Though a little party tardy, Mario multiplayer shines

Some will say that Mario Party is defined partly by its presentation, but all the cutesy-poo pageantry slows the game to a less enjoyable pace. If only Mario had taken a cue from his yellow doppelganger, and the many other games of its sort, maybe we would've scored it higher. It's still plenty of wacky, crazy fun with four human players, but it's still a shame that it doesn't rise above the glut of other minigames compilations on the Wii despite its prestigious pedigree and the most impressive cast in all gamedom.
