Pros: characters, boards, games, non-violent
Cons: repetitive
The bottom line: I recommend this game because its easy and fun.
I was not one of the many who grew up playing video games, so when I was recently introduced to the Game Cube system and playing video games the first game taught to me was Mario Party 6.

This is a wonderful game to start learning on because they are very easy games, but challenging if you have no idea what you are doing. Its a fun series of games and boards you play on with vast variations of how you can play. You can have up to four players or you can just play the CPU to beef up on your skills.

The characters and storyline for the MP6 game are cute and fun to play with. You may feel like a child while playing this, but its great fun for you and pals if you are just learning how to use a controller or are completely new to the world of video game systems and the joy they give. Not only that but this game is great for taking out your frustrations on cute characters for no reason. ;D

I recommend this game for anyone who is just learning or children whose parents worry about them playing violent games. Its a fun, exciting game and I think everyone would enjoy it. I know I do.

For more games like this you should check out the entire Mario Party line-up.
