Browser Game Pick: Super Mafia Land (Armor Games)
Armor Games have finally released the game they have been teasing us with for a while now: Super Mafia Land!
Inspired by their 'favourite game of all time', Super Mafia Land is an amusing take on the classic Super Mario Bros 2, turnip-pulling and all, but with an added Mafia storyline going on.
If you're interested, you can head over to Armor Games and give it a spin. Capiche?

Fine, if you like a slow-motion mario bros clone

Agree. Graphics are okish (backgrounds are nice), and that's pretty much all there is to say. Slow, horrible music, sucky controls - just how to fail a mario clone. Better play Giana on a C64.

Pretty meh. Up for jump? Seriously, in a Mario clone?

I'm sorry to say this about a John Conney game, but this one is really really bad.
Bad controls, bad music, don't like the mafia design that is just not funny at all... A bad copy.

The sound effect for climbing a vine sounds like a typewriter.

Good game, brought me back to the super nintendo days. Smooth gameplay and graphics, and easy-to-understand controls. Only problem I found was that it got a little boring after a while. Joe Pesci would be proud :))

Sorry Armor games, this one wasn't worth the wait. I'm fine with Mario-inspired platformers (LittleBigPLanet, N+ and Braid, for instance), but this game offered nothing new or interesting in terms of gameplay/level design. If you're going to clone Mario, get the contols right and give us some interesting levels to play. Where is the creativity here?
Also: bad controls, bad music, slo-o-o-w gameplay. And would it be so hard to come up with your own IP?
I'd rather just play a Super Mario World hack than this. The people who designed this game should go google 'Lunar Magic' and have their minds blown.

Jesus Christ, it's slooooooow! It's like an epileptics-approved version of Sonic the Hedgehog.

I have found the level structure to be too simple. it's only looks like SMB2, but the gameplay is not as good.
