Not the BEST game I've ever played... - Reviewed on 2008-10-02
I'll be honest...I confess that playing the game for the first time was a bit of an anticlimax after being hyped up on so many of the good reviews and pictures of the amazing graphics. My shorthand take on it is that it's awesome and engaging, but at the end of the day, when you turn it off, you know it's a game. In my opinion, that's bad, because a very good game is supposed to keep your beliefs suspended and let you entirely into its world. A good game lets you take its reality and make it yours.
Sadly, the absence of that means that I think my first play-through of the game is going to be my last, at least for a very long time. Not because I don't WANT to ever play it again, but because I'm just not... interested enough in it. How could a game this amazingly made have such little replay value (for me, anyway)? I'm still trying to figure that out.
But for now, I'm just going to forget about that and look forward to playing as Luigi. That should be cool.
Anyway, the pros and cons.
Pros:
MAGIKOOPAS!
Very relaxing soundtrack. The Kamella battle music is particularly neat.
Sweet graphics.
The gravitational effects are fun to play around with.
Cons:
The characters' dialogues are rather boring.
The constant sensation that I'm playing a slightly easier but never-ending Super Mario Sunshine "Secret" level.
Rosalina and the Lumas annoy me for some reason.
A peculiar lack of a desire to replay anything after I've completed it... ever. o_O
Well, that's that.
