Review: New Super Mario Bros. Wii (Wii)

+'s
-2-D Mario
-up to 4-player co-op (drop in-drop out) with the ability to play competitively or cooperatively
-some new abilities and gameplay mechanics

-'s
-2-D Mario (there's only so much room for Nintendo to expand on this genre)
-nothing incredibly new or exciting

Neutrals
-game can get crazy with multiple players (mix of frustrating and fun)

Overall, this is a tough game to review: it's a quality 2-D platformer, but most of it has been done before (and much of it is still available at a fraction of the cost) and little feels truly fresh. The main points are a 2-D Mario on the Wii and the multiplayer component.
