Title: Mario Party 4 or Super Monkey Ball 2???
Post by: shadow sythe on June 03, 2003, 08:01:05 PM: hey, i'm trying to choose between the games mario party 4 or super monkey ball 2. none of my my friends have either of them, but i hired out mp:4 on the weekend and was quite impressed. at the shop i had a 10-minute go on smb:2, and thought it was average, but i havn't played long enough to make a final judgement. mp4 costs more than smb2 but i have enough money for it. what do you think (any other good names of multiplayer games would be good,too)???????

Post by: NintendoKiD on June 03, 2003, 09:16:40 PM: I'd go with Monkey Ball. I'm not a fan of games like that but Monkey Ball was fun. I also do not like any of the Mario Party games, but thats just me.

Post by: Scyth3r on June 03, 2003, 09:31:40 PM: I have both.

Mario Party 4 is really only worth it if do a lot of 4 player games. Otherwise, it's just plain boring... computer competition is just not fun at all. The mini-games are just great though, especially the 2v2 for me.

Super Monkey Ball 2 I find to be much more fun if you have LESS than 4 players. But the games I dunno... theres really not much of a variety or the randomness involved. It's not setup as a party game very well as you pretty much have to choose which mini-game you want to play always and exit completely to play a different mini-game.

I still give the edge to Mario Party 4 though. I really HATE having to unlock essentially half of the entire Monkey Ball 2 games (and believe me it takes a LONG time because some of the levels are just plain out absurd). It's even worse because single player is incredibly boring... theres only so much rolling you can do... but you stil lmust play if you want to unlock.

Definitely.
It's cute and stuff like Mario, but it has more attitude.

Post by: Mingesium on June 07, 2003, 08:49:44 PM: I'd go with Super Monkey Ball 2. It looks like Mario Party 4 will be a player's choice title this fall and you can pick it up then for $30.

Post by: Termin8Anakin on June 07, 2003, 09:52:28 PM: If you're in Australia, and thinking about SMB2 or MP4, get the party pack, which as a controller, MP4, and 6 months subscription to Aussie CUBE magazine for the unbelievably low price of $29.95. That's less than a bloody controller normally!
I'm serious!
Get that, then sell MP4 for a decent price.

Post by: Artimus on June 08, 2003, 07:55:13 AM: I'd go with SMB2. Mario Party 5 is coming out eventually. Plus, SMB is one of the best multiplayer gaems ever!
