I got this game for Christmas and it was on one of the best gifts I gottn along with Super Mario 3D World. I call this game #2 of my favorite games. The character models were a little off, but they are good to play the game with. They made Bowser Jr. as unlockable character which was crazy good, he is the son of Bowser for crying out loud!!! If play with Bowser Jr. in Bowser's Tower, There will be more dialog bubbles about him. I give Bowser Jr. a 5/5. The gameplay had me going. The new boards and their ways of winning was really good. My favorite board would have to be Perilous Path Palace, Rocket Road, and Bowser's Peculiar Peak. I give that a 4/5. Next is minigames. The minigames here are very nice. Nintendo can be very creative about minigames. It seems though that there are no 1 vs 3 or 2 vs 2 minigames. There all just Free-for-All. Although they did bring back Time Attack, my favorite minigame challenge from Mario Party 9. It's a little trickier than I imagined. The other challenge Hot-Air Hijinks is kinda like Step it Up from Mario Party DS and 9 except they player is using a Hot-Air Balloon to reach the clouds. A 4/5 for minigames. I never really used Streetpass Minigames but there are a lot of experts out there, but I do love a good challenge. 3/5 for StreetPass Minigames. Collectables is my #3 favorite mode. You can view your minigame records and listen to music from the game. I have a lot of Mario Party Points at this moment and I can't wait the spend it all once I get everything else unlocked from the shop. I rate Collectable 5/5. Bowser's Tower is fun and challenging. Even if it take 2 hours to finish, depending on fast you play the game. The bosses are good enough to challenge and battles are more creative then I thought it would be. At the end, well actually I don't to spoil it; so you can go on and finish then see for yourself. For the first time ever about Bowser, I give him a 5/5 for the challenge. The music is incredible and some of them are remixes of older Super Mario games. The best music I heard so far is Wide open... from the minigame Bumper Thumper and  etc. Music gets 5/5. It has been a pleasure playing this game. This will be the only game I might ever play on 3DS until Super Smash Bros. for 3DS come out. Mario Party: Island Tour, to me is the best Mario Party game I ever played. Thank you for to reading my review. See ya!
