Editorial Review:
Amazon.co.uk Review: You never see a Mario Party game mentioned at the end of year award ceremonies. Nor do they ever seem to attain particularly high acclaim. Yet the clue here’s in the title: this is the sixth time Mario and chums have brought their unique blend of party gaming to a Nintendo console, and they just keep getting better and better.
It’s best to think of Mario Party 6 as a computer-based board game. You sort-of-roll a dice, you move a number of spaces, and then you land on a square which could trigger an action, give you coins or take some away. Then, at the end of each round, the four players--and you can mix in human and computer-controlled opponents--join up for a mini-game to play for more coins.
These mini-games can see everybody playing for themselves, or jumping into even or unevenly matched teams. There are dozens upon dozens to work through, each with simple rules yet they still manage to bring out most people’s competitive edge. A new initiative for this sixth game is a bundled microphone that makes some of the games voice controlled. It’s not a world-altering addition, more a neat evolution of an already enjoyable concept.
And that last sentence ably sums up Mario Party 6. It’s great fun, especially with friends around, and there are enough game boards, mini-games and diverse in-game characters to make the game entire last for some time. There is an enjoyable single-player story mode too, which adds to the fun.
Thus, whilst Mario Party 6 will, as with its predecessors, escape the fanfare and the awards, it’ll still rightly take its place as one of the most enjoyable, family-friendly games on the Game Cube to date. And given the amount crammed into it, it represents terrific value for money. Roll on number seven…--Simon Brew

This is a very good game! I've played all Mario party games before as my brother has owned every one, but this one to me is one of the best. The microphone idea is great and it provides more ideas of games and more fun! The only thing is which I do agree on, is that the microphone might not pick your accent properly when you speak with certain words, as I found out, so you got to say certain words clearly as you might lose a game or two. But I think this mario party game is good and deserves the 5 stars.

This game far beats Mario Party 4&5 just for the reason of the microphone minigames, especially the one where you sit in a giant robot and try to blow everyone else up by saying into the microphone: 'drop bombs' 'bullet bill' 'goomba' etc. The only downside is that there are not enough of the microphone minigames! Only 5 out of the 60-80! But still a very good game.

This is the best Mario Party game released...that is certain. Because I play a lot of computer games, I used to thrash my regular Mario Party buddies at almost all the mini-games, because they generally required only a handful of pad skills and were not that varied. However, Mario Party 6 is a much more balanced game and even my mother managed to win the mini-game star (this really is a miracle on the record of the previous games).
The only issue we have is the microphone. Don't get me wrong, we LOVE the idea of the microphone, and the games are great when they work. However, it is quite clear this microphone was programmed with an american accent for the english-speaking market. Before, there was no way to cheat in a Mario Party ... Read More:

Dont get me wrong its a great game but things have started to go downhill a bit recently! If i were u i'd spend the cash on buying mario party 4 or if u already have it then buy power tennis!!!
One improvement is the speeded up gameplay between turns. But the microphone is really tacky and looks like a vibrator!
