With gimmicky game modes and a lack of challenge, its dump the partys all but over.

Here is our review of Mario Party 10.

But do these additions manage to breathe new life into this aging series?

Or is it finally time to leave this board game on the shelf in place of something more fun?

Unfortunately forMario Party 10, one of its main attractions, Bowser Party, falls flat on its face.

Players roll the dice in order and have a go at get as far away from Bowser as possible.

Bowser then rolls several dice at once and tries to stop them.

This is also where the games collection of mini-games is really allowed to shine.

Theres even a subtle nod to one of the greatestMario Partymini-games of all time, Bumper Balls.

Amiibo Party is the closest thatMario Party 10ever gets to the series glory days of old.

Sadly, all of these little extras just never seem like enough.

And I think thats okay now.

Besides a handful of genuinely fun and interesting mini-games, everything else feels incredibly deflated.
