Gameoz said:I use to own the import and it is a very good game.
I have it pre-ordered and will be picking it up again. If you like the Super Mario Bros. games, I think you will like it. It is more like Super Mario Bros. 2 though than the others.
It is very colorful, controls great and the touch screen is actually put to good use. Peach has four special powers at the bottom that you can touch to make things happen. These powers come in handy during boss fights and to get past certain areas.
Next week is Super Monkey Ball and then the week after is Super Princess Peach.

Gameoz said:Someone at Gamefaqs posted the new DS scores from GI.
Age of Empires 8.0/7.0
Pokemon Trozei 8.25
Super Princess Peach 8.75/9.25
I don't really go by reviews, however it is clear that Age of Empires is getting some good reviews and should be decent.
I have played both Pokemon Trozei and SPP and as stated they are both excellent. Pokemon Trozei is a very good puzzle game but I think they are releasing it too close to Tetris. They should have released it a couple of months back.

Peach uses her umbrella as her attacks. Y & B allow you to do this. You can also scoop up enemies by hitting the X Button and then hit down on the D-Pad to absorb them to fill up the bar. The bar allows you to do special abilities.
The touch pad special abilities are pretty kewl too. You have a special bar under your life bar, that you have to fill up, in order to make these abilities work. The orange heart makes u fly, the blue heart makes you cry(not sure what that does yet???), Red heart(angry) makes you go into a flame mode, and the green one i have yet to figure out. I'm not the type the reads the instructional manual yet as well. hehe
I think the game is very fun and will cater to any 2-D Mario fan. Don't let the main character and graphics fool you. It's another great game to add to the DS line-up.
