Mario Party DS preview at Gamespy.

"Mario Party is one of those series that has the magic power to appeal to almost everybody, from casual gamers to hardcore Nintendo fans. New installments in the series are always welcomed... unless they end up as half-baked as Mario Party Advance. Fortunately, Nintendo has decided to give the series a second chance on handhelds and Mario Party DS should grant players on the go all the fun they have been waiting for for over two years. With an equal balance between the single- and multiplayer modes and a massive usage of the DS capabilities, this game could be a star during the holiday season."
