Default Core-X Review - New Super Mario Bros. 2

ooooh great.

This game.

Welp, here we go.

Story -
....Really, man?

It's a bloody Mario game. Nobody cares.

Gameplay -

If you've played any other "New" (HA!) title before this, it's exactly the same. You run, and jump, and throw fireballs, and that's it. It still has the double and triple jump from the other "New" games, performed by three jumps in a row timed correctly.

However, it has a larger focus on coin collecting.

The game constantly cock-teases you and seeing if you can get a million coins. There is a global counter that counts how many you've got in total.

I didn't bother. Because the collecting element is implemented, well, not very well.

It just throws coins in your face expecting to distract you from the fact, that, really, the level design isn't that good. It feels thrown together, like Mario 64. The coins really don't make a difference, and it's not like there's some shop element that you can do or a power meter or anything.

You know what happens when you get a million coins?

The main-menu background changes.

*facedesk* *facedesk* *facedesk*

The main game is just lackluster. There, really, is only six worlds. SIX. In total, added with the secrets, they'res nine. But guess what, game? 3D Land had SIX-****ING-TEEN! NSMBWii got away with it because they were still trying to stick to a formula with the second game! NSMB2 has three extra worlds, world Mushroom, World Flower, and the Star World. There should be EIGHT WORLDS with the extras ADDED ON! I mean, seriously, that's just stupid. The levels aren't even long and fleshed out. The ghost houses are extremely easy to pass. It's just overall not very good.

This game isn't completely ****ty, though. There is one saving grace.

Coin Rush mode.

But they'res a catch.

The only really great part is the DLC.

In coin rush, by default, you're given random levels from the main game. You know. The ones with bad design. The DLC is where it's at. Really. And because of that, this should have been a 5$ game on the eshop with only a coin rush mode and 5 built in CUSTOM MADE packs and the option to add more with DLC.

In all, this game isn't horrible, persay, just bad. Lackluster. Bleh.

(No score. Opinions can't be described in numerical values.)

This is the best damn review i've ever read in my life. I hit the ground in tears when your words blinded me with so much great logic. I never knew New Super Mario Bros. 2 sucked so hard. Bless you, core-x.

Bless you.

There is so much sarcasm here I can't tell if that last comment was serious.

I disagree Skyrim and Fallout 3 aren't as "hardcore" as this Mario title IMO

I'm not butthurt, It's called a review. If a game is bad, you say WHY it's bad.
