Mario Party is still alive and kicking after nine main entries and a handful of offshoots. Regrettably, it’s now accompanied by increasingly vocal disappointment. Many feel the mini-game quality has degenerated and that the gameplay has become far too focused on chance rather than ability. For those who feel this way, Mario Party 2 might be your best shot. Sure, luck is as present as ever (most irksomely in the single player), but its role is downplayed in multiplayer and most of the mini-games are high-quality.
