I've played three, I didn't like it. I remember playing either 5, or 6, but, I can't recall. Too many sequels to remember, heh.

I truly enjoyed the first one back in the N64 days, I remember playing it throughout the Christmas holiday and even more so whenever I had free time. The idea isn't relatively new, the last board game I played on a console was Monopoly on the original NES but add Mario and the mushroom kingdom to the mix and you got yourself a winner. After that I followed on and continued with MP2 and this game was brutal. I remember during the release there were so many complaints that Nintendo issued gloves just for MP2's greuling mini-games, mainly the "tug o' war" mini-game. While I have MP6 as part of my GC library, it was fun up until all stars and extras were completed. I do wonder what the Revolution will introduce to the series, hopefully it'll revitalize MP and give us something new to look forward to.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
