I've only played this game about 3 times during the limited amount of time I got to play Mario Party 4 at my elementary school for (They had a Gamecube there with Mario Party 4, Mario Kart Double Dash, Sonic Heroes, and one other game I forgot (another Mario game, though).
It was a fun game to play through I found.
First time I didn't know what to do and failed instantly.
Second time, I figured out what to do and, once again, failed instantly.

3rd time I did really well. I don't remember my score, but I know I did quit because I got bored of it at one point (and I had to get back to class at that point).
Also - This was also during a time when I get special access to an area to study or do homework and they let me play that if I had none to do.
