Addictive and fun!
Played on NDS-lite "Black"
New Super Mario Bros isn't all that "new." Most of the game is just plain old sidescrolling platforming with Mario. Wich is good. There are some new parts in the game like a bit of touchscreen implements in the minigames. Also there are a few new powerups, wich make you big, small or give you the blue shell to wear. These things aren't that exciting, but fun.
It's all about what you want. Are you sick of playing Mario in a classic 2d platformer? Don''t play this game, because that is exactly what you get.
Everybody else, no matter what kind of games you like, I recommend it to you. Why? Let's read on shall we....
The graphics are awesome, bright and colourfull backgrounds and 3d characters mke NSMB look awesome! I played it on the Lite, and with the brightest settings, this game rocks.
The gameplay is classic, but the best off the classic mario platformers. Can't go wrong there right? You won't get bored with it, because there is alot to go back to, collecting all the coins(wich I personnaly go crazy for, and I'm not that big a mario fan....) getting some of the extra levels unlocked, etc.
The sound is really well done, the stereo speakers throw the sound effects from left to right and visa versa. The soundtracks are what you could expect from a Mario game. Enjoyable.
Lasting apeal is something important for me with NDS games, since most games are so short! This game offers 8 worlds, wich will take you about a day per world, if you play everyday, and for longer periods of time. Then you unlock and collect like I said above, wich adds in gameplay aswell. Great no?^^
All in all, NSMB is a game that made a non-mario fan like me go nuts on the DS. I really, really liked all of the aspects of the game. And I'm going nuts for coins, wich hasn't been around in my life since I bought this game:P
I highly recommend this game.
