I found myself skipping the loads and loads of text and just wanting to get the game over with. The 3D aspect was pretty much useless. The game would have been more fun as a pure 2D side scroll.
I found the game to be waaay too easy. I only had to hit the final boss four or five times to do him in! But I guess I did beat the Pits before chapter 7, so that might have contributed to the easy ending. I also didn't really care for the Pixl's. I liked it much better when you had a koopa or goomba following you around.
However, I thought the game was fun. I wasn't sure about the way the fighting was set up when i bought the game, but really did like it after I played the game. I also thought thought the mini-games in the arcade were a great idea. The mini-games definately make me want to buy Mario Party 8.
