Yeah Mario Party 4 has a lot of really boring moments in the middle of the game. It becomes so boring it actually becomes a battle of who can get lucky to have a magic lamp in the item shop to buy.Snifit_Cadet said:Not posted here for ages!
The only thing I really dislike about this game is the way that the 'roads' on which the characters travel is raised off the board, and you don't interact much with the surroundings. See Boo's Haunted Bash, etc.
IMO, they improved on that massively in MP5 (bought it yesterday) though MP5 has some slightly lamer minigames.
