I have no problem with the score but when part of the reason for the score was lack of difficulty and the reviewer hasn't even completed the hardest part of the game..... it begs questions.

The core of the game.  Im sorry but i have played better platformers that are simply better that hasnt been repetitive like mario bros has been in the last 5 years.  And as i stated before, it being easy was not the only issue.  But when 8 worlds are not a challenge AT ALL i will stand by what I said. Being uninspiring, been there done that in the last 5 years multiple times, with little to no challenge, i see an issue. Nothing will change the fact that the level designs are easy. And for the coins on my second play through they are not hard to get either.  Just use the acorn power up for every coin.  I also stated that it made the game even easier when the game was already easy in the first place.  If the only way for a challenge is to go out of your way for coins then that is a flaw on the game because at the core of the game it is still easy.  As stated in the review, for the more CORE and EXPERIENCED i would not recommend this game.  It is more for the EVERyDAY gamer which is why its easier.    That way kids can have fun as well.  This is a core site and I will review it as such.  

Now instead of dwelling on coins so much you all can hop on over to the Donkey Kong Country 3D AUR review.

Whut? I guess I'm not experienced with 30 years of gaming every single day? You would not recommend it? I hated the co-op difficulty in NSMBWii and DKCR, this one was just right. And now you're complaining it's too easy when you use the acorn power up. That's like complaining Dark souls is too easy when you follow the Wiki. It's there as a last resort not to get completely stuck.
The game is not too easy, we both ended with 99 continues and still haven't finished all superstar road levels. Plus we had to resort to a guide a few times to find out where the last few coins were.
It seems you mostly played through it single player, using power ups and didn't complete the game.

After reading your DKC3D review I guess we better steer clear of that one. (don't have a 3DS anyway and no local co-op)

Please stop with that ridiculous "unbiased review" title.

The only way you could do an unbiased review is if you were a robot.

Nah. He'll say that coming from someone like you, it doesn't mean much...

But you might be onto somthing there.

No, it is because someone like you always tries to take a cheap shot at me everytime you get.  It has been like you have been waiting for 60 reviews to say things like this and it cracks me up. I have never met someone who is so fixated and obsessed with a random person on the internet as you are. It is weird, it is annoying, and something that YOU need to fix.

As stated above, if that is the case then go complain on every review about not completing every achievement/Trophy as they aslo add difficulty and prolongue the game.  Or go complain that someone hasnt finished Skyrim because it takes 1000s of hours to 100% complete it.  Or go complain about pokemon because someone didnt catch every single pokemon.  This list goes on and on.  




       

Friendly warning in here to keep this about New Super Mario Bros U and not to make it a referendum on other users or their practices.



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

Waiting for 60 reviews?? Are you kidding me? You really think I've read all of that narcissistic crap you write?

Get over yourself. I respond to what I see of you, according to what you project to people. It's like with your reviews. They don't have any value, but you still feel compelled to express your views. ^_-

i certainly don't need to follow you around or to obssess over your poor little self to stumble upon the threads you create or the comments you make. You know, there's a Hot Topic panel in every user's Main page.

"You're not special. You're not a beauctiful and unique snowflake."

So you have never read any of my reviews but decided to come in this one to specificly insult me?  Ok, makes sense.  I reported your edit but glad you tried to change it.

The fact i had to go specificly to a mod to get you to stop spamming my wall even after deleting you comments because you desperately feel i should reply to you shows you are being a little obsessive over me and follow me.   How the hell do you even know i delete your comments?  Do you just refresh your browser on my wall? That and every chance you get you have to make some comment on why you believe i am a specific way instead of ever commenting about the op.   

Then added to that you tell me things i should have never known in the first place which only adds my thoughts to your behavior towards me.

Nah just don't call it unbiased. You review from a hardcore singleplayer perspective, that's not unbiased.
But I haven't been following the unbiased review series I admit, not sure what it is all about. I just think 7.5 for co-op is a bit low since it's the best shared screen 2D platformer co-op we have played so far. The first one after LBP that stayed consistently fun and that we could complete all the way in co-op.

Perfectly reasonably and understandable :)

I would have given multiplayer a higher score if it wasnt for no online multiplayer.  I see that as inexcusable in 2012 and i had to take points away from it because of that.

And you bringing this all up in public tells quite a lot about the kind of person you are, don't you think? Nah, I don't think you have what it takes to see what it actually tells about you.

It seems like you're a "black or white" kind of guy. I either read every single reviews you wrote, or never ever read one before this one here... ¬_¬

As for the rest, I can only laugh at it. You like to give yourself more credit and more importance than you actually deserve. So think whatever you want. I comment to your actions. I like the way you react to being called out or criticized. Because in your little world, you can't ever be wrong. I find it entertaining. 

But you can rest assured that you're not the only one who entertains me. xD

Now, I'll be the wiser guy, and leave this argument be. I've said everything I had to. Which is: Your reviews are anything but unbiased. Get this pretentious idea out of your head.

And what kind of guy am i?  I never knew you could tell who I am because I delete your comments and try to avoid you as much as possible.  Or do you know about my personal life because that you dont.  Or can you tell from my reviews on the guy i am?  What about the consoles i like, is that it?  Do i seem a little defensive?  yeah i do because you constantly attack me and constantly get away with it.  I had a mod specificly call you a "Dick" but you didnt get banned when you clearly broke the rules.  Now you say i write narcisistic crap and you will likely get away with this too.

Then you come to another website and get banned because of your past behavior where i somehow took the blame from you because i am a mod and apparently the most flame baiting guy on VGC from your words.  Have i ever once attacked you in any shape like these?

But things continue because every chance you get you post on my wall to where i have to delete them because I try to avoid you to only have another post on my wall in less than 3 minutes by you again.  Just to make a stealth troll like insult.

You tell me how i am but maybe you need to take a step back and look at who you are because this is all very obsessive behavior while continueing to try and insult me.

Yes you can laugh at whatever i say but there is not one thing that I have said that has not been true.  This all actually happened and you know this.
