IGN - Review
6.0 Presentation
The same lighthearted, candy-colored presentation as every installment in the Mario series. A bigger selection of characters adds some variety, but some more voice work would be nice.
7.5 Graphics
Sharp, colorful graphics and good-looking characters, but the 3D boards' textures don't hold up when the camera zooms in closer.
6.0 Sound
Same old, same old. Plenty of grunts and fun, uplifting tunes with yoghurt cup synth samples, but the DPLII logo on the box is more for show than anything else.
8.0 Gameplay
Slightly sped up board gameplay, is still in stark contrast to the fast and amazingly entertaining mini-games. Loads of modes, some of which are actually really good.
8.0 Lasting Appeal
Once again, the four-player gameplay has the ability to attract both casual and hardcore gamers alike. If you have friends, you'll be playing this for a long time.
