Old-School, mixed with some new
User Rating: 9.1 | New Super Mario Bros. DS
Ever since this game was announced for the DS, I couldn't have been more excitied. I mean, who wouldn't love to have some old-school side-scrolling Mario in your hand? Once I picked up this game, I couldn't put it down. Everything about this game is excellent, brought back so many memories of playing Mario on the NES. The graphics in this are really colorful and nice, and just beautiful. It was nice to see a modern-day Mario in a side-scrolling game. The also has been done really well, lots of old-school type sounds brought back. I really don't need to say anything about the gameplay... it's pretty much self-explanatory. The new upgrades in this game are really cool as well. Getting a gigantic mushroom and watching Mario grow into a giant and just being able to destroy everything in his path is just really cool and fun. Also, theres some nice multiplayer addition, and some mini-games, but they are just the mini games from Super Mario 64 DS bought over, but are still fun. Overall,if you own a DS, get this game.
