I was amazed just how addictive this game could be!! :)
Now that thats over with, lets talk about the latest tale in Mario's adventure. I have played them all since the original nes version. I have to say this game fits up there with the goodness that is super Mario bros. All I can say is wow. The colors are vibrant and alive. The rendering is top notched and the music is great.
You are Mario and you must travel the galaxy to find and save your sweetheart Princess Peach from the evil Bowser. Each world is vibrant and fun. The controls altho not taking the full use of the wii's movement technology are still wonderful. From using the pointer, to spinning and using mario's special forms. It is all well done and fairly easy to pick up. The difficulty increases at a manageable rate so that you are not overwhelmed.
I would say my only beef is that still to this day Mario barely talks. Being the age of great voice actors i figured that Nintendo could spend the time and find the right person to do the voices. ON the other hand i understand not wanting to screw it up as well. The bubbles are still effective and give it that old school flavor. This complaint is more about my personal opinion then a real complaint.
This game is great for all ages, and I recommend it to all. Have fun and enjoy a piece that can remind us of all the fun we had playing video games as kids...
