Multiplayer modes are a lot of fun, whether you go co-op or competitive; replay value is very high indeed.
No online multiplayer option; not much in the way of innovation.

As much as we hate to begin a review with a question or comment framed in the resoundingly negative, we have to ask. How can a franchise continue to thrive with such little actual innovation? The answer, of course, is that the germinal ideas were so st...

NEW Super Mario Bros. Wii is surely a classic – it just isn't as big of a classic as it could have been. You'll love it and play it to death, but don't be surprised if those painful feelings of déj? vu and disappointment take over every now and then.

New Super Mario Bros Wii exudes games of olde, melding the best aspects of pretty much every Mario-based platformer ever made and then some. But it’s more than just a jumpastic, coin gathering platformer. It’s a speed trek through gaming nostalgia t...
Many of the best elements of previous Mario platform games in one place. Players can join and leave the main game at any time. Quicksave feature. A lot of great powerups, new suits and hidden stuff to find.
Odd timing issues, slightly lighter gravity and a few awkward motion control issues.

New Super Mario Bros. Wii is precisely the game that, back in 1991, I figured we'd be playing 20 years down the road. That is to say, it's a direct evolution of the classic Mario games, specifically Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario World. Of course...
