This game is a rock solid platformer that at it's best has some of the best platforming elements out there in a game and at's it's worst has some serious camera problems. When I mean serious I mean things such as blind jumps. I hate blind jumps. A game in my mind could be right up there with scoring a 10 but have one maybe two blind jumps at the most and that right there makes it drop at the very least to points. Maybe I'm harsh maybe not harsh enough. I did enjoy the platformig elements and the new twist with the water cannon, but the running and jumping of Mario is getting a little old. It's still right up there with some of the most solid platformers out, but that's where, in my mind, it ends. It no longer stretches beyond the bonderies of action and so on. It's gonna be stuck there in platforming as long as you've gotta jump your way through. As I said the water cannon is cool and the premise of cleaning up the graffiti ridden town is a new twist on Mario but utimately genre is running out of steam.
