I go to a certain group on Tuesdays. Every once in a while, we get to play a video game. Once, we got to play Mario Party 4. Although I generally perfer Sonic to Mario, Mario Party 4 really rocks! It's loaded with cooperative competition, lots of laughs, and just plain fun. You don't really get upset when you're behind - you just laugh and rejoice with friends! In some activities, you join up with friends and gang up againt someone else. In others, it's one on one! Most of the games are entertaining, however the swimming game is annoying (I could never get it to work right!) and the thing where one guy runs around with a candle and everyone else tries to spray it with a water gun is hard - strangely enough, it's hard for the majority, not the single candle holder! However, most of the games are very fun. Overall, VERY good game full of fun & laughs. Signed, StoryMaker. "Gotta trust the kid's review!
