I was very impressed by New Super Mario Bros. It kept the old formula of jumping, running, obtaining mushrooms, and fireflowers, and stuff like that. But it also added new things like 3-D graphics, mini mushrooms, the almighty defensive Koopa Shell, and the destructive mega mushroom. The story has been done before. Princess gets kidnapped, Mario chases the bad guy to rescue the Princess, oh and here's a spoiler, he rescues the princess, NO WAY! So the story isn't veery interesting, but the gameplay definetely is. Each level makes you think/act differently. You can't just run through a level, you'll just get yourself killed. New Super Mario Bros. isn't really hard, but it's also not easy, there are some levels in which you will die many times, many, many times. The game doesn't make very good use of the touch screen, except for tappping items so you can use it, but that doesn't really count. The levels can also be quite short, which is a bad for you players who like long intense games. As for the bosses, well, let's just say you will have more of a challenge beating an actual level then fighting an actual boss. There are a huge variety of minigames you can play with your lonely self or with three of your good friends. Or you can play the extremely fun Mario v.s. Luigi with your other lonely friend. It's sort of like the main game, but your just going against Luigi/your friend to find and collect stars in the area, while stomping and shooting your oponent with fire. Very fun, very fun.
New Super Mario Bros. is an excellent game, I've already played through it three times, if you haven't bought it already, you should run up to your mommy, ask for thirty-five dollars , get your butt in a car, and go to Best Buy or Gamestop or something.
