Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis

"Nintendo Did it Again!"

Ok, this is my first review but I really liked this game. I don't like some of the scores people gave it and I wanted to post my own.

Storyline: N/A

This storyline can't really get a score because there basically isn't one. You pretty much watch a video and go. Although if it did it wouldn't be as good. I think there should have been more cutscenes once you beat a level.

Sound: 8/10

I love the music, especially the Mushroom Kingdom music. Though it does drag on and gets repetitive, I believe Nintendo wanted the songs to get stuck in your head so you would want to play.

Graphics: 8/10

The graphics were good, just not flashy or anything special like that. I personally think it would ruin the game to have these eye-popping, 3-D graphics for a puzzle game. I like what they did with the background. It shows the setting and is quite nice.

Gameplay: 9/10

I love the gaming style for this game and it can get really addicting. I am still beating the game so I can't say how long it would take but I would estimate 20- 50 hours. The only times I have gotten bored playing this game was when I had to play a level over and over again. I also like the minigames but I think there should have been more variety, like in New Super Mario Bros. All in all, The gameplay is great.

WiFi: 9/10

I love the prospect of making and playing my own levels and I was even more amazed when they made it so you can trade levels with other people. I am still an amateur level constructor and I don't have WiFi so it isn't as great.

Controls: 9/10

I love the prospect of using the stylus to guide the mini-marios and it was very simple and easy to master. You drag, click, turn, you name it, they do it. I have only had a few accidents where my people wouldn't stop or they went the wrong way.

Over All: 9/10

I strongly suggest buying this game if you like puzzle games. If you are a sports fan and only like sports games, stay away from this game.

Thank you.
