Mario Party 6
Description official descriptions
This new Mario Party has a twist. Along with the four-player party action that is expected with the board game like series, a new addition to the Mario Party team is the microphone. New mini-games included are now voice-activated, and using the microphone, you can command characters and play games like never before.
Brighton (the sun) and Twila (the moon) constantly argue with each other over who is better. The debate creates a change in conditions during play, where it may be daytime at one point but suddenly change to nighttime. Depending on the time of day, mini-games will change, other characters will appear, and the board will modify in shape.
The same four-player action is on-board with a ton of new and updated mini-games to play either during the party or by itself when unlocked. You can also play solo with the computer filling in the gaps. Along with collecting stars, there are also other objectives depending on the game board you choose, from which there are six varying types to choose.

The Good
Mario Party 6 is a very good game. Not nearly as great as older instalments, but none-the-less, good.
The story, at the point of a sixth game, is clearly stale and has a feel of been-there-done-that. This is no exception. The story is pretty cheesy and stupid. Why can't it just be Mario and friends having a party anymore?
The gameplay is, like most of the others, fun and "exciting" in a sense. Basically, you just do what you've always done: party! And... that's all I really have to say about that.
The frame-rate is flawless. But what is to be expected from a GameCube game? It always seems that Nintendo knows how to get around those damned frame rate issues. Suck it, Sony >:D ...just kidding. The graphics are also nice. They definitely aren't one of the best on the system (looks at SSBM), but, regardless, they are good.
I don't like the music too much. I don't know. It's to... uhhhh... cheery I guess.
The Bad
Some of the mini-games are freakin' stupid. Also, why can't you play a DK any more? It can also get kind of boring sometimes. Despite these issues, I have few complaints.
The Bottom Line
Overall, if you liked the other 5, you're sure to like this one. Sure, it isn't the best around, but it still has it's moments.
