New Super Mario Bros. 2 (3DS)

This is my favourite game on the system and whilst it may be more of the same, its the most fun experience so far on the 3ds

The main issue i have is why is it on 3ds and not ds?.. The 3d is of no use at all, surely this game would have been better and sold more on ds? Anyway its typical Mario stuff, good graphics, jolly music, lots of secrets and a good co op mode. More stuff to come via download which is either good or cheeky depending on your view. Still worth 4 stars as its slick and fun but it is VERY similar to new super mario bros 1.

the first one as the previous review says lacks mini games - it does look sharper than the previous game with a better soundtrack. The collect as many coins as you can so you can be on a wordwide leader board gets boring quickly and you just want to complete the level. There are going to be some download content that you can buy for the game but again you have to BUY it and it is not free - as of yet there is nothing to be purchesed. If you had never played the previous edition for the DS you will enjoy - if you did play it you will ironically feel short changed even though the object of the game is to collect as many gold coins as possible. Still worth a place in your collection to keep you entertained until Luigis Mansion 2 and Paper Mario 2 are released later this year.

Purchased this at midnight on the day of release, its very similar to new super mario bros 1 however lacks any mini games at all,which I feel is a major let down, other users cant even join in via download play. However I do like that you can play in co-op mode to complete the game with 1 other person, however again, its not possible to do through download play, both people must have a copy of the game.

All in all,not a bad game, but let down on the multi user function
