It's not badly written, and I like the tone of it, so my following criticisms are probably gonna sound more like preferences, but it kind of does everything I don't want a review to do, which is only very briefly scratch the surface of the game and fails to look at it at a different angle...You don't paticularly have anything original or new to say about the game; but then neither do most other reviews. So there's the yawnsome stuff about Nintendo in the introduction. How refreshing it would if a review just...started...about the game..not the story*.
Just saying, though you agree:
However, at the risk of going off topic it’s probably best to move onto the game.
It probably serves well as a buying guide, but I guess everyone has got the game anyway, and this type of game doesn't need much of a review.
2.5 thumbs out of 5.
Would have got 5 thumbs out of 5 if the review ended at 'Nintendo hate us'.
