Mario Party DS review at Portable Video Gamer.
"Eight years and ten games after its creation, the Mario Party series hits the Nintendo DS. The franchise had been on a downhill slide in quality for a while. Mario Party 8 for the Nintendo Wii started a decent shift toward better gameplay, and thankfully the DS version does so as well. We have seen quite the amount of mini-game packages for the system, but as far as board games go Mario Party is the brand of choice, and its DS installment could very well be one of the best of the series."
