This is an OKAY MP game. There are better ones... ( the N64 ones ) But anyways, this is the first Cube game I ever got, I actually got it before I got my Cube. It was a very fun game, it added a lot of stuff never before seen in the series, but they added so much, it kinda took out a bit of the fun with it. There are fun maps, more characters to play with, more minigames ( not neccesarily better ) and of course, sharper graphics. I still reccomend the N64 mario partys, but this is still a party game you should not pass up.
