Fun style with an entertaining 2D vs. 3D mechanic. However, points lost for truly excessive repetition of level layouts. Big props for evil!Luigi, though.
 
An enjoyable RPG with a refreshing lack of random battles. Captures the Mario feel pretty well. Innovative isometric view. Timing-based battles work very well.
 
Good overall game design with plenty of fun modes, unfortunately ruined by a nearly unplayable framerate.
 
Ack, highly unfinished, poor framerate, lots of glitches and bugs. Too bad, because the vehicle you pilot is a lot of fun to drive and fly around in.
 
One of the better Mario Kart games, with fun graphics (esp. the mall level) but still has the standard Mario Kart flaw: too much rubberbanding, cheap items.
 
A fun 3D Mario Kart, came around before the more ridiculously overpowered weapons were introduced. Used to spend a lot of time on battle mode with my friends.
 
I really enjoyed the two-people-in-a-kart mechanic, and the tracks were good, but as usual weapons were overpowered and rubber-banding too strong.
 
Fun style, but way too darn easy. Levels end early if you do "too well", frustrating. Very disappointing after the excellent Yoshi's Island.
 
An old but replayable classic. Mario Kart before all the especially ridiculous weapons were put in (though red shell is still pretty ridiculous). Catchy music.
 
I loved the exploration, and the game's commitment to its totally non-commercial design. But in the end, there's not much to do. Modding is where the potential is, but the mods are hard to work with, and the online interface is too primitive.
 
Very poor game design. The puzzle solutions are non-sensical. The robot controls are finicky and very slow. The hint system is slow and frustrating. And the flash interface causes lots of problems. This is too bad because the visuals are amazing.
 
Amazingly innovative gameplay that's difficult yet (nearly always) satisfying. Great music and visuals, that show a lot of lush detail and useful state. The writing was meh, but you don't have to pay much attention to it. The "star" puzzle is unfair.
 
I am so very very tired of sliding tile puzzles. This is the best imaginable presentation of a sliding tile puzzle game, but since the puzzle itself is largely unchanged (except even easier due to interchangeable blocks), I say "meh".
 
Fun concept, and the game is supported by very well coordinated visuals and music... but unfortunately the game itself is so simple and so dependent on chance starting conditions that it's more of a toy than anything else.
 
Wonderful style, which is unfortunately dragged down by the curse that plagues all physics-heavy games: extreme fiddliness. Puzzles have to be "solved" by just trying the same thing over and over. I want to see this designer on a better game.
