"Love the idea, and it should be challenging", are your first thoughts as you prepare to dig your teeth into it.

It should be challenging, but it isn’t, and by the end of it you’ll be digging your teeth into it to find out if you can eat it as well or you want your money back. I played it for four hours and have already completed it!

There are some cute features about the game. When you type your name in at the start it remembers it and even brings it up in a shooting challenge. Arrr!

Also they’ve spent some time on the joining story board sequences between levels.

The first of which I watched all the way through, you know, new game and all, but the next one went on for just a bit too long so I skipped it. Hang on a minute, you can’t!

So what’s left? Surely Nintendo left something for the purist like myself, who likes to leave no stone unturned? Well thankfully the answer is yes. There are some two player games that you could invite a friend around to play.

Make sure to remove his brain first though, for these single button wonders are so simple it’s not beyond you to play both players at the same time. O.K. O.K.

There is a bonus level that pops up that lets you do just bosses, which continues round again, becoming more taxing each time, and I didn’t accomplish it first attempt.

After completion when this pops up also you get a bonus level that is all easy. Hurrah, well that should be, well… easy.

I don’t want this whole review to be completely grumblesome, the concept was a good one it was just neither long enough, nor hard enough.

It’s not a bad game but you just want more, more, more, particular with the average cost nowadays. Give it to your seven year old brother, he should love it!

5/10
