Mario is Missing!

"The Only thing that is missing is good graphics, gameplay, and controls"

This must be Nintendo's other dirty little secret the first being the Virtual Boy, and like the Virtual boy it suffers from the same problem prolong use of this may cause permanent damage to your eyes. Anyways.. there was a game that starred Mario's older brother Luigi. But unlike the latter it doesnt contain good grapics or gameplay. Maybe this is why Luigi mansion was greeted by luke warm reviews because this game leaves a bad taste in your mouth kinda like if you took shots of Pine-Sol.

Story(1/10): Well I guess the title pretty much explains it all. Mario is Missing and it up to Luigi to find him. Most likely Bowster kidnapped him but i wouldnt know cause I didnt play this game more then twent minutes before I deleted it from my harddrive and ran a full virus scan. This game isnt worth the fifteen seconds it takes to download let only your time to play. Pretty much to sum up the game you go along trying to guess where your at and eventually come across Yoshi. Sometimes you meet Princess Toadstool and she ask you riduculous question, why I dont know.

Graphics(1/10)- About as visually appleasing as waking up after someone slipped ruffies in your drink and looking into the eyes of your new friend Giovanni. This game runs on a slighty modified Super Maro World engine. Modified what do you mean. I mean Nontendo decided to take out frames of animation paste it on a dull background and lowered the colors to 56.

Sound(2/10)the twenty minutes i played it wasnt that bad it was also wasnt that good.

Control(2/10) look at above

Final thought: Why would Nintendo ruin one it beloved franchises. Was it pressure form congress or Moms with way to much time on there hands seriously. I could have thought of a better game on three day drinking binge at college. This game was designed as a sex-free,non violence game with an educational purpose. Instead it does the opposite. I tested it on my 10yr old brother. After ten minutes of gameplay he was so frustrated with the game he threw down the controller yelled a couple of 4 letter words and watched undressed on MTV. Come on dog tell me you never thought of Mariah and a bottle of thousand Island dressing tell me you didnt
