So obviously, fans feared the worse for the next instalment. Thankfully though, the developer manages to master the Wii Remotes idiosyncrasies and delivers a set of mini-games that are mechanically sound and genuinely very fun. These games live and die by their mini games and gameplay value, so this was a triumph for the developer and a return to form for the series. Then to mix things up, the game also adds cooperative boss stages where you will have to work together with your competitors to succeed.
This was a welcome change, whereas the linear map progression was perhaps a misstep. The developers have managed to take away all the nuance and strategy from past iterations, essentially making this a series of mini-games and little else. The board game format has always been this games core gimmick and to toss it aside was a bold move to say the least. Mario Party 9 also makes big improvements to the overall aesthetic from the previous game in the series.
Wii games have always had a reputation as looking rather rough around the edges. However, through using assets from Super Mario Galaxy 2 and generally just polishing up the title, the ninth outing really looks the part. Textures are more refined; animations are slick and there is less of that fragmented blur effect that Wii games are synonymous with.
One tiresome feature of past Mario Party game was that no what, two and three player games would have AI players thrown into the mix to make up the numbers. Well, that is finally a thing of the past as this game finally lets you play smaller games with just your pals. The games are scaled based on your party size and it allows for a much more intimate experience. Overall, Mario Party 9 does a great job of fixing the issues of its predecessor, while still adding some new features that add to the overall experience.
The graphical enhancements, fun mini-games and scaled games for smaller parties are all great changes but the issue is that there is only so much you can do.
So, what we are saying is, this game is the best version of that we could have hoped for. However, as a series, Mario Party is a tired and worn-out machine that has been pushed to its limit.
So, this novel addition to the roster is about as good as one could have expected. And we're back to the arguable king of party games with a ninth entry - Mario Party 9! However, after so many years of remarkably average offerings, the series has lost its allure in being the go-to game to get your friends involved.
As one of the last games to make a stand on the Wii, platform - maybe it will try to capture some hearts and minds again? Mario Party 9 takes on the same themes and mini-games as its predecessor on the same hardware. While it felt the former didn't exploit the Wii remote's capabilities, the ninth installment tightens up over some more accessible and fun mini-games.
