So far it brings back memories but needs serious reconfiguring to make it playable for multi-player.
Next week I will talk more about this game.

New Super Mario Bros.Wii
I bought this game for my fiancée over the weekend and played it with her. Basically its a spin off of all the mario brothers games for NES and Super NES in one, but the difference is that some things are in 3D and you can use the Wii Remote to interact on screen. I have not beaten the game and have only gotten to the second world but it closely resembles super mario world. It is extremely basic for levels for advanced players, but for beginners it proved challenging for my fiancée. Most of the beginning levels involve moving platforms, something that beginners have a hard time jumping to especially when they have such a hard time getting Mario to go where they want him to move to. I died once in the first world and my fiancée died a grand total of 55 times. For every 5 times you die you must use a continue, and in exchange you receive 5 additional lives. I think the greatest feature of the new super mario bros.wii game is you can play co-op with up to four players; Mario, Luigi, (Blue) Toad and (Yellow) Toad. However the players are "solid" and you can not walk through eachother, resulting in death when you are trying to jump from one tiny platform to another in a hurry. Its too difficult to coordinate the timing between four players especially when the screen is moving and there is little ground for the players to walk on. Not only that but if the leading player goes too far the screen moves with that player, and the player dragging along dies. You are constantly waiting on another player and if you do anything ahead of the other player you risk killing them. When you do die you fall off the screen and float back in a bubble and the other player must pop it for you to be able to play again.

I am terrible at Wii but I hear this game is dope. I am a big fan of Mario anything so this is something I am going to check out. That is kinda a bummer about multi-player though. Maybe they will work out the multi-player if they come out with another one.
ReplyDeleteIt seems like the multi-player was just added on after the rest of the game was made, just as a 'hey that might be cool' kind of feature. I've played it with my younger brother and it can be a pain to get anywhere in co-op. However there is one thing that helps with those little platforms you forgot to mention. Players can push a button to enter those bubbles so 1-2 of the best players can deal with all the tiny platforms then have the ones running pop the bubbles once they get to a good spot.
ReplyDeleteHaha you said dope... haha just kidding. Yeah I am a big fan of this game. I also have purchased this game, it is a blast. But the game gets pretty hectic with four people, and you end up turning on your friends. :p
