DSi Shop Reviews: Dr. Mario and Mario vs DK

[MinisterofDOOM]

Dr. Mario rocks. The updated classic music brings back memories. It's fun to play and, like Tetris, doesn't really get old. VS CPU mode is fun but where's the wireless VS mode? Seems silly to have a vs mode that doesn't allow you to play against real people.

As for Mario vs DK...complete trash. I have the original for the GBA, and it was a lot of fun. This new game has NOTHING in common with it. It features miniscule levels and a degree of control that's so remote you might as well be watching a video of the game. You tap on the mini-marios to set them walking, then strategically move pink blocks to alter their pathways...but the blocks can only be moved in specific areas and the puzzles are so simple that you spend as much time navigating the menu select screen as you do completing the levels themselves. Complete and utter garbage. Don't know who came up with the concept for this game, but they should be fired, shot, and burned.
