Hello pros! This is MultiProPU15, and today, we are going to review the Atari 2600 port of Mario Bros., which originally was an arcade game. This game had pros, but many cons, so it's about time I stop my blabbering and get on with the review. Shall we put our review sunglasses and get started?

Graphics: 5
Why: The graphics is probably the worst thing about the game. The graphics are really bad, but can be forgiven because of the time the game released, what console the game was on, and how better it looked than some other games like E.T. Still, compared to the original arcade classic, this game looked bad, and that is sad.

Sound: 5
Why: The sound is ok. Of course it doesn't have any soundtrack like games nowadays, but the sound effects are interesting and ok. Still, in the original, there was a theme song that played before u started playing the game, but in the Atari port, it never played. I don't know why. There was games like E.T. (Yep, mentioned it again), the Atari port of Donkey Kong, and the Atari port of Pac-Man that had some sort of theme play, but yet, Mario Bros, didn't give us a Atari version of the theme from the original, and there isn't anything else to say beyond that.

Addictiveness: 7
Why: You know what? Despite of all of the cons I said earlier, the game is decently addicting and fun to play. I felt like wanting to play for a while at one point because I wanted to keep trying to get the highest score I can possibly get and sometimes even make fun of the game a little. Enough said of that, let's move on to the next topic of this review.

Story: 5
Why: The story is simple like every other Mario game. Basically, there is a pipe problem underground and Mario and Luigi goes there being the plumbing bros. They are to check it out, but it turns out what was causing the problem was monsters like Koopas and Crabs. The only way to stop them is to flip them and kick them. That's all the story is. Simple enough to be decent.

Depth: 4
Why: The game doesn't offer much but trying to get the highest high score you can get, and therefore, it doesn't have much depth to it.

Difficulty: 7
Why: This game is hard. It's really hard to go through even the second part since you are likely to die because of how broken jumps are, therefore it being hard to get a high score.

Overall: 6.5
Why: The game was decently fun, but had a lot of cons and problems with it. This is why Mario is only on Nintendo Consoles, and not other consoles. Thanks for reading and have a great day!

I noticed that this is your first post, welcome to the Vizzed Board forums!

Even though this review felt short, it's understandable since Atari games don't have much (especially when it comes to graphics) to talk about. I made a review for Pac-Man for the Atari 2600 and I struggled to say much.

You formatted this review excellently and I enjoyed reading it! Next time I suggest making your intro a little more descriptive. I didn't feel like you were blabbering at all XD

Keep making reviews and have a great day!

PacmanandMariofan : Thanks for those kind words! It makes me happy to hear that my review is good. Also, thanks for the feedback. It was hard to say much about the game, but for larger games like Ocarina of Time, I'm more likely to have a bigger review.

Great review and welcome to the site.
The only criticism I have is that you keep putting "Why:" after all the categories.
Its really not necessary... its kinda implied. 

But, keep up the good work. Are we gonna see a big review from you soon? :3
