Today, I will review Super Mario 64 for the Nintendo 64.
Graphics: 8
The graphics are pretty good for a Nintendo 64. However, because of the depth of them, the actually 3-dimensional lines you can see, it gets old sort of fast, and compared to today's game;s graphics, they are not all the great. However, they are pretty good for this game's time, so I will give it a solid eight.
Sound: 9
The sounds are great. One of my favorite things to hear from this game is that when you turn it on, it goes: "It's a Me! Mario!" If you try saying it a few times with the game, it can get very addicting. The sounds in each "stage" are different from each other, and are suited to the each individual challenge. This is very cool and neat, and interesting. I imagine quite a bit of the budget alone went into the sounds and audio. So, this game gets a excellent nine in sound.
Addictiveness: 5
Super Mario 64 is only addicting for two reasons, and only if it applies to you:
1. You are a Mario fanatic, or
2. You hate it when you can not get past a part, so you just deal with it, find another one, and move on.
This game was pretty good on Nintendo 64, but the remake for the Nintendo DS, Super Mario 64 DS, was very aggravating. I traded it in after about a week of playing it for maybe 2 hours a day. The Nintendo 64 one was decent. But, as I mentioned above, it was not very addicting because it was very aggravating. So this game gets a "meh" 5.
Story: 8
Super Mario 64 is alright. The story is pretty much the same: Bowser kidnaps Peach, Mario finally finds Bowser, beats him up, defeats him, rescues Peach, and then: Happily Ever After. But, even though this game does follow that story line, it is changed up a bit. You have things to help you along the way. I will not spoil anything, but this is a bonus, so that adds to the appeal of the story, causing me to have to give it a solid 8 as well.
Depth: 10
This game takes a very long time to beat. It took my father maybe 2 years to beat it, playing about 5 hours a week. There are so many different maps, different missions, so to speak, to do. There is just the right amount of too much to comprehend, and enough to keep you guessing. Therefore, I am giving this a perfect 10.
Difficulty: 8
This game is very difficult, to me at least. There are a few parts that I complete gave up on until I had nothing else left to do, forcing me to go back and finally beat it to move on. However, it is not getting a ten because it is beatable, even if it might take forever to finally beat, and because if you are a Mario fan, then you are probably used to the difficulty of some of the Mario games. That means this game gets a solid 8 in difficulty.
Overall: 8.6
I am giving this game an 8.6 in overall, because it is a Mario game. Also, it is pretty interesting, if you actually play it. I would definitely recommend it to a new user on this site, any Mario game fan, or a fan of games that have really long story modes.
