Well I'll probably rent it since I have played all the other Mario Party games. While I have to admit that most of the games have been getting progessively worse over the years (this was especially apparent with 8) it's still better to have this over Wii Party. Who knows though, maybe with a 4 year break they can make this series good again like Mario Party 2, 3 and 4 were with some fun, unique and inventive minigames and stages.
This is probably the weirdest complaint that anyone has ever heard, but am I the only one who sorta stopped liking the series once they decided to get MORE innovative? (let me explain)
In the earlier games, there were tons of well plotted out, differently themed boards, each fun and unique in their own way. And almost all of them had the same goal. Get to wherever the star is and pay 20 coins for it. Whoever gets the most wins.
Now, we usually get only one board that actually plays like that, we always have at least one of those annoying boards where you just go in a straight line to get to the star at the end.
Of course every single complaint I could possibly have is instantly moot based on one small point...
HOLY **** ON A **** SANDWICH!!! SHY GUY IS FINALLY A PLAYABLE CHARACTER!!!

Wait...wait....everyone is in the same place, now? D'=
I stopped playing because there were too many instances where my jaded-gamer-skills that obliterated the competition was all for not due to some chance time. (When all your stars and coins went to some 4th place shmoe?) Guilty-pleasure fun for sure, but I hope they finally get rid of such things.
