The game that started it all.. Batcake
Hello good people of Vizzed. It's been a while without a review from me. I decided to write this review on Vizzed because somehow "The Game that started it all" had no reviews..
So anyway, lets get right into the action!
Indroduction:
This was the game that started the whole Mario bros. series and other Mario games.
Since it's release for the NES, it became one of the best in the world at the time. People played and enjoyed it, so they made a second and a third one. And guess what? They made 30+ more games after that! Probably the best video game series ever in my opinion.
Graphics - 8/10
Decent graphics overall. Even though this game was released ages ago, it still has decent graphics today. Mario looked pretty bad in my opinion so that's a deduction of a point. He may just be a red blob or something. I didn't see his mustache, and even his face so well. But in the future games, they changed Mario a lot, and Mario looks amazing now-a-days. The enemies looked pretty good in my opinion. They had loads of enemies as well and I like how every one of them moves and stuff.
Sound / Audio - 9/10
Hey, they still use some of these music in modern Mario games! Very good music choice for the levels and stuff out there! Even squashing enemies still counts as some kind of music. Even jumping like Mario does has decent audio.
The deduction of one point came from the repeating of music for a lot of the levels in this game. I wish they could change it and do much more different audio tracks, but that will take a lot of work, and some of the music might sound a little wrong.
Still, good music.
Addictiveness: 9/10
"Aw man, another failed speedrun." So the speedrunner usually tries, and tries, and tries again.
Even regular people that already beat the game, they want to play more usually.
It's even addictive for me, so yeah. Sometimes also an exciting game at the same time.
-1 Deduction because there isn't "More' into the game once you beat it a few times..
Story - 10/10 - Perfect score.
Excellent story in my opinion. Of course there is a reason to defeat Bowser and rescue Peach. It's amazing to see how a game this old uses the same Story today for Mario games.
No deductions, no nothing. I love this Story overall.
Depth: 7/10.
Well.. 8 worlds is not enough for hard gamers and stuff. Still, this is a great game, and I do not put too much blame since it was a pretty long game back then. I didn't like the idea of warps... AT ALL.I don't want anyone skipping worlds or levels. I want people to actually play the whole game, like I do, so yeah. No offence people that uses all of the warps. :3
But the levels are kind of and kind of not long. Especially World 8, they have some neat and pretty long levels. :3
So...
-2 - Not much levels.
-1 - Some levels are short and can be completed in 20 seconds.
Difficulty
6/10
It's a 6!
This game wasn't that hard. I'm not going to do deductions on this one.
The final castle wasn't hard at all. It was just pretty much a maze and the final battle wasn't really a "final" battle.
I admit that some levels are hard for me to complete. But only 1 or 2 fails, the level seems so easy now and I go on and on until I complete the game. Anyone with me here?
If there was just one very hard level, I would have rated this game an 8.
Overall: 8.5/10
Decent Graphics and sound. Very Addictive especially for hard gamers including me. Excellent story and which is still used in present Mario games. Not many levels with not much difficulty, but this is one of the best games for the NES in my opinion.
+4 for Graphics and Sound
+1.5 for how addictive it is for hard gamers and others.
+3 for the excellent story.
8.5/10
Deductions:
-1.5 - Graphics, Audio, etc can be improved as said above.

Please rate, and possibly reply. It is greatly appreciated. I haven't typed one of these in such a long time, so please don't say bad stuff to me.
