    What was a pleasant beginning got taken out and taken back after just two hours due to getting utterly fed up from the laziest camera ever seen in a 3d game. Prepare to get constantly hit by unseen enemies (on a par with Death Jr...shudder) and stuck in holes you can't see the way out of.

    I am sorry, I didn't like this game. All of the physics feel very wonky, the combat is you just shaking the Wii Remote to become invincible, getting new weapons and parts don't feel achieving as they are pretty much in your main pathway, and the music is very repetitive. Though its not the worst of the worst, its environment is very unique and interesting, but is pretty much wasted becauseI am sorry, I didn't like this game.

Though its not the worst of the worst, its environment is very unique and interesting, but is pretty much wasted because of the stupid game-play. But what seals this game fate is the face that you control the camera with the D-Pad, that's so stupid and makes the platforming so darn clunky, and they print it on the cover that, "Best Game For The Wii Since Mario Galaxy... A Franchise Is Born!" makes it the cherry on top. I would never recommend ever anyone pick up this game, its a waste of money and time.… Expand

    It'd have a Gold Award but for the camera. That aside, it's pretty wonderful. [Dec 2008, p.75]

    If you're hungry for some classic 3-D platforming, Mushroom men is definitely worth checking out. [Holiday 2008, p.84]

    Even in this realm of sub-average platformers, you have several better options than Mushroom Men. [Dec 2008, p.124]
