General Commentary and Game Overview

Mario Bros VS. was at first sight a wonderful game. The animation and sound instantly grabbed my attention. I also enjoyed the music. The game made me feel like I was actually playing Mario Bros. but whit a new twist to make me want to continue playing. The also favored the controls fairly well.

Pros

+ Good sound
+ Good graphics
+ Nice music
+ The feel of the classic Mario Bros. game
+ Good control
+ Items
+ Bonus platform-styled levels

Cons

- Levels tend to repeat themselves (no big deal, since this IS a Mario Bros. game)
- Grabbing Koopa shells out of the ? blocks created an unneeded challenge.
- Sometimes there would be instances of no music (the music had to take time to restart)
- I thought Hammer Bros. should be able to be defeated by jumping on them. (maybe you can but, when I tried, it didn't work)
- You took out the high jump move from the first demo! I enjoyed that move...

Impressions

Gameplay 9 / 10	Amazing! I loved the game play. All Mario's movements were pretty accurate, up until trying to jump on Goombas, where you had to land RIGHT on their little heads to beat them, and if you miss; instant death. I wish you would put back the health system...
Graphics 10 / 10	Great. Absolutely no complaints. The graphics were flawless, and added on to awesomeness of the game.
Sound 10 / 10	Pretty good. Except the obviousness of the looping music (periods of no music playing).
Replay 8 / 10	I play it all the time! But once I beat it there probably won't be much of a point. But that's not quite your fault.

Final Words

One of my favorite fan games. If you can overlook the hard-to-grab shells, I'm sure any Mario fan will love it!
