    I'm looking into getting a fun multi-player game for the Wii.  I've played out WarioWare, so that's out of the question.  I also can't really afford Mario Kart right now, since no place seems to have it in stock for a reasonable price.  My primary options are Boom Blox, Mario Party, and possibly (my girlfriend thought it would be fun) Cooking Mama.  Any thoughts?

    Yeah, sorry, I couldn't wait for the party or multi-player section to get put up.robbob88 said:

    So...I should get it even though it sucks?  I already have GH and RB for my xbox, but it turns out that my sister has Mario Party and, so I think I'm gonna go with Boom Blox.  I liked the other Mario Partys, but I'm not sure if I'm willing to spend 30+ on a game that got subpar reviews.

    Thanks for the help by the way.  Oh, and I tried Brain Age, but it wasn't really my type of game.

    In my opinion Mario Party 4 was the best. It was the most basic but very very fun mini games.

    I'd reccommend Mario Party, although it might be a better idea to just save up for Mario Kart Wii.

    Boom Blox is awesome, I definitely recommend it. Aside from the shooting mode that just makes me ask "why?" there isn't a part of that game I haven't liked.

    Get Boom Blox! Trust me, the single-player is a lot of fun. But when you start playing the multiplayer you won`t be able to put the Wiimote down. My family doesn`t like games that much but once I put Boom Blox during my birthday several people stopped to watch that strange game where you need to destroy huge towers and do many other actions. A few minutes later I was wishing the Wii had support for sixteen Wiimotes.

    Cool, thanks for the help.  I ended up getting Boom Blox because I found a new copy on ebay for 35 bucks.  I watched the review, and it looked pretty fun, so I don't think I'll be disappointed.

    Boooooooooooom Blox. Best, most accessible party game on the Wii, if not ever.
