Finally the last N64 game has been released, well a couple of weeks ago actually, i've got my copy, how about you? nope didn't think so. But anyway it almost brings a tear to my eye, it's sort of the end to an era (not sure if that's the right spelling?) anyway to sign the N64 off, i'm gonna do a review of Mario Party 3, i've already been playing it a bit this week, but tonight is gonna be the real test to see if it really is any good.
Yup tonight ladies and gentleman i'm going to be George Michae.....ahhh sorry got a bit carried away there. Anyway tonight the real test for Mario Party comes, i'm going down the pub this afternoon for pretty much the whole afternoon with my mates, then in the evening they're coming back to my house (not for coffee you dirty git) too play some N64 games, by that stage me thinks we should be kinda smashed and this is the real test for Mario Party games, is it fun when you're drunk? or is it just plain pile of old poo? would I prefer to be playing Wrestling? can i really be assed to play a board game?why the hell am I asking all these questions?
Anyway join me later, if i'm still standing up and in a fit state to type, for my Mario Party review (I bet no one reads it but hell i'm gonna have fun attempting to type it).

You should read other posts before going ahead with your own mate!!

MARIO PARTY 3 THE DRUNK REVIEW: DIRECTORS CUT
Mario party 3 warra game, the multiplayer rocks, get some alcohol get some friends, make some friends if you need to and get this game you will not be dissapointed.
There you go that's a brief summary of my review.
lol @ tipsy-Tilta!!!
This review was brought to you with the help of Fosters, Stella Artois, Smirnoff Vodka, Redbull, Red Square, WKD, Jack Daniels, Sex on the Beach (it’s a cocktail) and last but certainly not least coke.
Well what an interesting day I have had, as promised I’m going to attempt to write a decent review, to be honest the alcohol is starting to wear off, probably cause I’ve been seeing double for most of the day. I’m sorry if there’s any punctuation missing or spalling (god me so funny) mistakes, I really am not in the mood to practice good English.
Anyway on with the review, if I start to babble or get off the subject of the game, just hit me in the side of the head, I apologise if this all comes out as gibberish.
Well I really don’t know where to start, so I will just start at the start and then at the end (anyone remember the Bart Man?). Anyway the day has finally arrived the N64’s last "real" game(I know power poof girls is coming out but I don't care) has finally been released *wipes a tear away from his eye*. Is it good is it bad is it downright pap, well I got three words for you Hell No, umm make that two words. No words can describe how fun this game is; well actually they can try really fun, damn good fun and a lot of fun. Anyway I will now tell you about the basics of the game play (bare with me this may take some time).
GAMEPLAY:
Basically as I’m sure most of you know Mario Party is a board game, BORING I hear you all yell, but it’s so much more than a board game, it’s one of the maddest most frantic most ummm what’s the word? Ummm zany that’s it zany Multiplayer experiences you will find on any system. Basically the main game is a board game BORING I hear you all say again. The main idea of the game is too collect Stars, to do this you have to collect 20 coins and then get to a certain place on the board to buy them. BORING I hear you all say once more (god I need to see a doctor about the voices in my head). Now here’s where the fun starts, to win these coins to buy the stars you have to travel round the board taking part in mini games which are randomly selected by the umm…..the ummm person in the cartridge (I know that made no sense didn’t I say I was drunk?). These can range from anything like a Tetris style puzzle game to a Rocket pumping competition (hehe). Sounds simple doesn’t it? Sounds like another cute fwuffy load of nancy boy pants from Nintendo doesn’t it? Well hell no it’s not it’s a damn good fun game, a warning for all of you so called “mature” PS2 owners, this is the sort of game you all love to hate.
MINI GAMES:
Anyway now I will tell you about the different kinds of mini games, aren’t you all lucky. There are 5 main types of mini games these are as follows.
4 Player: This is the main type of mini game you will find yourself playing, as you can tell by the name it’s an all against all scrapathon, practically all of these games rule and you will want to come back and play them plenty of times. Only real problem with these is the memory games, now I’m sure if you weren’t under the influence of stupid amounts of alcoholic beverages then these games would be great, but I’m sorry as soon as these memory games came round it was a case of, oh toilet break and let the game play to itself. Anyway here’s some examples
SNOWBALL SUMMIT: One of my favourite mini games, it’s always a Brucey bonus when this one is selected, a mad competition to try and knock your opponent off a mountain with giant snowballs, sounds simple but you try playing this after a few pints and not laughing.
ACES ARE HIGH: Another instant classic, jump into a plane and try and blow your friends up in a 4 way dogfight, only problem with this is it only goes on for a minute, but it certainly makes you look forward to the next battle. RATATATATATATATATATAT
3 VS 1: Does what it says on the tin, 3 vs 1 these are actually really good, I found them a right royal pain in the butt on Mario Party 2, but somehow they’ve improved them a lot, there’s a few ones which are a bit on the cack side but the majority of them are damn good fun. One of my favourites is
RIDICULOUS RELAY: A madcap (what? I’m aloud to use childish language like that, it’s a Nintendo game) relay race as you may have guessed from the title. The loan player has to ride a Hand glider to the end of the course, whilst dodging bullet bills and other annoying objects, whilst the other three do a relay race in three different vehicles. Damn good button bashing fun, damn funny.
2 VS 2: You’re never going to guess what, but these are 2players versus 2 player mini games, wow I bet you didn’t see that one coming. Mainly good fun, some are stupidly difficult, one of my favourites is
EATSA PIZZA: As you may have guessed you have to eat a pizza, you do this by basically button bashing (hehe) and the team who’s eaten the most by the time the clocks run down, surprisingly wins. Simple and crap as it may sound it’s actually damn good fun.
Battle mini games: Now these are where the big coins lie, they’re exactly like the 4 player mini games but in these you can win anything up to 200 coins, WOW. My favourite would probably be
MERRY GO CHOMP: This one is just a case of having good luck, you basically choose a colour on the spinny wheel thingy, one person to each colour, then the wheel spins and whoever’s colour stops in front of Chomp (weird circular dog thing) gets munched on and is out of the game, last one standing wins.
Duel mini games: Basically one on one games in which you choose how many coins you want to battle for, and the winner steals that amount of coins off whoever he’s playing against. Damn good fun these are as well, much better than the duel games featured in MP2. My favourite would be
MOTOR ROOTER: A sort of F Zero style race to the end of a tunnel, the one who hits the most speed up arrow things to get the end wins. Damn good fun, gives you a bit of a headache after a while but good fun none the less.
GRAPHICS
There you have it that’s the basics of mini games explained, you can wake up now. What to talk about next I would tell you about the boards but there’s not much to say about them, just different themes ranging from Snowy Icy Board to Fiery lava board, nothing amazingly original but they all do their job well. Right onto the graphics then, all very nice, the usual bright Nintendo colour scheme, with fluffy cute things and Rocks with faces on, the graphical style is much the same as recent release Mario Paper. A lot of the background are in the same 2D style, which all looks very nice, the only problem I have with them is that the characters for some reason look rather blurred compared to the backgrounds, but it doesn’t really get in the way of the game play so no major problems.
SOUNDS
Nothing to write home about, the usually happy plinky tunes of pretty much any Mario game ever invented. Of course you’ve got all the characters with their at most 5 lines of speech ranging from “oh no I lost” to “ima’ da best”. As with most Mario games it all suits so it’s all good.
SINGLE PLAYER
Pants nuff said, not what you buy the game for it will last you maybe a few days, but then you will loose all interest in it, you spend most the time watching the computer players take their turns than actually interacting with the game, and there’s no way you can forgive the computer when it suddenly finds a secret star or collects hundreds of coins, this games all about luck and when the computer players get luck you can’t help but think they’re cheating. If you don’t have any friends don’t bother with it, then again it’s so damn good you probably would be advised to go and get three random people off the street to play it with you, just remember I never told you to do if it all goes wrong though.
MULTIPLAYER: This is what we’re talking about, one of the best if not the best multiplayer games on the system, this will last you for ages and ages because to this be this good it takes ummm Nintendo. Sober, drunk, hairy, smelly whatever frame of mind you’re in this game kicks nuff backside. Though I seriously recommend you get some drinks in (coke if you’re under 18) get 3 friends round and you will have hours of fun, if you can’t get 3 friends round or you haven’t got 3 friends then they have also added an extra mode to this version of Mario Party called Duel Map, I’m not sure how it works because I haven’t tried it out yet, but it’s 2 player and judging by the rest of the game I’m sure it’s damn good fun.
OVERALL: Single player *clueless style* don’t even go there, it will last you at the most a few days it really is pants. Where as the Multiplayer, will last you AGES, get it in now, if you like Multiplayer games and you don’t find Mario and all his friends annoying then I suggest you run off and get yourself a copy right. With Christmas coming up this could be the perfect remedy to save your Christmas day, there’s no need to have boring monotonous conversations with your relatives, just get out you’re N64 and play Mario Party, it won’t offend your Granny and it really is a whole lot of fun.
