New Super Mario Bros

I actually played this game years ago on my Wii but I ended up losing my copy I recently managed to buy a new one and decide to start over from the very beginning but I do distinctly remember the play the first time I played it and this is really a top-quality game it looks great feels great the controls are easy. It's a very dangerous and tricky thing to try to make a sequel of a classic particularly what a lot of people would consider one of the greatest video games ever and that's the original Super Mario Brothers I like millions of people around the world when I was a kid play the original on my old NES. Just like remaking or doing a sequel to A beloved film there have been a lot of video games that have tried this and not been particularly successful. It's risky when you are again dealing with a game that is so legendary but this game actually delivers and I would argue actually manages to be better than the original in quite a few places. There's really no sense going into detail with the story and that's the only problem with the game because it's the same old thing Bowser has Princess Peach kidnapped again, seriously that girl needs some better security around her Castle, what is this now the 5 billionth time Bowser has been able to kidnap Peach and of course Mario and his friends have to run off to save her so that's the only problem with the game it's the same old story line but everything else is much better first you get some extra ways to use Mario my personal favorite is Mario literally gets a propeller on top of his head and can fly great distances this can be very helpful and quite a few levels also you'll come across Toad Houses for example in one of them you play a game of chance a wall of panels you climb up down one and it turns around and either shows an item or the Bowser or Bowser jr. Logo every time you make a match with an item it goes into your item stash but if you match Bowser or his kid the game is over though you do not lose what you have already matched it just stops you from continuing to match anything more there are other bonuses strewn about particularly Giant coins 3 in each level that will come in very handy once you finally managed to rescue the princess bonus levels and of course each level just like in the original game has all of its little secrets so there's a great deal of replay value hear you not only want to get a higher score but you're going to have to go back and look at quite a few of these levels to find a lot of these hidden places where you can find stash of coins, items and all kinds of other goodies. There also bonus levels once you finish the main campaign to unlock even more goodies. Oh by the way one little tip. Once you've gone into a toad house and grab whatever you can get the house disappears however if at any point in the game you run out of lives and it's a game over all of the Toad Houses from the previous levels will pop back up so you can go back to those houses to load yourself up with more items this is simply pure enjoyment it's everything a video game is supposed to be you can just sit back and have a good time playing it if you have never had the chance of playing this don't miss out on a really nice video gaming experience

I only have one real criteria for a Wii game. Can I have fun playing it with my wife and friends? That's the reason I got a Wii instead of an Xbox 360 or a PlayStation 3. To me, the Wii is more like a board game than a video game system, something to be shared and enjoyed with other, instead of the countless solitary hours demanded by most video game systems. There was a time when I would have happily devoted 40-plus hours by myself playing a video game, but those times are gone.I was let down a bit by Mario Kart Wii, due to its dependence on winning the single-player mode in order to unlock the new carts and courses used in multi-player mode. Because of that I was a little wary to buy another Mario product, but I am happy to say that meets that "New Super Mario Bros" has none of those limitations. This is just pure gaming good times.First off the nostalgia hits pretty hard. I couldn't possibly count how many hours of my life I spent perfecting "Super Mario Bros" for the NES. What made the game awesome was all of the hidden bits (negative levels, anyone?) and getting your patterns and timing right. The "New Super Mario Bros" retains all of that fun and excitement, improving where necessary but keeping the flavor and challenge that made the old "Super Mario Bros" so exciting.Having the multi-player option is a total game-changer. You seriously need to work together to complete the worlds, going at the same pace and timing your jumps so that you don't knock your partner down. This gets especially challenging in some of the ice and air worlds where a simple mistake can send your partner tumbling to death.The game world is big enough that you can spend a lot of time playing around in it, going back and forth between the levels and advancing at your own pace. We finished several of the levels with a few missing Star Coins, and have gone back to try and find them. Just like the old "Super Mario Bros," there are enough game secrets buried here to keep you guessing for quite a while.All in all my wife and I have devoted a lot of hours to "New Super Mario Bros," and will spend a lot more before we are done. This one was definitely worth the purchase.
