The kids love watching my husband play and always ask him to "Beat the guy, Daddy." Good investment. Glad they brought it back. It definitely has taught him dexterity. He's even better than me. I liked it cuz it had fairly easy "mini games" that my 3 year old son can do--matching cards, hitting gophers, snowball building, and more. I bought this game for my 6 year old daughter since it's her DS. But I never would have thought that my 3 year old son could actually master the main Super Mario Bros game. It's challenging for all ages.
Excellent graphics and sound.Cons: Frustrating save system, easy levels, short game.Overall: 4/5 stars because it is still worth buying for the DS/DS Lite/DSi. In New Super Mario Bros, you can only save after major milestones or after you beat certain areas of the map (castles are one example). The stylus isn't used much for the normal game, but the controls are easy enough. But many people have normal lives outside of games, so we tend to rely on frequent saves. Some of the sounds and moves are directly from Mario 3 and Mario World, while the audio sound bytes reminded me of Mario 64. Overall, the game gets 4/5 stars.Pros: Mario fans rejoice, you get a nicely made Mario game for the DS. You basically have the same controls as Mario Bros 1. Granted, most of the levels are very easy and short.
The graphics and sound are top notch, typical of all Super Mario games. Easy controls for all ages, lots of familiar elements from previous Mario games. New Super Mario Brothers DSMini games are kind of fun, they rely on different skill sets, one even uses the microphone.The overall game itself is a combination of elements from Mario Bros 1-3, Super Mario World, and Mario 64. The most frustrating part of the game is the save system. Again, there are elements of all the previous Mario games in the DS version.
Overall it's not that bad once you geat use to it. There are some problems like the saving part. I love it I really do. The most fun of Mario games but not the best in my opinion. I can't save much data because some parts of the game only allow you to save data like the mushroom houses.
Won't be disappointed with this one. It's his new favorite Mario game (he also has Mario Kart and it's a big fav). My son played this game over the summer with a friend, and LOVED it. It was the ONLY thing he asked Santa for this year. My husband will link up and play with him because it's an older game he used to play back in the day.
Great game. It's just such a waste of money. My daughter loves this game. I'm always hesitant when buying new DS games, because some are played once or twice and then put down. However, this has NOT happened with the New Super Mario Bros.
