I thought i'd interrupt the raw anger to provide you with a fascinating insight into the world of New Super Mario Bros. , for Nintendo DS. In case you didn't read the title.
Pros:
1. MARIO!
2. Sound/Music is always awesome.
3. Big mushrooms make you super big, and it really is the easy way to p4wn all bosses.
4. Very few signs of Luigi.
5. Bowser Jr. is easy to defeat. Although it does make you a baby basher, which is low...
6. Minigames are fun for ADHD sufferers.
7. It's mario. (See point 1)
Ok, now for the cons...
1. You can't save every level. If I could express the amount of hate I feel towards this trait of the game, I would've probably unleashed so many expletives by now that even Anthony would probably feel offended. Look at it like this; you've been playing for a solid half-hour, and have reached a saving level stage (a tower or a castle - it's all good). You play through this previously unplayed level, realising just how annoying that un-killable enemy of mario's is, and then you get the two words, which, more than anything in the world make you want to take up a career as a postman, realise how little job satisfaction you have, steal people's money, get fired for stealing people's money, use people's money to buy a gun, wait for the gun clearance to occur, and then walk back into the office from whence you were previously fired as a postman and shoot whoever happens to be there at the time. Anyway, onto point 2...
2. Mario's death sequence. I swear, this thing pisses me off more than stupid people and lack of donuts put together. It goes like this:
1) You are happily meandering along the level.
2) You encounter a really feeble incident (think falling down a ridiculously small hole, or walking into a mysterious brown blob who can't hurt you in any real way whatsoever [He doesn't even have a mouth - Frikin hell!])
3) As soon as above incident occurs, Mario turns to face the game player. Ok, not bad...
4) He flaps his arms, while looking surprised. This is really, really annoying. And yes, I'm surprised too - that you can DIE SO EASILY.
5) If the original flapping-arms thing isn't annoying enough, you jump up and fall off the screen.
Seriously, if you have the energy to do that, can't you just escape the threat and get more health. It's nearly as horrible as when you're in a 3rd person shooter and you just get shot at until you die. And really, it's just sad.
3. You can never really just GET the star. It's in some hidden box. Don't get me wrong, I love the star, it's just that it annoys me when you have to jump up and down like a pogo stick rider with ADHD just to find a star.
And yes, that's about it. As for the above, the game is MARIO, so get it. Now.
RATING: 90/100 [pretty entertaining - go buy it]
On another note, I agree with Anthony about the YOUth Decide voting, but on a different note. If you asked most people with any brain between them, they could tell you that not only are we dependent on renewable energy for less than 5% of our power, they could also tell you that that's about as much renewable energy as we can get. Saying we should have 40-50% renewable energy is like a little kid saying that he's going to travel to the moon by use of balloons. Not only is it completely impossible, it allows the people who claim the idea to be ridiculed. I'm so glad I live in a generation of morons, bought by cheap propaganda.
That's all for now
