of actual content may be slim and repetitive, but the scenarios that you and your friends end up in are hilarious. Whenever a friend comes over to my place they ask how their Look-a-like is doing. It is a charming experience, and I love it.
