Video Game Reviews of New Super Mario Bros.
Customer Review: Fun game
Summary: 4 Stars
For those of us who grew up on the Super Mario Bros game, this one brings back a lot of great memories. The gameplay of the main game is very similar in style, and I was thrilled to see that they stayed so true to what I was hoping to find.
Even better, the old style of short levels works wonderfully with a Nintendo DS, since it lets you play in short bursts while you're out and just have a couple of minutes, without worrying about whether you can remember where you are in some kind of complex plotline. You can open it up, be having fun immediately, and put it on hold at any time by just closing the DS.
It also has a selection of cute mini-games that are fun and sometimes make creative use of the special qualities of the DS. There's a "whack-a-mole" style game, for example, that focuses on quickly tapping the moles with a stylus as they appear (and avoiding tapping Luigi when he does).
It's also an easy game to follow even if you can't read or execute complex reasoning. My 4-year-old nephew absolutely loves this game. He's played it for several hours a week, nearly every week, for the past 3 months and he's still eager to get his hands on it every time he thinks I might be coaxed into sharing.

Summary: 4 Stars
The New Super Mario Bros is a game that I reccomend for anyone that has a DS. It has everything, fun gameplay, minigames, good graphics and (duh) Mario! The only beef that I have with this game is that even though it is generally easy, the saving spots are terrible and this can make that game very frustrating.
The gameplay is everything you would expect it to be. Princess Toadstool gets kidnapped, Mario has to save her, blah blah blah. We all know the deal. Another mario side scrolling adventure? I want something original! Not to worry, it's just as good as the first 3 Mario side scrollers. I had no problem with the gameplay except for the saving issue I mentioned earlier.
The graphics are pretty good, but when Mario takes off his hat at the end of each level, you can see that the details in his face are not exactly A+. It is a sidescroller so I really don't care, but a little bit more effort on the small details of Mario would be a nice bonus.
The minigames are just an extra feature, but the are fun to do after you beat the game. They are nothing special, but Wario is the only Nintendo character who I really expect great minigames from.
All in all, I had a great time playing this game. You will enjoy it weather you are 4 or 40. I had great fun playing this game, and I'm sure you will too.

Summary: 3 Stars
I purchased this game a few days ago attempting to relive my Nintendo, youthful years. While this game does bring back the glory days of old school Mario, it unfortunately is a game that doesn't allow one to relive their youth for very long. Basically, I was able to beat the entire game in two days. In fact, I was able to pass through the first two worlds without even losing one life. The last two levels are the only levels that present even a modest challenge.
The best part of this game is the opportunity to play Mario as Mario originally was. The levels are fun and contain your typical worlds including: desert, ice, etc. The graphics are fun, the control is fun, and its an overall fun game; however, it really doesn't seem worth the $35 I paid for two days worth of enjoyment. These were not two full days either, but downtime during the day.
The multi-player extras are a welcomed edition. There are several games that two plays can go head to head. These are all kinds of games. I suspect that this addition will provide limited fun with a friend for an hour of challenging each other every once in awhile. This is great for the gamer that has a brother/sister or friend that they can challenge on a regular basis. However, for those of us who no longer live at home and by ourselves, the game's fascination wears out quickly.
In conclusion, this is a classic game that is sure to please any fan of Mario and return them to a younger time. However, the game is just very limited and extremely easy to complete.
Happy gaming.
