Time has not aged the plumbers one bit! Although I still love the brothers my daughter has other opinions and found it a bit distressing that it was 2 dimensional. The game play is the same, the story is the same (alright similar) and the result is the...

I'm one of the few people, especially of my age group, who has not grown up with any Mario games or anything so when I rented this game i don't think it had the same magic for me that it does for many. However as just a platform game it is still pretty...

Bling-bling-bling-bling-bling. Jump! Bling-bling-bling-bling. Mushroom! Boink! Er, hello folks. As you can probably tell from my incomprehensive babbling, I've been playing New Super Mario Brothers for quite a while now and have the blisters on my...
Marking a return to proper 2D platforming for the first time in approximately 14 years, the game also provides the Nintendo DS with one of its finest titles.

Well it's been a long time coming but Nintendo has finally seen the light and have returned Mario to his roots, 2D platforming. Now don't get me wrong the recent Mario games have been great with classics like Mario 64, Mario Sunshine and even Mario...
Overall New Super Mario Bros took a long time coming and although Mario 64 did a great job in progressing the series to the next level its great to see him return to his original roots as for me the 2D Mario games still provide the most appeal....
Well I am glad to say that the New Super Mario Bros lives up to the hype and returns gamers, both young and old, back to the golden age of gaming with its super tight and super addictive gameplay.

Mario's back to his platform roots and he's every bit as good as he was the first time around - which could be his downfall
It's a proper, 2D Mario platformer, finally ; Beautiful designed, if somewhat traditional, platform action ; Superb mulitplayer distraction
Might be a little too retro for anyone expecting the usual Mario innovation ; Um, the music's a bit crap
If you can accept Mario's return to his original roots and forgive the pared-down, classic gameplay mechanics, you're in for some genuine platforming genius. Throw in a bunch of excellent mulitplayer modes and you're looking at one of the finest DS...

Other than the constant supply of ports on the GBA, the last proper 2D Mario game was Super Mario World back on the Super Nintendo (Yoshi's Island does not really count). Quite amazing, right? Now Nintendo is back to bring Mario back home to his 2D...
And there we have it, the first true side-scrolling Mario since Super Mario World on the SNES and it almost reaches the same level of quality. The changes to the formula fit in with the existing world just fine and whilst some of the spark from...

As the title suggests this is a completely new Super Mario Bros game, this is not a port of an older game with new features, it's completely new. The story is very simple, while princess peach is enjoying a nice walk with Mario; suddenly peach's castle...
Mario runs up to the castle to try and save it and at the same time Bowser Jr. appears and kidnaps the princess. Meaning it's up to Mario to save the princess once again. [b]Read on for the full review[/b]
