The Mario Party series generally received good reviews.
" Mario Party is actually the perfect party game for in between, if just have a few friends there. It offers plenty of fun for a long time and the mini games are nicely varied, provided one does not yet know all the ins and outs. Nevertheless, there is something you can chalk up the game negatively: as much fun making the mini-games too, they tempt the only way to drive the N64 controller to its limits. [ ... ] Aside from this shortcoming - [ ... ] - Mario Party is one of the best multiplayer games that Nintendo has to offer - also alone makes it a lot of fun, but in the end is the "party" in Mario Party yes not "alone". "
