"New Super Mario Bros. 2 is good. It was always going to be good, because Nintendo makes good games. That was never in doubt. However, it's a markedly more vacuous experience, bereft as it is of fresh gameplay and rigidly sticking to a formula with such zeal one would almost believe it a religious imperative of the developers. The coin collecting silliness may alter the player's approach somewhat, but it is nonetheless superficial and many players will doubtless get bored of it before hitting their million. The gimmick serves as an allegory for the entire game, really -- a glittering distraction, lacking any real substance." "At its core, New Super Mario Bros. 2 is a Mushroom Kingdom coin -- shiny and addictive, but carrying no practical value whatsoever." http://www.destructoid.com/review-new-super-mario-bros-2-232194.phtml |
Trolling? Is he not allowed to have a different opinion? Did you even read the revew? He says the game is good, just unoriginal. Which is 100% true, it looks exactly like NSMB1. Just because Jim Sterling factors in originality in his reviews does not make him a troll. And how is a 7 out of 10 suddenly a bad score, that seems very generous for an unoriginal and uninspired game.
Sigs are dumb. And so are you!
