This is a pure RPG game, absolutely no talent is required to play. You actually have almost no control over any part of the game. You just travel from one pre-planned point to another (never more than a few steps) and then you get another long story and boring battle or task. Really, I mean do I need to be told how to hit a switch three times in a row? I really don't know who this game is geared toward because younger kids would have a tough time reading the story (or just get bored) and the older player and adults are insulted by repetitive training and re-training for EVERY task. I cannot stress enough, that you really do nothing in this game, just follow the pre-planned story line without deviation.

The AMAZING! press reviews before this game was released seem a bit suspicious to me now that I played it myself. Did they really play it, or did that just watch a "cool" video.

This is one of the worst games I have bought for DS. Very confusing and elementary in parts. Not very much fun either!

This review is painful for me to write, as I consider myself an extremely avid Mario fan. I have a huge collection of Mario and Mario-related games. This game was a bigger disappointment than I could have ever imagined. It’s partially my fault, because I preordered the game without knowing anything about it (assuming it would be just as great as every other Mario game). I was horrified to find out this was an RPG! Very little of it plays like all previous Mario games (run around, find secret areas, bash blocks, etc.). And two hours into gameplay, I was still going through constant mini-tutorials. I’m sorry to say I don’t recommend this game.

So mind numbingly boring I can’t even describe it. No one over the age of 7 could possibly enjoy this game. It is repetative and very slow. You have to read more pop-ups then actually play the game. It is more enjoyable to watch grass grow. If I was not on an airplane it would not have gotten as much play as it did. I’ll stick with Sky Mall.

I am so disappointed in this game! I wanted the game to be like the old school Super Mario games. I thought that this title would satisfy me. However, the players have extremely limited movement resulting in a boring outcome. I plan on selling mine back. If you’re looking for a game that is similar to the old school Super Mario games go with Yoshi’s Island.
