Mario Vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis (Nintendo DS)
Customer Review: March to your own beat
I was so hooked on this game, I even started taking it to work with me to play in my lunch hour. It’s brilliantly addictive, and a long time since I remember a Lemmings style puzzler of this quality. It reminds me of Krusty’s Super Funhouse for the SNES, but without the horrible annoying music. Each level is based on a different Mario or Donkey Kong game stage - a genius idea, they even use Mario and DK music from past games.
The ‘build your own level’ is fantastic, but takes a few goes to get right.
The game’s only let down is that it’s maybe a bit too easy to complete, I finished it in about a week of playing during lunch hours. That said, it’s still a lot of fun and it’s great to see Mario and Donkey Kong in this kind of game.
Customer Review: Very fun game, a bit too short though.
Despite the fact that I only ever finished 2 levels with a gold star (silver for the rest) this was quite an easy game. I took it on holiday with the intention of it being decent fodder for downtime but I finished it all in 6 days.
Asides from that it’s very cute and colorful (as with most Mario games) and has some great gameplay and tunes. It’s a lot like the Lemmings games crossed with a little bit of snakes and ladders. The puzzles are clever and fun to solve and it’s never boring. I did find the lack of response (only sometimes) from the stylus pen to be a bit annoying, but it wasn’t that big of a deal.
Perfect for kids, a decent distraction for adults.

New Super Mario Bros. (Nintendo DS) In a nutshell:
It’s been over fifteen years since the last Super Mario Bros. but finally Mario is back in a proper 2D platforming adventure. Just because it’s old school though doesn’t mean it’s old hat…
The lowdown:
Considering the last Super Mario Bros. game is still the best selling video game of all time (17.28 million copies and counting) this has a lot to live up to, but it almost effortlessly captures the action and charm of the old games. The basics of the game are the same as always as you run and jump through mostly horizontally scrolling levels. New to the game are power-ups that turn Mario into a giant or make him really tiny, as well as one that gives him a Koopa shell on his back to attack enemies with. Although the gameplay is all in two dimensions the graphics are 3D, with all new moves such as the triple jump and wall jump added in as well.
Most exciting moment:
As well as the single player mode there’s also a wireless multiplayer mode where you get to battle a friend (as Luigi) across a whole bunch of specially designed levels.
Since you ask:
As Super Mario World on the SNES (since re-released as Super Mario Advance 2 on the GBA) was subtitled Super Mario Bros. 4 in Japan that name couldn’t be used for this new game, although that’s secretly whatever everyone’s calling it - behind Nintendo’s back.
The bottom line:
The impossible has happened: Nintendo have created a worthy follow-up to Super Mario Bros. 3!

Customer Review: MARIO TIME!!!
Despite the sort of weird title, New Super Mario Bros. is exactly what it sounds like. It’s a new Super Mario Bros. game that pulls off the series’ classic 2D, side-scrolling gameplay without feeling contrived or like a needless nostalgia trip. While there’s plenty of old memories referenced in this game, it is most definitely new. You rarely see 2D platformers at all these days, and it’s even rarer when it’s done right. While experienced players might blow through the game quickly, New Super Mario Bros. is still completely awesome and absolutely necessary.
The game really rides the nostalgia line very well. There’s just enough old or remixed Mario music and sound effects in there to remind you of the older games, and there’s just enough newer-sounding stuff to prevent the whole thing from feeling shameless. In short, the audio is another one of the game’s many high points, containing plenty of great sound effects (both old and new) and the standard array of speech you’ve come to expect from Mario.
With its ability to recall the older games without leaning too heavily on its famous name, New Super Mario Bros. is an essential new classic that lives up to the legacy of the series quite well. If you’re looking for a quality DS game, look no further.
Customer Review: Keeps the little ones quiet!
We’ve bought several games for our son who owns a DS. He’s only 6 and the youngest, but he has managed to play this game without any problems. He has advanced quite far into the game and it’s one of his favourite DS games, in fact it’s one of two that he takes on every long car journey. We will definitely be buying more Mario games, to go with Mario Kart (his other fave) and this one. Highly recommended.

Customer Review: immersive
When I first started playing this game I thought I wouldn’t have the patience for it. The dialogue is very heavy and at first all the conversation seems meaningly and irrelevant, however I perservered and I’m so glad I did! You get totally lost in it, just like a good book. The characters become interesting and slowly but surely everything starts coming together. I finished it last night, and was gutted! Replay value obviously isn’t that high, but it was a real surprising treat for me. Plus, the graphics are very clever and suited the game amazingly well.
Customer Review: Boring, Boring, Boring
I bought this game after reading the good reviews about it and expected it to be really good. I was bored out of my mind. The music is boring, the graphics are poo and overall I just think it is rubbish. It could do with a little more colour and the characters need more personality. Do not buy this game. If you like games to challenge you then this is not the one for you, in fact it is not the game for anyone. They should stop selling the game and destroy all of the ones that have already been sold. Oh yeah, and did I say - this game is poo!

Dogz is one of my best games. I got it in June, play it every day and it’s never got boring! The game starts and your a boy/girl and you and your parents chose a puppy from loads of different breeds. Then you go home and start looking after your dog. There are lots of tricks your puppy has to learn. Also, you can decide how you want your room to look with things thatou buy or are given. This game is a must for all dog lovers!!!!!!!!!!!!

Customer Review: My 6 year and 9 year olds love This Game
Since getting this game my Six year old has been unable to put it down, much to my nine year olds dismay, I can’t believe how good she is at rolling the monkey in the right direction. (requires quite a lot of practise) I am considering buying a second game to save arguments. A perfect gift for Christmas that should go down very well.
