Is Super Mario Run overhyped? | The Tylt
Over 40 million people downloaded Super Mario Run in just four days—easily beating out Pokémon Go's first day record. Some find the game boring and overrated, especially when you have to pay $10 for it. But some gamers have found the game to be a nice departure from the average mobile game and incredibly fun. What do you think? 🍄

There's no doubt the game is a huge hit, but is it any good?
The game has received bad reviews from users complaining about being unable to play it without Internet connectivity, large file downloads, and excessive price tag.
Six days after the launch of Super Mario Run I’m still having fun, albeit in small doses. The initial run through the paid version’s 24 World Tour stages was a fun couple of hours, and revisiting those 90-second levels in order to gather up all the special coins is a fine way to spend a bathroom break.But the game’s two other modes, Toad Rally and the Kingdom Builder, are wearing thin. The idea is that players compete against their friends in Toad Rally in order to gather resources (color-coded Toad fans) to unlock new decorations for their kingdoms.
Here are some perspectives from people who enjoyed the game.
Tried #SuperMarioRun and it was fun and additictive. Shame it is online only or it would have been a sure buy.

Fans say the game is more complex than it seems.
Super Mario Run is great, well worth $10. Everyone complaining about the cost is the embodiment of why so much mobile gaming is casino-like.

For some, the price was hard to justify for what's essentially another endless running game.
