I love this game because i played this game in my childhood and its my favorite game of all time! The maps,the minigames and the Bowser tower is so beautyful️11/10️️️️

un gioco niente male che per quanto non offra chissà quale intrattenimento lo offre comunque con una longevità molto vasta. 7.4/!0

This game was such a letdown for me, I was expecting more from this game like more traditional board rules and more memorable minigames among other things instead of what we ended up with. At least this game is fun in places and is also playable compared to certain other Mario games (cough Mario Pinball Land).

By far, one of the most generic Mario Party games I’ve ever played in my life. All the 3DS Mario Parties are so forgettable and drab that I have a hard time recollecting any sort of memory of playing this. Thankfully, there’s more than 1 board compared to The Top 100, but these boards for some reason all have different rules. What’s the point of that? Why not have a bunch of boards that can all utilize these different play styles. Since you still move around in a linear style, there’s still no strategy on the board, so it makes the whole game very slow and monotonous. On one board, the boss is literally just rolling a dice to punch a Whomp until its health meter is gone. Underwhelming is the best definition for Island Tour.

I love this Game. Here they tried something new and it makes so much fun and the best are the Minigames. In my Opinion there is Not a Single minigame which is Bad and the Boards are all unique. I would recommend this Game.

my sigmas mp island tour slander gota go so is a rhyme to show this is a absolulety goated game you can't put the blame on the crane just because it's not the same you can't go and say it's lame now the ohio mario sigma skibiti toads have declared that mpislandtour is goated same with mp starush not top 100 though that game is actual dodo ma sigmas

the boards are all unique, they all have different gimmicks, the minigames are interesting, plus this game looks not too bad for a 3DS, i fell like the reason people hate this game is cuz of nostalgia

If you don't have friends to play with, don't bother getting this game. It's very slow and can be pretty boring if you're just playing against CPUs.

One of the best handeld Mario Party game. I like the diversity of board games.

Frankly at this current point in time, it just seems like the Mario Party series is doomed to always feature gimmicks and modes that either don't work for it or are extremely polarizing. Thankfully Mario Party: Island Tour has been the closest we've gotten to good old fashioned Mario Party, but that doesn't really mean much when it still falls on it's face. The main party mode consistent of a few boards that are race to the finish progression boards, and while I understand the excitement of progression, the format doesn't really work well when games can end a lot sooner than usual. The single player mode is perhaps the best addition of this game, providing a rather weak story and reason to play all the mini-games, but at the least it feels rewarding and even has some neat mini-game bosses to deal with. Sadly streetpass mini-games were kinda moot at this point as the majority of people have their streetpass spots filled and likely never considered to use this feature over say Bravely Default. Largely this game just feels like half ass attempt at making Mario Party on the go without understanding that we already have that in the form of the DS version. If this was released earlier in the 3DS's life it might have gotten some fans, but as it is it's just overshadowed by so many other Mario parties before it that once the novelty of it wears off, it's not worth picking up ever again.

Bland,soulless and luck-based. No strategy whatsoever.

My least favorite Mario party game. How did they mess up the story so bad? Shocking the franchise recovered from this. Gameplay is just straight up weird and might be even worse than the car. In my opinion this one is most certainly worth a skip

This game relies far too much on Luck in Party Mode and Minigame Mode. You'll never be able to use your strategic skills you learnt throughout the series in order to win a board, because every single moment in Party Mode (especially) relies on rolling a certain number (example: a 6 and you get a 1) that they know very well you will 85% won't roll. You can win every minigame, and end up in 4th because of stupid luck.

Island tour is indeed a game. there's nothing here that I would say really blew me away, neither is there anything I found offensively bad. the mini games are fine, the other game modes are fine, everything is fine. I feel like the spaceship game mode that I forgot the name of could have been developed better and had a better map, but eh, it's a perfectly OK game.

Behind Mario Kart Tour, this game is the worst Mario game on Metacritic and for good reason. Every single board in this game ****. After Mario Party 9, a great game, they took the boards that worked wonders because of the party car, and took away the party car. Bold move, taking something that worked and removed it's working functions, well done. Hmm. The worst board in this game is Banzai Bill's something Mountain, where all you do is decide whether to go into a hole where you can't progress, or go into the usual path, where you have a risk of being sent all the way back to the beginning. It may seem like fun luck, but really it's extremely annoying and just straight up unfun to play. The rest of the boards are just rolling a dice continuously until you reach the end whilst you see Mario and friends walking around. You might as well just roll a dice in real life around 30 times and after every 4 rolls you can walk outside and shoot a basketball in a hoop, then you've experienced Mario Party: Island Tour.

The single player modes **** a lot, the minigames are fun, especially when you play with some friends but you'll need 2 or more 3ds which **** because is paying a lot more for a experience that can be enjoy with a single Wii and 2 controls. Buy it only if you have a friend with a 3ds or if you like the crazy boards

[RU] Буду краток. Я в такие игры часто играю один и им часто удаётся принести удовольствие. Этой части тоже это более менее удалось, но в ней мало режимов, да и с друзьями я в неё не играл, поскольку у каждого должна быть 3дс (а все мы знаем, что не у каждого она есть)

This series of games never ceases to delight with new parts of this game, the game is as always at the highest level. I love this series of games.

I really love this mario party game, the 3d effect is ridiculously good, the minigames are very creative. The menu music is way too much appealing for my ears to listen. They’re are alot of game boards which is nice. I also like how it literally used all of the 3ds’s capabilities like the ar cards, gyro controls etc.. The character selection is decent and the collectables are cute. Overrated a solid mario party experience

This was like Mario Party 9, but there was more problems. Minigames started to become less fun and the competition part is more enjoyable, as no one is riding a cart this time. The main problem is randomization. Even if you don’t have luck or skill, there’s still a good chance that you could win. Also the lack of collecting stars and other fun concepts made the game less fun.

Mario Party Island Tour has good minigame, but not so interesting boards. Bowsers Tower is okay, but not perfect. The game makes for a few hours fun, but then it will be boring.

An ok Mario Party game in my opnion. Out of the 7 islands, only 3 of them are not driven by luck most of the time. They all have unique features, but some of the boards are just not that good.

[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

Mario Party Island Tour is certainly one of the games in the saga that I like most, as the board games are interesting and original, unfortunately there is a catch ... Indeed, the game suffers from a lifespan more or less abonimable, with mini-games and game modes not really maddening, the roster passes for the first opus 3ds. But all the same, with the diversity of the boards, this mode offers us to rediscover the board games of all Mario Parties over a weak lifespan. A real acceptable best-of much better than The Top 100.

Typical Mario Party Island Tour really isn’t anything special, But MY GOD The Choicest Voice, That miningame is nothing short of legendary.

Some mini-games are still fun. But i absolutely don't understand why they changed a great concept which was so successfully for nothing more than rubbish...

Mario Party: Island Tour can be a fun game for any casual gamer, or to screw around with friends. But if you're playing by yourself, it can start to feel tedious. The modes on the menu include Party, where you play across seven different boards. Minigames, where you play whatever minigame you want. Bowser's Tower, the sort-of story mode of the game where you have to fight Bowser's underlings in minigames to get to the top of the tower. Collectables, where you can purchase bubbles of characters and stuff which are necessary to 100% the game. And finally, there's StreetPass Minigames, where you go head to head with the people you've seen in the real world. The Bowser's Tower mode can be beaten in about an hour, but you get the option to play it again. Why? And collectables are even worse. You have to play every mode, minigame, and board if you want 100%. AND for one of the boards, you need at least three human players. That means that you need two friends who have 3DS's which I don't because they're all too busy playing Fortnite. But even if you forget all the nitpicks and turn your brain off for a while, there's still a fun game to be found in here. So I give this game a 6/10 for monotonous collecting and playing for 100% but still having that Mario Party charm.

Все Mario party скучные так как предназначены для четверых человек. Но если собрать друзей то врятли станет весело. Когда четыре человека сидят и играют в игру комментируя и изредка разговаривая- это не сильно весело

It's good but forgettable. I'm happy the kart is gone but not enough characters and the tower thing is just minigames. the boards however are just great intresting gimmicks and just cool looking honestly. It might be fun to unlock the characters and playing with friends is a lot of fun. Alone it's pretty dull

The game is frustrating and the mini games are ok but I wouldn't play this game again

I didn't know this but I guess there was a time where I almost thought this game was worth the money because I had this game rated at a nine. No, it doesn't even deserve a 1. It deserves nothing because it feels like they just slapped mario party on the front of some garbage new game. I can't believe they ruined the series like this and I can assure anyone that I would never play this again or get any of the new mario parties. They ruined this

This game is boring and relies on too much luck, the boards are too short and the Rocket one you can win in like 3-4 turns. The minigames aren't very fun and the extras are the only good thing about this game. The concept is actually a good idea but the way it was executed was done poorly.

Some of the minigames are good but I found the boards to be awful, the story is bland, and its not memorable. The graphics are okay but they aren't amazing.

I love Mario Party, but this game is terrible. The boards are uninteresting, most of the mini games aren't fun, especially the numerous chance mini games, honestly everything about this game seems lazy, and I'm not a Mario Party hater, I loved most of the first 8 Mario Party games, but since Mario Party 9 for the wii the franchise has been going downhill.

Whenever I play Mario Party: Island Tour I don't get that competitive feeling that I get when I play games such as Mario Party 8 and the boards are quite short and some only last for 10-15 minutes. There is also a mode called Bowser's Tower where he absorbs all the power of Party Island and creates bubble clones that you have to fight to get to the top of the tower. This could have been made better by perhaps having the inability to play a Peach because she has been captured by Bowser and you can play as her when she has been saved. You can unlock Bowser Jr. when you complete the tower but his voice is so high-pitched and whiny that it's, sometimes, unbearable. In Island Tour, you have to travel as many spaces as possible to reach the goal, however, there is one board where at the end you will meet Bowser and will have to travel as little as possible and I think that this is quite unique and enjoyable. During Bowser's Tower, there are also boss fights including a goomba tower, chain chomp, snowman and Dry Bowser and these battles are quite enjoyable. As a whole, I'm not sure where I stand with this game.

The minigames are hard, easy, simple, complex, stupid, and the worst **** piece of **** in the world! The gimmick is to get to the end at least 10 and 9 and advance you do a collect-athon but in this game you just get to the END. The boards are lackluser and **** ass. The story mode is also a big piece of ****

Yet another Mario party game where everything's based on luck, the first time I played this was with download play with my friend, and I'll admit, it was actually kinda fun, so I decided to pick it up, and god was it boaring, I didn't feel any of the joy I felt when I was playing with my friend, instead I just wanted to stop and play something else, the only complement I can give this game is that it's better than Mario party 10

Mario Party Island Tour foi uma surpresa quando o conheci, por que o Mario Party nunca pode ficar em um padrão nos portáteis? Também digo que poderia ter mais o que fazer nesse jogo, apenas os tabuleiros e os minigames individuais, ficou até entediante da mesma coisa nesse jogo.

Sometimes, I just call this game a cheap Mario Party 9 knock-off. You're probably going to wonder why... well, this game goes straight to the Mario Party 9 system and never exactly figures out a way to have originality and be its own game.

This game is awesome. It's my 3rd Favourite Mario Party Game in the Series. The graphics are great for the Nintendo 3DS. The character roster selection is good for a handheld. The boards are fun to play on and each one is unique from one another. My 2 favourite Boards are Rocket Road (because of the design, it's Super Mario Galaxy.) and Star Crossed Skyway because of the Mini Star gimmick from Mario Party 9. Bowser's Tower is okay. The minigames are awesome especially Tanks a lot, Peep a Peepa, etc. The Bubble Gallery is great. Mario Party Island Tour is an awesome 3DS Game and you should go pick it up and if you hate MPIT, you're silly as JB.

Nintendo's getting Lazy, I saw it with Mario kart 7 now with this... This time they couldn't be bothered to do the extra bit of programming to make this an online multiplayer, or maybe the 3DS can't keep up with the times then they should put out a better machine that ****'s all about Top multiplayer games...

Mario Party is still fun, but annoying aspects from previous entries carry over to this incarnation. There are a lot of mini games that are purely chance, and the lack of any online multiplayer whatsoever is also a major drawback. However, it is still fun with other people if they have their own systems, but it is just more of the same - cheerful but mundane.

This is a good Mario party game on the go, but the problem is that most of the boards are short except for one. But the game makes it up for the really fun mini games in the end pick it up for your 3ds collection

Yes, this is a game meant for more than one person to play. If you're playing by yourself is it going to be a blast? No. This is the same problem that Smash Bros has. BUT if you have a friend (or two.. or three) that you can play this game with? It's great. Really great. Maybe the best Mario Party game ever. The different game modes all vary and play in different ways. Thought was put into this, people. I wish some of these modes made it into the Wii U version but alas they didn't. I originally stayed away from this game because of the scathing reviews. You can NOT judge this game based on its single-player merit! If you've got someone to play this with, download it and always have it on your system and go to it

It is not the best Mario Party but this one is pretty good! The boards are simple but they do have some challenges here and there. The mini games are simple but are oddly fun and satisfying to complete. You can play as a good amount of characters on a good amount of boards. The music fits every board and mini game. The graphics are pretty good. This is just a simple party game that is pretty fun. Younger Mario Party fans will enjoy this game. Older people, eh. I'm older but I like this game. I love this game.

I don't understand why everyone is hating so much on Mario Party: Island Tour. This is not a bad game people, and I will briefly explain to you (below) some good things that make this a good game. It's not perfect, and it will have its faults, but I feel that the goods of the game are stronger than that of the faults. The Good: The minigames. Packed with 80 minigames, which has been one of the highest of the series, we can tell that nintendo isn't messing around with the minigames that they want us to play. To be honest, most of the minigames in the past have been pretty luck-based, but for once, the % of minigames that actually require some skill are included. Even though some minigames are ridiculously short, they're still a really small burst of fun and can be played multiple times. I have found my self stuck playing a few minigames (like tanks a lot) for more than 15 minutes in one go, either with Master AI or my family members or friends. The amount of fun and rage that you get from playing locally with people you know is just one of the best things that Mario Party games can deliver. I can see myself coming back to this game over the next few years playing those addictingly fun minigames with buds. The next great thing about Mario Party: Island Tour is its PHENOMENAL 3D effect. Assuming you have access to the 3D slider, you can see an incredible amount of depth and detail on the screen when turning up that slider. I swear, the graphics sometimes even look better with 3D on than off (main menu for example). The high amount of boards is also a great part of the mario party package, but that isn't one of the best features of the game (why is what you'll see later). Another interesting thing is Bowser's Tower (which is the main single player adventure/story you're aiming to beat). Its good features are that you get to play all the minigames, and usually 1 of the 2 choices are skill based and you have a chance at clearing it. Another good thing (and nostalgic) is that you battle bosses every 5 floors, and nearly every single one of them brings you back to the good times, such as the same characters in SM64, NSMB, and more! The final boss's minigame is quite enjoyable and has some pleasuring music. The Neutral: There isn't too much "neutral" in this game. It was typically a hit or miss for certain categories, but there was 1 or 2 things that I thought could've been improved a bit. Music is definitely one of those mixed parts of the game. It has some great tracks, such as some of the boards and boss battles, but other tracks like the songs in the minigames, and other tracks here and there are not as good as the ones mentioned earlier. Other than that, I could probably say that the character roster could have been expanded to 12 or 16. The Bad: There are bad things, as most mario parties do have bad things about them. Let's go through a few of those bad things now ~ I'll state it in one short list: Boards are TOO short & luck based, collectable count is WAY too low, and the single player adventure is TOO weak. Boards are so short, that I could probably beat them in 3 to 6 moves. Some, like the rainbow road, are way too luck based, as the winner of the first minigame has been basically guaranteed the win. Collectable count is probably the biggest bummer for me, as I really was disappointed that all you could unlock were the music tracks (which were nice) and voice bubbles. If you had MPDS, then you would remember board items, badges, and other nice things that helped extend replayability by a large amount. I feel like the single player adventure is a bit weak because there is only one thing to do, and after clearing it (30 floors), you sorta lose the urge to continue to go up again. (as you can play those same boss minigames in free play after the first run), other than that, there isn't much to do other than playing the minigames w/ AI or friends/family. Overall: I feel like this game has absolutely phenomenal minigames (some of the best in the series), but is dribbled down a bit with each small problem, including weak boards, weak single player adventure, and lack of collectables. The good minigames and fun played w/ others is one thing though, that cannot be gotten from many other games out there today. To be honest, I usually buy the mario party games for the minigames - not the boards, so hearing that the boards ****, I wasn't really TOO unhappy about that. Knowing that I can have fun with a bunch of other people with one card only is also one thing that makes my day and this game basically the best local-multiplayer game on the 3DS! Gameplay: 8.5/10 Story: 5/10 Music: 7/10 Presentation: 7/10 Length: 7.5/10 Overall: 7.5/10

It is good, but not Wowerful. Some of the boards that were luck based are bad because it relied on luck and luck alone. The one with bullet bill has some skill, but that was just "Don't have one or two if you are in a cave to not DIE AS FAST!", because that bullet bill will send you back. Some boards have it so you can virtually get from start to finish with one move because boosters. Very luck based, but some parts are fun.

Mario Party: Island Tour is an ok game, but not as good as Mario Party 2-8 (i have not try 9 or 10) the game does have fun mini games, and great gameplay,

Mario Party:Island Tour is boring and dull and dragged out. The only thing to make up for it is you can play mini games without going into a full game
