After a pretty disappointing experience with the first version of MF 2015, I was eager to try version 2.7 hoping that at least some of the bugs from the previous version were fixed. I was about to be disappointed once again, though this time it's even worse, because this is supposed to be an update and updates should do just that: iron over any flaws from the original work. This is not the case here: with the exception of the save system which works now, all the other issues I had the first time have been carried over, making this release completely unjustified. Even worse, I couldn't finish World 4 and not because I sucked and gave up, but because of a bug which causes you to fall through some platforms that are the only way across a gap, making progress impossible past that point. If this were still beta, I would be slightly more tolerant (even though platform jumping is one of the most basic things which MUST work no matter what), but the fact that this claims to be a redesign and you can't finish it because of a simple bug, HUGELY diminishes the tolerance I'm willing to grant it ! Such a blunder is enough to make the game flop miserably right there, but on top of that you've got other common flaws which suggest a poorly designed game. Admittedly, some of these bugs are minor and "cosmetic" and they don't affect the gameplay, but even those are only acceptable up to the beta stage - anything after that should be smooth and polished. If I were to draw a list of issues, from major to minor, these would be: falling through platforms (which automatically makes the game impossible to beat), no continues (as usual), not becoming invincible after crossing the marker at the end of the level (which caused me to die once), very few coins and extra lives in the later stages, no checkpoints in some levels, some parts which require you to shrink yourself to pass through (which is totally not fair and annoying), soundtracks that are too quiet or levels with no soundtrack at all, no level-complete sound in some levels, random sound effects, missing coin counter in World 3 and grammar errors on the start-up screen...there's probably more if I were REALLY nitpicking, but that's already enough to sum up the whole game. I'm sorry, and feel free to defend it if you want, but the proof is pretty solid - you can clearly see this is a low-quality game ! Take a great game, such as "The Minus Worlds" and compare it to this: the difference is night-and-day, and the fact that another designer managed to deliver an awesome game means it CAN be done - it wasn't a matter of time or technology !.......NOT good....Massive work needs to be done before this can be considered THE 2015 version of Mario Forever ! Try it at your own risk, but I can assure you that you won't be satisfied, especially if you've played a proper MF game (and if you want that, try "The Fuckin' Minus Worlds" !). Danny out.
