Mario and his friends are back for yet another exciting 4-player game. Like its predecessors, Mario Party 4 plays like a board game, where 4 players can participate at once and play a huge variety of mini games, which are simple yet surprisingly fun and addictive. These mini games range from various races of sorts, to basketball, to arts and crafts type games, to surviving falling pages in a giant book. Reports say that the game boards are much larger and complex, where players will need to find growth and shrink mushrooms to access certain parts of the boards. If you liked the previous Mario Parties, or if you have 2-3 friends, then put this game on your get list, or at least rent it. It's scheduled to be released on October 21, 2002.
