Editorial Review
Every good game deserves a sequel, and the addictive, quirky Mario Party 2 certainly fills the bill. This multiplayer party title combines the gameplay of a traditional dice-based board game with several brief action-game segments, including updated versions of 20 of the best offerings from the original Mario Party. There are also 44 entirely new mini-game challenges that pit players against each other as they compete to collect the most stars. Owners of the original Mario Party will be comfortable with this game from the get-go. Each player rolls a virtual die to advance through various board games, including pirate land, western land, space land, mystery land, and horror land. Several hidden adventure boards can be unlocked as players advance through the game. Each player aims to gain the most stars and become a superstar at the end of the game. Various mini-game challenges and booby traps await gamers as they land on some strategically placed spaces on the board. While Mario Party 2 can be played as a single-player game (against three computer opponents), this title really shines in social situations. This is the perfect game to pull out at parties--assuming you have a few extra controllers in the house. --Brett Atwood Pros: - Perfect party game (up to 4 players can play simultaneously)
- High replay value
Cons: - Solo play suffers
- Multiplayer games can take a long time to complete

Mario Party 2 Review October 3, 2008
Its a fun CLASSIC N64 video Games... really fun to play with 2 or 3 more friends! Easy 4 all to understand.
 GOOD TIMES WITH THE MARIO GANG 9.25 OUT OF 10 December 2, 2007
I can honestly say that this game is better than Mario Party 3, because the sequels just don't have the same level fun as the second iteration. Playing with a friend with this game never ever gets old(that's why I like retro Nintendo games). The mini-games are still great to play and are very entertaining and hilarious at times, the graphics look nice still, the characters are still awesome, the environments are still cool, the challenges are still fun, and it's still satisfying to win the cup. I'm very sad to see the current state of the franchise and how it's not settling with critics, it's very shameful that Nintendo seems to be doing nothing to help save this franchise, and seem more focused on selling Wiis than having quality games.

My Party needs are fulfilled April 4, 2005

After playing and completing Mario Party I needed another game to fulfil my party needs. And this was probally the best thing that I've needed ever since food. Mario Party 2 is just like the first one but with new boards, new mini-games and now there are item shops! The boards are fantastic and are very detailed, so here are the new boards to give you an idea:
Pirate Land: set on 3 islands (always fun)
Western Land: the train is for transportation (great in multiplayer)
Space Land: trigger happy Bowser (big)
Mystery Land: hard to get around (it's fun to curse your enemies)
Horror Land: day and night cycle (my personal favorite)
And there is one more secret board! But I'm not telling what it is! So if youve played the first party then this is your next step and if you haven't played the first one...well it isn't to late to start to play the series.
Another great party! August 24, 2004

Mario Party 2 is even better than the first. Like the first, you pick a character (no new ones...) and move along the boards collecting stars. At the end of each turn, you play a minigame. There are 4 Player Minigames, 2 vs. 2 Minigames, and 1 vs. 3 Minigames. This time, there are no control stick twisting games (thank goodness!). Now you can buy items as you pass by the item shop on the board. There are a bunch of new mini-games, but some old ones. The story is that Mario and his friends are making a theme park, but they are arguing about who to name it after. So Toad suggests to play Mario Party to see who is the Superstar. Overall- a great game. I recommend it!
