never mind the "they spent $700 on a phone but cant bother to spend $10 on a game argument"

the fact that they are complaining about the price is just ridiculous and petty. it shows that they actually enjoyed the demo enough to want to play it more, but got upset that it costed money.

a price does not dictate quality. just look as No Man's Sky for example. it was a terrible game and nowhere near worth the $60 price tag, but lowing the price to say $20 will not magically make it a better game. it will still be a terrible game, it will just not cost as much money, and either way you decided to put money down for a game you knew was terrible.

in terms of Super Mario Run, you cant say that a $10 price tag makes the game worse. the game is getting great reviews and obviously it is perfect for a mobile game. dont be butthurt because you refuse to put down money for something you want

The game is getting average reviews, not great reviews.

It's ranked 82nd this year out of 144 iOS releases.  It has a metacritic score of 78 from reviewers, not gamers marking it down.

I tried super Mario Run this week and while it's ok, it could only be considered great by people who are passionate fans of Mario.  There are other games in the side-scrolling auto-running genre on iOS that are either better, or equally good for the same price.  These include:

- Rayman Fiesta (86 on Metacritic, $3-$4 depending on your region)

- Punch Quest (93 on Metacritic, free)

- Alto's Adventure (92 on Metacritic, $3.99)

- Wind Up Knight  and Wind Up Knight 2

If this game didn't have Mario in it, it would be an average game in a crowded genre.  An average game with an online requirement, meaning I can't play it on the Subway or on an airplane.

Most airplanes have wifi now.

 

Just sayin'.
