Talk:Mario Party 4/GA1

GA Review

• Can you crop the white borders off the sides of Image:Mario Party 4.jpg? (I use bjweeks for this if (like me) photoshop is your sworn enemy.)

Woah, woah, woah, slow down, Giggy. I don't have a clue about images. I catually got User: The Prince of Darkness to upload the image because I've never done iot before. Assistance please?

Don't worry, I'm pretty bad with images too. I got User:Gazimoff to fix it up and upload a new copy. —Giggy 09:26, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

• No wlink to Mario Party (series) in the lead or infobox?

Done in the infobox. Should I put it in the lead too?

Yeah, I think you should mention the series in the lead. —Giggy 09:26, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

• General note; this is the only Mario Party game I've played (IIRC), and I loved it. So there. :-)

Only played 4 and 5. It's been going steadily down hill—Mario Party 8 couldn't have been more of a missed opportunity. They had the Wiimote and they still fluffed it up.

Wow. Is it possible to stuff up with a Wiimote? —Giggy 09:26, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

• "The objective of the game is to earn as many stars as possible,[1] which are obtained by purchase from a single predefined space on the game board. Each character's movement is determined by a roll of a die,[2]" - does this stuff (in the lead) really need citation?

Removed.

• Tell me if my grammar sucks (on any change I make, in general).

Should be the other way around—you tell me if my grammar sucks. I commonly make that mistake; I was looking at "turns" instead of minigame.

• "Stars are usually attained by landing on the space on the board which it is set on, with the location changing after every acquisition." - this is somewhat unclear; I know "the space" = the space on which the star sits, and that the location of the star changes after someone getting it, but I've played. Try and clarify if you can.

Reworded. Better?

Yep - did another minor reword myself. —Giggy 09:26, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

• "Mario Party 4 features six boards, five of which taking their name from a secondary Mario character" - if there's no wlink to a character list you can give an example of a secondary character. Oh, and "taking their name" --> "take their name"?

Done

• "Mario Party 4 features eight playable characters, although they do not have any different gameplay attributes from each other." - somewhat tacked on and should probably go earlier in the section, I'd say.

Done

• So, what, this game just popped out of the sky? :-) Very little on development - is that all there is to say? (Oh and it wouldn't hurt to cite the voice actors to somewhere, though it's not compulsory.)

I'm afraid so. For this reason, it's very difficult to get a non-AAA Mario title to FA. The only reason I got so much for Mario Power Tennis is because Camelot made it. I've cited Charles Martinet to IMDB, but I don't know if that's a reliable source.

It's probably OK for his appearing on there. Hmm... strange there's so little info out there for such a big franchise. Shrug.

• "Mario Party 4 received a generally mixed response from critics, although the game was widely criticised for a lack of originality" - if it was mixed you should say something positive too.

Done

• "exhausted themselves on previous Mario Party titles may not find enough here to draw them back again" - should Mario Party be in italics?

Done

• Hmm... Game Informer isn't used at all in the reception section?

I know you have a thing about this. I don't have the material, so should I remove or replace.

Sorry, my bad, I always forget to check if you're citing Game Rankings or something else. Don't worry about it. :-) —Giggy 09:26, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

• No Metacritic?

Done

That's about it - please leave me a note when done. Cheers, —Giggy 09:15, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

Addressed issues. Left questions for some. Thanks, Giggy. Ashnard _Talk ^Contribs 17:50, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

Added "It is the fourth game in the Mario Party series." Do you think it needs a reference? ;-) Ashnard _Talk ^Contribs 10:39, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

It might... ;-) —Giggy 12:00, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
