Roll the die (or use cards that function as dice), play mini-games for bigger dice (or better cards), get to the end, the end. Normally I’d find myself praising this level of candor, but it’s almost a little too direct.
The objectives on the boards are as simple as they’ve ever been, mostly involving reaching the end first (like an actual board game) with a throwback to Mario Party 9 thrown in where the player aims to collect the most mini-stars. It also simplifies the gameplay by removing countless tangential diversions but in the process dampens some of the charm. In some ways Island Tour delivers in areas where other titles in the series have fallen short. Does Mario Party: Island Tour live up to the higher standards set by its most recent predecessors? It’s a question that I don’t have a concise answer for. Nd Cube is the company responsible for the marvelous Mario Party 9and I was expecting another swath of greatness with Island Tour.
Alright, I’ll be the first to admit that I probably enjoy the Mario Party series a little more than I should at 28, and I’ve been eagerly awaiting this release ever since I first heard of it sometime back in the summer.
