Mario spin-off games always work, don't they? Previous games like Mario Tennis and Mario Soccer have sold like hotcakes just because the Mario characters are present with all the usual powerups like strength-enhancing mushrooms etc. And now we have this: Mario Hoops/Basketball. The idea is quite attractive, but hardly original. Nevertheless, my guess is this game will still sell well when it hits the US. The graphics in this game are good: for DS standards, that is, and very colorful to look at. The usual Mario characters are present with a few guest characters from Square enix (final fantasy) that requires unlocking. The Japanese edition is very import friendly: menus are kept minimal and tutorials have clear instructions. The reviewer feels that the biggest let-down is the control system. Movement through use of the D-pad and passing & shooting through slashing movements with the stylus across the touch-screen. There are many techniques to learn and you'll remember how to perform them quickly. However, a lot of practice is required to be able to perform the techniques accurately. Using the stylus and touch-screen, a large amount of error in command input can be expected: you want to perform a certain move, but the ds does something else. There is therefore quite a steep learning curve to this game, making it unsuitable for very young kids and those who are unfamiliar with the stylus&touch-screen. This weakness is more apparent in the harder stages of the game where the CPU skillfully whoops your butt while you can't even lay a tackle on them! Conclusion: don't expect to be able to get the hang of this game instantly like mario kart. |
