New Super Mario Bros.

Not the best ever, but one of the best ever.

User Rating: 9.5 | New Super Mario Bros. DS

By jdclanc | Review Date: May 17, 2006

Gameplay: Classic Mario all the way with a lot of fun twists and innovation. Huge Mario is just the beginning .They use the 3D engine well to add fun gameplay elements.

Graphics: Using 3D graphics in a 2D side-scroller makes the game look sharp and colorful.

Sound: The music is good but not great. There is a good balance of Mario voice for those who love it and those who hate it.

Value: The game is pretty short if you rush through it. However, there are a lot of unlockable levels. Replay value is very high.

Tilt: What can I say? Nostalgia is ever present. It's a new Mario game and it rocks!
