So far it's a lot like the GBA version in that 1 player is seemingly identical (which isn't a bad thing). But the multiplayer... ohhh, the multiplayer is simply sublime.
There are so many different modes and each one is nothign short of genius. Anyone with more than one controller should get this. Now. The fun of jumping out at the screen and making it shake by jumping while someone else it trying desperately to complete a mini-game is hilarious, especially when you try to cover up vital screen indicators, it's all about who's got the quickest reactions and works like an absolute dream.
Also, the Japanese game boxes... rock. I thought they were just regular DVD case size but it seems they aren't, they're the most stylish and brilliant looking disc holdy things ever. Plus they're oh-so small.
Really, massive contender for game of the year.
