Super Mario Party Jamboree review - how to lose friends and alienate people
Super Mario Party Jamboree is the biggest Mario Party game yet, but fails to find the fun at almost every step.
With Jamboree marking the third get-together on Switch for NintendoCube's long-running minigame marathon, it barely seems long enough to have got the last one out of our system, let alone had time to start craving yet another merry-go-round of Mario-based board game antics. | Image credit: Eurogamer/Nintendo Besides, if having a more clearly defined structure was truly important to Jamboree's overall appeal, then it could stand to make the rest of its modes feel more unified with its main party efforts, rather than leaving them divorced and easily ignored as you slowly spin round its archipelago of menu islands. Maybe Nintendo Cube will strike a better balance on the next try with Mario Party - though given we're already 12 games deep at this point (and that's just counting the mainline entries), maybe it's time to finally take a longer break from this series and go back to a leaner, more fundamental kind of drawing board.
