Video Game Reviews of New Super Mario Bros.
Customer Review: A lot of fun
Summary: 5 Stars
Assumming you know how historical Mario is to the video game world, i'll mostly avoid that subject for this review and soley talk about the game. It is incredably fun. Wether you have played the originial, or have never picked up a mario game before, it will bring a lot of enjoyment. I Beat it and insist on unlocking all of the star coins, because i cant get enough. Dont dismiss it as a childs game , just because its suitable for children, it is great for all audiances.Customer Review: Great game!
Summary: 4 Stars
I love this game! It brings back memories of Gameboy and SuperNintendo. It is nice and fun. The only negative is that I wish you can save after every level instead of waiting until after each castle.Customer Review: Super Mario Brothers

Summary: 5 Stars
You should already know what you're getting yourself into if you've ever played a Super Mario platformer before. Princess Peach has been kidnapped, and it's up to you, Mario, to save her. Our brave hero Mario will travel between worlds chasing after the fiend which has stolen the Mushroom Kingdom's beloved princess, and I don't think I have to tell you how the story ends.
The first thing you'll notice about this game is the updated visuals. Everything from Mario and his foes to the mystery blocks and bricks are displayed in 3D, though the world which Mario travels in still scrolls in 2D exactly like the Mario games from the NES and SNES.
The second thing you'll notice is how familiar everything feels. Sure, there are some new powers that Mario can acquire, and he's gained a few tricks from his 3D outings as well (Wall jumping and ground pounding will become second nature as you play through the game), the game is still largely the same as the other 2D Mario titles. Mario still has the perfect jump which changed 2D platforming forever, the fire flower is still extremely cheap, and the world Mario travels in is still ripe with secrets to discover.
Whether you find this game nostalgic or just a retread is going to depend on the person playing the game, but if you still get that fuzzy feeling when you play through the original Super Mario Brothers, or if you've never played a 2D Super Mario game before, I suggest you pick this game up.
Overview (1 is lowest, 5 is highest):
Fun: 5 [You'll still be frustrated when you die on the same level over and over, but that won't happen often, and the game tends to throw 1UP mushrooms at you like they're going to expire.]
Playability: 5 [You'll be stomping on Goombas like you used to the first few seconds into the game if you've ever played a Mario title before. And if you haven't, the controls are simple enough for anyone to master, while still providing a wealth of options.]
Value: 4 [The game ends before you know it, but there are a nice number of minigames and multiplayer battle options for you to keep popping this game into your DS for a while]
Overall: 5 [You might not agree with my praise of this game if you're not a Mario fan, but if you are, this most recent visit to the Mushroom Kingdom is definitely worth the trip]
