New Super Mario Brothers (Wii, uncompleted)

This is a pretty fun game, for the most part. It's "good". I really enjoy it when playing with four people and it can be just as good with two and with one (but really, it is meant for multi-player!) It can be a good social game as long as you aren't trying to Beat It! If you get frustrated easily, it could be hard on you. But if you just wanna beat up your friend by making them fall into lava (and die more often yourself in the attempt) then it's a blast.

Though I haven't finished it (not even close), I feel safe in saying that it's not quite up to par with the ol' "Super Mario World". It doesn't quite have the longevity, there aren't enough hidden worlds, not as many secrets... The "star coins" could have been used for so many better things than a stupid theater which shows you how much better other people are at this game (I guess it does give access to a last world, too, though, so it's not all bad.) The biggest problem with the game, however, is it's lack-luster use of motion control. It could have used the "B" trigger to better effect instead of a shake of the wand.
