Super Meat Boy Review

Best platformer ever! Honestly, I think this is my favorite platformer of all time.

Now, I am a huge fan of platformers. I mean huge. From Donkey Kong, to Mario, to Crash Bandicoot, to Banjo-Kazooie; I just really love them all. Maybe it's the great childhood memories. The game really brings me back to the controller throwing difficulty that most of these types of games bring to the table, but something about that just make feel at home.

WARNING

Super meat boy is not for the faint of heart at all. This game gives me nightmares because of how difficult it gets. When you turn this game on be prepared for hours of dying and frustration. Now all of that said, this game is hands down the easiest platformer to control. I want to give a shout out to the guys over at Team Meat for some of the best programming I have ever seen. This thing truly controls like butta. So, through your hours of dying at the very end of a level, you know that it was not unfair because the game controlled badly or the maps were designed poorly. Your deaths rest solely on yourself for messing up. There was not a single time where I died and I felt cheated by the game, only myself.



You play as Meat Boy, a character who is in love with Bandage Girl and Bandage Girl gets held hostage by Dr. Fetus who hates Meat Boy because he has found love and no one loves Dr. Fetus. So he uses obstacles and traps to keep you from your ultimate goal: To save your true love, Bandage Girl.



This game has it all: dark humor, amazing controls, interesting and fun levels, and even a bit of a story. I spent hours and hours button smashing and screaming in anger. I played this game for so long my hands started cramping. Super Meat Boy is on it's own level of addicting, I would compare it to heroin, not that I know what that's like. Super Meat boy is a must play for all gamers. I can't think of a single reason not to pick this game up and give it a try.

At 20+ levels per world, 7 worlds, 1 bandage per level to collect, and the time trials for an A+ rating so that you can unlock a much harder version of the level in the dark world, this game will keep you playing for hours upon hours. This game is a completionists dream. There is just so much content to keep you up at night screaming at your TV "I SAID JUMP!".

I give this game an amazing 9/10
