DS Review: New Super Mario Brothers Review

[Reeg]

New Super Mario Brothers Review
Nintendo DS

New Super Mario Brothers is exactly what the title implies, a fresh new version of old school Mario. This 3D side-scroller is very addicting redefining what a platforming game should be.

Storyline: Same as it always is, Peach gets kidnapped and you save her. Is it ever different? Nope, because that’s the way the fans love it.

Graphics: The 3D style mixed with the 2D platforming made for interesting combination. Pretty well done overall.

Presentation: Stepping into Mario’s shoes is no problem, seeing how he has just about all the skills he’s acquired throughout his library of games compiled into this game.

Sound: Revamping old Mario music into great music that just never gets tiring to listen to was an excellent addition to the game.

Replay-ability: If you’re good you could jump right through this game in a few mere hours. But with the massive amount of levels you can count on many more hours of fun.

Multiplayer: Very fun in this game whether you want to do 1v1 Mario vs. Luigi or a 4 player mini game marathon, this game provides excellent multiplayer support. Although many games were copied from Super Mario DS, it still provides great fun.

Rating: 9.5/10

These are for Wiispace writers. It feeds the new homepage with news.

Cool, so if I became a writer I could post threads? Alright.... I just send a review to you and Chris, right? I wouldn't mind doing some reviews.

I've submitted one, but it might be too long. I actaully had to shorten it from its original version because the PM I sent to Wiispace would not let me send a message with 6400 characters.

To reeg: Good review man, but its a little short. Have you considered adding a little more....commentary? Perhaps describing the game in more detail? Its important to remember that reviews are made for the people that havent played the game yet, so anything new added from previous versions is especially important. For example, you could have pointed out that this one allows you to use some new powerups that allow you to shrink to miniature size, or slide around in a turtle shell.

I like to keep some reviews short and to the point. It makes it easier for the reader.

Thats true. I think the 4999 letter whopper I PMed to wiispace may be a bit... slow...
