New Super Mario Bros. 2 review: Gold, standard
New Super Mario Bros. 2 is a good platformer. Nobody doubted it would be. However, it’s impossible to avoid holding a Mario game up to a higher standard than other platformers, and in that context it’s a lot less successful.
Three games in, the New Super Mario Bros. series is already set in its ways. Every Super Mario Bros. game used to define the rules; now I find the development team at Nintendo merely adhering to them. As a result, this feels less like something truly new and more like a remixed encore presentation of games you’ve played before.Gallery: New Super Mario Bros. 2 (7/26/12)Continue reading New Super Mario Bros. 2 review: Gold, standardNew Super Mario Bros. 2 review: Gold, standard originally appeared on Joystiq on Wed, 01 Aug 2012 12:00:00 EST.
