Mario party ds impressions

Im running very low on time today so ill have to make this post shorter than usual.

Today my youngish cousins (11 and 8 years of age) came to visit us and they both have a nintendo ds and one of them just bought mario party ds so we played alot of multiplayer. I am just giving my mulyiplayer impressions after a hour or two playing his copy.

First, if you have a ds and so do your friends I HIGHLY recommend picking this one up. With download play you can play four player off of one game although we only did 3 player with 1 COM. Most of the minigames are very fun and this is a very wide variety. Anything you can do in multicard you can do in single-card mode. The graphics arent revolutionary but they are VERY good for the ds. There is a total of 74 minigames which is an incredible amount for the ds. The controls are very good most of the time. There were 2 of the games that I played that were my favorites but remember i didnt get to play all of the games.

1. Its called soap surfers or something like that. it a free-for-all game in which everyone is in a sink surfing on a bar of soap and you are trying to knock each other out by slamming each other out or the sink.

2. Its called camera shy. You are in a type of crop circle and you all have a camera. The idea is to get a pic of the other 3 people without them geting a picture of you. This turns into a fun hide and seek type game. Once you take a picture you have to wait a couple of seconds for the camera to recharge. The characters jump and do funny things when you take the pictures and at the end you get to see the winners pictures which is suprisingly funny.

Also if you put the COMs on expert level in this game they are actually hard to beat which is good.

My recommendation, if you have friends or relatives with ds's and/or like mario party type games i highly suggets picking this one up.
