Alright, in this review, I shall make a review based on the very overpopulated and very famous game known as Super Mario 64. Expect a lot of favorites since I just adore this game as a child and today I feel the same. The famous thread begins...now.
DIFFICULTY: 7
It isnn't really that hard now that you think about it, yeah it has its tough challenges but nothing really to worry about in the future, the real challenge is to grab all 120 stars. That is what gives it a higher rating, since it does have tough stars to grab, like the hidden stars, and the 100 coin stars. Those are sometimes tough to get, especially if you have to do a specific pattern to get it correctly. Its tough, but you can manage to beat it.
DEPTH: 8
It takes a while to beat it, yeah, you can beat the final bowser in about a couple of days, but if you want to really clean house and grab every star, it will take a LOT of time and skill to get it right. The right way to do it is to clean out every level one step at a time, and even that will take days to do. If you are a crafty veteran at the game you can do this easily, but if you are new at the game, it WILL take time for you to clean out the levels. Even I haven't beaten the game 100% yet, but I do know what's gonna happen when you do get it and I'm not going to tell...this is a review, not a spoiler.
STORY: 8
This is one of the original stories, but its a bit different then the regular mario storyline, this story is about the castle toads and even Peach being sealed away in the castle's walls thanks to Bowser. Now he is in full control of the castle with all of the powerstars. It is now Mario's duty to grab them all and restore power and expell Bowser and his minions from the castle forever. That is a very good story, I like the direction it went.
ADDICTIVENESS: 10
This game is waaaay too addicting for me to handle, I can play this game for hours and hours on in. It will never get old to me, because of all of these classic levels to play and you can pretty much do anything in the game, its very fun. You can fly, go through walls, and walk underwater! Yeah, this game will keep you busy for a long long time.
SOUND: 10
Another perfect Ten for this one, the music is really a good game, and I enjoy the heck out of the soundtracks, and effects. Good quality work on that one. The first game to have mario WITH voice Acting for many of the characters like Mario, and Peach...Bowser I don't know if that is voice acting, but it could be just sound effects. Anyways, I love the Sound in this game, definately a great work on that.
GRAPHICS: 9
The graphics that were in a 3D perspective were really good, I definitely liked the way they used the effects to make Mario in his 3D world. It had no flaws in my eyes, but they could have done a bit better with the camera angles...not sure if that counts with the graphics or the gameplay itself, but other than that, they did a great job with the modeling on the game.
OVERALL: 9.6
So overall this game is a great game to try and if you try it right now, I would bet everything that I own that you wouldn't be disapointed with the game. And THAT I promise you guys, the game's depth, addictiveness, Sound Track, and Graphics, there is a very slim chance that you would not like this, but this is my opinion. Go ahead in the RGR and play it right now.
Have a great day everyone.
