Blogging the experience of gameplayhttps://www.gamelog.cl/gamers/GamerPage.php?idgamer=277https://www.gamelog.cl/logs/LogPage.php?Log_Id=1441One great thing about this game is all the different power ups you can get. One of my favorite was the racoon tail, it is kind of a weird idea but it works so I like it. The many different powerups you can get make the game more fun because it opens up all kinds of different possibilities for puzzles and secret areas that mario can get into. They also allow for a lot of diversity so it makes the game more fun. Another one of my favorite powerups was the boot that you can jump around in and be lamost invicible in, it was fun. Great game.Fri, 23 Feb 2007 17:10:57 CDThttps://www.gamelog.cl/logs/LogPage.php?Log_Id=1441&iddiary=3045https://www.gamelog.cl/logs/LogPage.php?Log_Id=1441Wow, I forgot how much fun this game was. The level design on this game is really good. It has lots of secrets and warps and there is a lot of variety. The different worlds are great too, they make the game way more fun. The game has a resemblence to the original marios which is nice because is has a good feeling to it. This adds to the fun because of the familiarity of the mario character. The game is based on having great level design and it does a good job with it.Fri, 23 Feb 2007 16:17:09 CDThttps://www.gamelog.cl/logs/LogPage.php?Log_Id=1441&iddiary=3036https://www.gamelog.cl/logs/LogPage.php?Log_Id=1248This game is really sick, the levels in it are designed nicely. There are lots of fighting areas that waves of enemies just come after you and you have to kill all of them. One cool thing is the chainsaw at the end of your gun tha you can cut enemies open with. There are items everywhere that you can hide behind that do well with the way the game is created because of how you can hide behind everything. Lots of spots to hide things in the leves and the levels are just erally really nice looking.Fri, 09 Feb 2007 16:44:58 CDThttps://www.gamelog.cl/logs/LogPage.php?Log_Id=1248&iddiary=2687https://www.gamelog.cl/logs/LogPage.php?Log_Id=1248One of the cool things about this game is the way that the gameplay actually takes place. you can hide behind anything and pop out and shoot guys and then go back into hiding whenever you want. I have never seen a game like this before play so well and so easily and that allows you to pop out whenever you want and hide behind anything you want to hide behind.

The graphics are very nice and the cut scenes are sick. One way this game tells its story is it makes you walk around and that is all you can do while your character is talking on his headset to command or the other squad. This allows them to tell a story and advance the plot while still making it feel like you are making progress in the game. I really liked this way of story telling because it makes you listen to everything they are saying while you still get to see gameplay. The cut scenes, however are also done very nicely. The story is pretty cool all around as well which is also nie.Fri, 09 Feb 2007 15:00:43 CDThttps://www.gamelog.cl/logs/LogPage.php?Log_Id=1248&iddiary=2662https://www.gamelog.cl/logs/LogPage.php?Log_Id=1002The challenges in each level present great gameplay. A lot of them are pretty difficult to figure ou and all present some sort of challenge, whether it is a puzzle or boss challenge or just having to do a race. Some of them also connnect with other things you have to do in the game, such as unlock certain color blocks to be able to get some stars. There is the constant star you get for collecting 100 coins in each level or getting all the red coins, which are nice throwback ideas from original mario games. The controls on this game are nice, very easy to get a hang of and allow for you to be able to move th camera angles easily, sometimes in some games it is a little tricky or annoying to move the camera angles, but in this game it is easy and helpfull to be able to do that. The controls also allow for lots of different jumps, which all come in useful to mario because he needs to be able to jump far high and short at times.Wed, 31 Jan 2007 12:44:37 CDThttps://www.gamelog.cl/logs/LogPage.php?Log_Id=1002&iddiary=2225https://www.gamelog.cl/logs/LogPage.php?Log_Id=1002One of the greatest things about this game is the vast variety of levels and the design of each level. First of all the starting castle stage you are in is itself a level, with many secrets to be found. This makes the game a lot more enjoyable because you have to keep your eye out for all the secret stars and secret levels in the castle. Each level is designed great in my opinion. They are all pretty big and the 3d environment creates a nice gameplay environment. The levels are designed to be challenging and to allow for lots of free movement, while still forcing you to complete the goal at hand. Most of the levels are pretty challenging, at least more challenging than when I was a kid for some reason, because there are lots of enemies and cliffs to fall off of in lots them. They are also challenging in the sense that you have to figure out what is going on and how to complete the goal by playing around in the level a little bit at first before you can just go in and collect every star of the level.Wed, 31 Jan 2007 01:23:30 CDThttps://www.gamelog.cl/logs/LogPage.php?Log_Id=1002&iddiary=2155https://www.gamelog.cl/logs/LogPage.php?Log_Id=827One great thing about this game and its gameplay is how you get cheats. There are a lot of cheats in this game and many different ways of getting them, such as beating a level in a certain time or killing everyone or many other different objectives that unlock the cheat codes. Those codes are meant for multiplayer, which brings me to perhaps the greatst part of this game- the multiplayer levels and options. I played this game with a few of my friends and we were righ back into it. The multiplayer levels are layed out great and have a good mix of weopons that are powerful and some that are not too powerful, depending on the options, to make the game really fun. The way the four player melle game works out is a classic and is very inspirational to many other new games, such as Halo. I like how th levels are spread out, but not too spread out that you can't know where everything is, and how the body armor/life system works.

The controls seemed almost foreign and without a second joystick I was lost. It took a while but the feeling for the one joystick and using the yellow buttons to look and side step came back to me, even though I still don't like doing it like that. It made me realize how much better having two joysticks on one controller is. Anyways back to the game, I started a new game to start playing this so I started from the first level. I like how they put in the three different difficulties with different objectives so you can go through all of them whenever you want and it is easy to access different difficulties if you want to. The gameplay was fun, it had a good story and the levels are laid out really well. I like all the different objectives you have to complete and how some of them are harder than others and trickier than others. I am still not completely used to these controls but I will continue playing.Fri, 19 Jan 2007 16:11:36 CDThttps://www.gamelog.cl/logs/LogPage.php?Log_Id=827&iddiary=1826https://www.gamelog.cl/logs/LogPage.php?Log_Id=637After playing this game a while longer I realized I forgot to talk about some of the new special tricks you can do. There is a thing called nail the trick that slows down time and concentrates on yoyur feet and the board. In this mode you can do flip tricks by moving the two joysticks different directions and timing the movements when the board grip tape is up or the trucks are up and then yo uhave to let go and land it when the grip tape is back up. This is a way to rack up a lot of points at the end of a big combo which is always nice to do. You can do nail the trick when you push in both joysticks. You can also slow down time to get better balance or land your tricks better by pressing in the left joystick when the special meter is up. It is a nice way to get lots of points because you can keep your balance really easily and watch your landings. As always it is good to do the special tricks which require more button combinations. After playing this game for this long I realize how fun it is and I will play some more after I am done with this.Sat, 13 Jan 2007 00:14:08 CDThttps://www.gamelog.cl/logs/LogPage.php?Log_Id=637&iddiary=1473
