Do not buy this. I am going right out and saying it. Mabye if you really want to, rent it. the mini games are fun, and are the only redeeming value, every other time you will be bored or frustrated. the graphics are neat, with the cell shading techniques. Also, the load times are not so bad, but every time you do something else besides play the board game, you undergo 2 long load times.(eg, you land on a mini game, it loads, you play it, it loads again) all in all, i expected more in a mario party spin-offp.s- i do not even own a N64 so dont think i am biased to it
