Super Mario Bros is a good game, but how good can it be?

Graphics 5/10
Well... compared to today's game graphics there really not much to say about this category. The graphics are only one solid color for each sprite, mostly because hardware capabilities were very bad back in the day. But this game could have done a lot better. Look at Contra, the graphics on that game was awesome!

Sound 8/10
The sound is the easiest to rate. The soundtrack in Super Mario Bros is very old school, making it sound awesome! But to be honest, every stage in a world has the SAME music. It's nice to hear, but really it's a 2 minute loop! Thank GOD Nintendo put different music on most worlds! I thought Nintendo would learn from the mistakes!

Addictiveness 10/10
A very addictive game, even if you have beaten the game already, it can still be very fun in many ways! Like most games, Super Mario Bros has a LOT of secrets. Most of them I couldn't find on my first try! Like the warp pipe! So many things to discover!

Story 1/10
I can't believe they didn't come up with something better! Start up the game, and what do you get? Straight into the game, no storyline or tutorial. Nothing! The only part that gives you a storyline is when you meet the toads in the castle, that's it nothing else (Except the end, but I'm not including that!) Even the badder games had a bit of storyline!

(My other reviews will include the Depth review!)

Overall 7/10
Overall, this game isn't bad. It does have a few flaws, but I can understand that when this is so old. There is a lot of replay value in this game though, so do check it out and let me know what you think of Super Mario Bros!

Thank you, I will try to make more detailed reviews in the future!
(P.S Your the first person to say something nice to me!)

Good review I just disagree with the numbers you gave. But then again I,m a Mario fan.

rebelyell : Thanks! Sorry the numbers I gave weren't what you predicted. But then again, I'm
NOT a Mario fan, rate this review!

As someone who is probably too young to appreciate the graphical breakthroughs Super Mario Brothers made, I can understand why you would not rate the game well.

As someone who is old enough to appreciate the graphical breakthroughs Super Mario Brothers made, I hope you might understand why I cannot agree with you.

These facts are the only reasons why I hope you understand you received a "2," instead of a more appropriate "1" rating, for your review.

MeatAndPotatoes : Yeah, I guessed that.
This wasn't a very good review to begin with.

I would say that this is a nice first review, but I would like more details in the review, like tornadocam said.

MeatAndPotatoes : It's okay to disagree with the scores given, but that shouldn't change the quality of the review at hand, if the reviewer gave good reasons to back up his/her score. I'm sure there are more reasons that you downrated the review, but your post comes off as "You didn't give the graphics a good enough score, therefore I don't like your review". At least, it does to me.
