YES REALITY super mario sunshine video game review

YES REALITY!

The video game is called super mario sunshine and it is manufactured by nintendo. The genre of game is fantasty/adventure. The game is part of a series as there are many other super mario games on all different video game platforms.

There is a set story in the game that must be completed to progress through the game and to go to different points and locations within the game. The story revolves around killing little flowers on your route to cleaning up an island that has been trashed by a culprit, and at the end you come face to face with the culprit and battle him. The games is played on nintendo gamecube and to control the game you use a nintendo gamecube controller. The different controls on the controller take control of the character and enable you to do different things with him. For example, A jumps and X changes weapon.

 The game can be played only on nintendo gamecube. The visual quality of the game is not exceptional but this is become it is an old platform and high definition and detailed graphics hadn't been produced when the nintendo gamecube was released. The colours are bright so it is easy to make out everything that is on the screen and it is also nice to look at and doesn't hurt your eyes. 

There is music in the background that is simple and flows with the feel of the game. There is also digetic sound that ties in with the actions that you are making your character do, for example when you take off on your jetpack you can hear the sound of the water pressure coming out of the bottom of it. There is no surround sound because it is no necessary on a game of this nature, and surround sound wasn't developed when the nintendo gamecube was produced. 

The game is enjoyable to play, although sometimes it seems a little bit confusing as ther story isn't always completely obvious what you have to do and where you have to go in order to achieve success on the mission but once you know what your doing, it is addictive and makes you want to keep playing. Once you have know what you have to do and where you have to go, the rest of the story follows on from and it and makes more sense as you get deeper and deeper into the story. The controls are easy to grasp, although sometimes the camera angle goes into positions where you can't actually see your character and it makes it very hard to control it and know what to do. There is an analog stick that controls the camera angle, but it feels like as a player, you shouldn't have to adjust the angle to be able to see your character it should be adjusted already by the game itself.
