Really, I only saw them complain about the multiplayer there. Now, if single player is solid, and it sure seems to be, even if multi is not great (other people said it was, so maybe it depends on taste, or maybe it's just not as they wanted it to/though it should be, who knows), a solid single player 2D Mario with close to 80 levels and the return of many classic elements as well as the addition of some new and nice attention to detail (according to the ONM guy) is worth itself a lot more then a 7 IMO. There's no way an extra mode can LOWER a score, it just makes no sense.

So there's not much innovation. Well, neither did the DS game, or Super Mario World for that matter. So what? If it's good and fun as hell, it's good and fun as hell. I don't think a sequel should score lower when you actually have more fun with it just because it doesn't seem to change all that much, makes no sense, I though the purpose of reviews where helping you decide what game to buy, and that you would want to buy whatever game gives you the more fun for your money. But anyway.

Also, some people talked about online. I'm not even sure a Mario game would really work online. I sure don't want those pesky 200 mili seconds between me and Mario.
