Canon Puts Efficiency On Press-
"Disappointing." on by jsthorpe
Pros: The visuals are exactly what you'd expect, presentation is flawless. Nintendo clearly wanted to continue where it left off with the traditional Mario platform series.
Cons: Not enough room here to explain why I don't like this game. Move on to the summary.
Summary: The controls are truly shocking. why bother to even try to implement "classic" controls and then introduce using the Wii Remote's movement functions, something completely alien to the Mario platform world? Game physics - character movement is innacurate and slow, leaving you with a sensation that you have to anticipate your character's movement ahead of time. It may be realistic, but its totally out of place! The ever-present timer in the top right of the screen only makes this situation worse. I felt the entire game was disappointing and not much fun at all. The difficulty of the levels is probably about right, but I found myself lacking the patience to put up with the appalling control methods... this extends to the map screens too. I got very frustrated with this game, despite giving it more than enough chances... its not at all what I expected from Nintendo. Definitely could do better, especially to justify the price tag. Such a shame as I really wanted this game to be brilliant.

"This game is retro and I love it!" on by mengels20
Pros: This game does exactly what it was meant to do and that is to make a newer fresh version of the Super Mario Bros you played on your older system 5-10+ years ago.
Cons: The only negative I have is the fact that it can become repetitive, but what game doesn't at one point.
Summary: The bottom line is that this game is a great buy and I would recommend it to anyone who like the original Super Mario Bros games.
